Elevating Audio Experiences with Eminence Speakers in South Africa
Surgesound, a professional audio-visual solutions company, is thrilled to announce its partnership with Eminence Speakers in South Africa, a renowned manufacturer of high-performance loudspeakers. With over two decades of experience in the industry, Surgesound has consistently delivered cutting-edge audio solutions to clients across various market sectors. Now, as the exclusive distributor for Eminence in South Africa, Surgesound is poised to take audio experiences to new heights.
Why Eminence?
Eminence has a rich legacy of producing top-quality loudspeakers that cater to musicians, audio professionals, and enthusiasts alike. Their commitment to innovation, reliability, and exceptional sound quality aligns perfectly with Surgesound’s mission to provide turnkey audio-visual solutions. Whether you’re setting up a professional studio, live event, or home theatre, Eminence loudspeakers deliver unmatched performance.
The company was founded by Bob Gault in 1966 in Kentucky, USA. The Eminence and Henry County community could also provide the labour required to design and assemble high-quality loudspeakers on a large scale. The first Eminence facility, located in downtown Eminence, employed around thirty people. In 1972 Eminence Speaker moved to a new location in Shawnee Industrial Park on Mulberry Pike, where we remain today. Under the leadership of Gault and, more recently, his son, Rob, the company’s capacity grew to as much as 10,000 speakers per day, employing over 240 people by 1997.
Eminence loudspeakers are trusted by musicians, sound engineers, and audiophiles worldwide. Their commitment to craftsmanship, durability, and exceptional sound reproduction makes them the preferred choice for professionals. Now, with Surgesound as the distributor, South African customers can access these outstanding products with ease.
In September 2023, Rob Gault and his family decided to sell Eminence to B&C Speakers, a prominent loudspeaker manufacturer based in Florence, Italy. The B&C Speakers Group focuses on the loudspeaker market. They have firmly committed to investing in modernizing the Kentucky factory and adding vital research and development resources, world-class sourcing, and global distribution connectivity that will benefit Eminence in the years ahead.
