PrestonTom Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 It is probably not worth the cost. Some of the article is good, much of it is recycled urban myths. I know, I worked with anechoic chambers for over 3 decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom3 Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 I forget that not everyone has Apple privileges. If you can read the article, please do so. There is a picture of some engineers using the chamber in the 1950s. One of the men is Arthur Janszen, who was a pioneer (at least in this country) of electrostatic speakers. There's also an interesting digression about the Guinness Book of World Records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diaphragm, which was beginning to rot, was made of a pig intestine that was covered with fine gold leaf to conduct the audio signal. https://www.martinlogan.com/en/electrostatic-loudspeaker-history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
