Eden is an American company that began in 1976. The company takes its name from Eden Prairie the location where the idea for the company was conceived. 〔(History ), with the company motto 'Never Compromise'. Eden Electronics〕 Specializing in the requirements of the bass musician, Eden designs and manufactures high-end bass amplification systems. This includes bass amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, power amps, bass pedals, and bass cabinets. Edens amplifiers span a variety of applications but its most famous series of products includes the World Tour Amplifier and D-series Cabinets. Eden's reputation was founded on the fact that everything was designed and built "in-house", including the speakers (a very rare feat by any manufacturer). The cabinets are still made in the USA, as are the speakers used in the cabinets. These use the same original design and engineering principles but are now produced exclusively for Eden by Eminence. Eden also sells a range of other products, such as WTX amplifiers. These use a switching power stage. E-series amplifiers and cabinet and Combos provide easy-to-use Eden tone for less experienced players. Eden amplifiers are used by a variety of musicians but are primarily favored by those people who are defined as "player's players" including many session musicians and technical recording artists. Notable recording artists include bass players Mike Rutherford from the progressive rock band Genesis and the 1980s soft rock group Mike and the Mechanics, Phil Lesh formerly of the Grateful Dead, and Mike Gordon of Phish. Users of Eden equipment span a wide variety of musical style from jazz and country to heavy rock. ==Company history== Eden was founded in 1976 in Eden Prairie, Minnesota 12 miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis. Originally Eden designed and manufactured sound re-enforcement systems, in particular speaker cabinets and then drivers whose popularity grew with sound engineers and with musicians. After a short initial period building more specialist re-enforcement equipment, the company saw the popularity that their cabinet products were gaining with bass players. As the design of Eden cabinets were so responsive the Eden cabinet became very sought after for players. Around the same time the company was also involved in a side project where it designed a new type of cabinet for a then rival company SWR this design was to be called the Goliath cabinet, and to this day alongside the Eden D Series of cabinets the industry standard in cabinet design and tone can still be traced back to the Research and Development from Eden and its engineers. Eden and its amplifier design also developed in parallel to its expanding cabinet business and moved from sound re-enforcement to specialize in the bass sector of the music market. Maintaining a position that good bass amplification should deliver clear and uncoloured tone with a lot of headroom the Eden world tour product line eventually emerged. Eden has undergone many changes including moving its production from Minnesota to Chicago when Eden became part of U.S. Music Corporation in 2003. This change also allowed the brand to increase the resources available to develop more products and enter into production of amplifiers and combos for less experienced players. In December 2011, Eden left U.S. Music Corporation and became part of the Marshall Amplification family. Following this move Eden became much more widely available around the world, primarily due to its improved distributor network. In addition, Eden now operates globally, with offices in both Chicago and in the UK at the Marshall Amplification headquarters. In addition the company grew and took on its own dedicated research and development facilities as well as re-hiring the company's founder as a consultant for its cabinet and speaker development requirements. Eden continues to grow and become more popular with the bass playing community while sticking to its company motto "Hi Fidelity for Low Frequency". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eden Electronics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
