Though Speaker cabinet is one of the simplest piece of gear but if not carefully designed, it can dramatically affect your sound signature… obviously! Contrary to popular belief A speaker cabinet has essentially 3 parts (many believe it has just 2…):

1. The Speaker Driver
   • To a great extent the Choice & Preference of speaker driver varies from person to person. InsigniaHiFi recommends a driver which can handle is at least 25% more power than the max output of Custom 50 or Deluxe 15 or any other amp.
   • To our ears drivers which do not accentuate mids sounds best with Custom 50 & Deluxe 15. 12″ ceramic drivers Experientially have yielded best tones. This also resonates with the Flether Munson’s research… read here
2. The Cabinet
   • The cabinet is carefully designed to stay as neutral as possible & eliminate boominess.
   • All of our designs are based on open-back topology.
   • The construction material is plywood typically 18mm thickness. This is an obvious choice given the composite nature & relatively very less natural resonance.
3. The Cabinet Covering
   • This is one aspect which many overlook and compromise with while designing a cabinet. Often economical factors are given too much of a preference. The cabinet cover which looks and sound too innocent as far as tonality is concerned but the reality is exactly opposite.
   • A good cabinet with proper backing fabric helps dampen the standing waves significantly and maintains the integrity of the sound from the driver by not letting the cabinet wood colour it.
   • InsigniaHiFi uses hand-selected covering materials (leatherette) to finish the cabinets

How does it sound???…

One line to explain… Like a bell!
