The
Magnavox company is responsible for the sounds we hear today from our
auto radio to our TV set and every other audio device we listen to
today. Magnavox invented and patented the
Voice Coil
that is used in all conventional audio speakers. They did this around
1917! Their speakers made in the early days of
radio (when
all other speakers were nothing more than an
earphone
mounted on the base of a
horn)
actually had a voice coil driven diaphragm attached to the base of a
horn. This gave their speakers much more power and superior sound
quality.
The
horn speaker pictured here is one of their best and next to their
largest. It measures 18" in diameter at the
bell.
