This corner horn design rings a bell - but where? What is it?

David Pinnegar · 02:13 AM

Hi!

I saw and heard a pair of these today:

Very interesting small corner speaker. I recognise the design from somewhere - is anyone familiar with it?

Half the speaker fires down a triangular tube onto a horn shaped reflector and the corners of the tube are bent forward and upwards to extend the horn. The other half fires into a slotted chamber.

Best wishes

Weird...

Did you see what kind of driver is in there? It seems like it is pointing down, so that the corner horn is a wide range fronthorn. The rear would be in sort of a reflex chamber. That sounds quite similar to a Voigt corner horn, but the layout doesn't resemble the schematic drawings that I have seen of it. Could it be DIY? And how did it sound? Bet the midrange was BIG.

Take a look here, see if something looks similar.
