D-MAN Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I would guess somewhere from the '30's. DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 What a beautiful piece of audio history! I'll bet it sounded beyond decent for its time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v3spitfire Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 could something like this, with the right driver and amp, be turned into a subwoofer with very high output? Or, is the cabinet design/build of something of this vinage not conducive to what a sub would require? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The throat is far too narrow, for one thing. Bruce Edgar's Titan shows what a deep-diving bass horn looks like. This old-timer probably cuts off at 100 Hz or so. The cabinet and the way the horn is installed within does not look well braced enough for serious bass. That having been said, when connected to a early radio set, the volume and clairty would have been impressive, especially compared with headphones or the various gooseneck table top horns of the day.
