Questions about EBS

Where are EBS instruments and amplifiers manufactured?

While design and engineering are based in Sweden, EBS utilizes manufacturing partners in China to maintain competitive pricing, with rigorous quality control throughout the production process.

Are EBS amplifiers truly 'solid-state' or do they incorporate tubes?

EBS primarily focuses on solid-state amplification, known for its reliability and consistent performance. While they have some hybrid designs, their core product line is distinctly solid-state.
