According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these
permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To
ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high
sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all
persons exposed to equipment capable of producing
high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors
while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or
protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be
worn when operating this amplification system in order
to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in
excess of the limits set forth above.

Since 1992 the Epifani design team has been
working very closely with many of the worldʼs
leading bassists, developing what are regarded
as some of todayʼs finest and most rewarding
bass amplification systems. We are dedicated to
research and development, constantly evolving
innovating, and hopefully, inspiring in the
process.

All Epifani products are designed to meet the
needs of the working & traveling musician.
Portability, tone, weight, and size do matter. We
focus on real-world needs, and strive to deliver
practical products that embody superior form
and peerless function. When we design we
evaluate every aspect of the project: size, wood
type, construction techniques, cabinet tuning,
speaker quality, electronic components, weight,
versatility etc., but the most important element is
the musicality of the finished product. The
defining moment for us is when our customers

experience music without thinking or worrying
about their gear - they just play.

Epifunky loudspeakers are the result of a three-
year engineering endeavor. The drivers,
crossover and cabinet have all been designed to
achieve not only a cost-effective solution, but
exceptional sound. The cabinet is constructed
with Dado Joints, Void-free Plywood, heavy
Tolex, high-impact metal corners and a rugged
18-gauge steel grill, EpiFunky loudspeakers are
visually elegant and sturdy enough for the rigors
of the most demanding road-trips.
