MILLS Acoustics Introduces New Celestion-Powered Cabinets

March 03, 2006

MILLS Acoustics formally introduces their lineup of pro-grade Celestion powered guitar cabinets. The company has taken a unique approach in design and prototyping. Before making their cabs available on a mass basis, the company put them in the hands of select touring musicians, most notably Wes Jeans and Lance Lopez among others, and asked them to "try and break them."

Once the final construction methods and materials were selected, prototyping focused on cab sizes, shapes, and acoustical enhancements, in particular MILLS Acoustics' innovative "Afterburner" internal ported baffle. "We learned early on that a great speaker usually sounds flat when in the wrong cabinet. On the other hand, an average speaker can sound fantastic when mounted in the correct cabinet design. We combine the best of both in our product." Dave continues, "Celestion Vintage 30s have the well-deserved reputation of being some of the best sounding and most durable guitar speakers on the market. We felt it was time to enclose them correctly and are extremely pleased with the final result. The difference in tone and power is immediately apparent." The Company will use Celestion Speakers exclusively, from this point on.

The company sells its products factory direct from their website and through mail-order, however it is likely that by end of summer 2006, all sales will be through select retailers in the U.S. and in Europe by year's end. MILLS Acoustics has recently added Sergio Michel to their artist's roster and Sergio will be playing the Company's cabs at the Summer NAMM show in Austin, Texas.
