Haut-parleur à voies multiples à la Parisienne

[Edmond Stuart]

I found this 'multi-way' speaker system in a trendy bar in Paris: Café Charbon, 109 Rue Oberkampf.

😱

I wouldn't like to be sitting under that lot if it all came crashing down, 'feel the music' 😀

Reminds me of the wall of speakers I had years ago in my bedroom. They were stacked at the foot of the bed so that even if the door was open no one could see what I was doing. Back then I thought more was better so I salvaged and scavenged till the wall was complete and thought I had the cat by the tail.

Thanks for posting it.

That's very cool. Was it playing while you were there?

Just the ticket for playing "River Deep, Mountain High" ...

Hi Michael,

It was playing very softly and I'm not sure all speakers were operational. I suspect that most of sound (if not all?) came from the black box put at the front of the speaker array, see red arrow.

Cheers, E.

there's a "plug in here" by converse sign above the supposed amplifier.

Hi Frank,

Exactly! Funny you mentioned this song, because in the sixties, Phonogram, the record division of the Philips company, used this song for testing their sound equipment, day in, day out, over and over again. So in the end, not surprisingly, I couldn't stand this song anymore.

Cheers, E.

1. Hipstery, but Very Nice setup.
2. They also have a mini-J configuration to the right of the loudspeaker. I wonder why
3. You made me download "River Deep, Mountain High". Yikes!

Cool, thanks! Probably not connected, but makes a nice display. We once made a wall of TVs like that in Paris. Wow, was it heavy!!
