Wente's Bass Horn Information


WMcD

Recommended Posts

Please recall the publication titled "Symposium on Auditory Perspective" which is contained in the Klipsch Papers.  It describes the project of wire transmission of music between two halls and, of course, reproduction of the music, in 1933. 

 

The bass horn used on stage is shown in a photograph and described in technical terms in the publication.  PWK sometimes cited to this.

 

Just recently I ran across the U.S. Patent which describes the physical structure of the bass horn, or at least a very close alternate version of it (the one in the patent can be split, I don't know about the one in the photograph).  The patent and two pages of the Symposium is attached.

 

Enjoy,
