Tau Decades-Old Horn Speakers Tseem Suab Zoo?
Dab tsi yog hloov ntau tshaj plaws nyob rau hauv lub tshuab tiv thaiv 50 xyoo dhau los? Tseeb, peb tau hloov ntawm cov chaw analog zoo li cov ntaub ntawv thiab cov ntaub ntawv rau digital cov cuab yeej xws li cov computers thiab smartphones, tab sis qhov kev hloov pauv feem ntau yog nyob rau hauv cov neeg hais lus. Cov neeg laus laus tau los ua kom tau qhov feem ntau ntawm cov neeg ua haujlwm qis qis zog ntawm lub suab thaum ntxov. Uas feem ntau tau txhais hais tias lawv siv tshuab raj kom tau cov txiaj ntsig zoo tshaj plaws ntawm tus tsav tsheb.
Kuv tau hnov ntau horn tham ntawm hi-fi qhia thiab kuaj ob peb ua qauv ntawm Klipsch, JBL thiab Avantgarde Acoustic kuv tus kheej, tab sis kuv twb tsis tshua muaj sij hawm muab ntev mloog mus rau ib qho ntawm cov vintage horn tham tau tag nrho cov khoom pib.
Thaum kuv mus xyuas vintage suab tus neeg tshiab nyob hauv Vancouver, British Columbia, kuv pom ob peb Giant Altec Lansing horn tham sab nrauv, txhua tus sawv li 4 feet siab thiab 3 ko taw dav, nrog ib qho kev sib txawv ntawm lub plhaub taum plab perched. Kuv nug tus tsim founder Gordon Sauck yog tias kuv tuaj yeem muab rau lawv mloog. Qhov zoo ces, nws cia li npaj txhij rau nqe rau lub khw muag khoom Garage Muag txhua txhua xyoo, yog li kuv hnov lawv tsav los ntawm 20-watt-ib-Channel Dared tube amp - ntau tshaj qhov muaj zog txaus siab rau cov neeg hais lus siab.
Feem ntau, kuv xav tias siv cov neeg sib tham vintage yog ib qhov kev txiav txim siab vim hais tias kev qhia science tau hloov ntau heev txij thaum xyoo 1970 los. Tab sis lub Altecs sounded, rau kuv pob ntseg, shockingly niaj hnub. Muaj tsis zoo li yuav muaj ntau ntau lub zog nyob rau sab saum toj octave ntawm treble, tab sis txhua yam hauv qab no uas tau txais remarkably uncolored thiab ntuj. Qhov no yog qhov tseem ceeb vim hais tias qhov kev sib tw tsawg zaus ntawm lub horn no yuav ua rau kev hla mus rau lub woofer yuav tsum tau xa mus rau 500 Hz los yog li, qhov twg cov articacts sonicacts yuav tsis pom dua li lawv nyob ntawm qhov chaw woofer / tweeter crossover ntawm txog 2.5 mus rau 3 kHz.
Tom qab ntawd, peb muaj kev sibtham txog cov neeg hais lus thiab cov neeg coob coob siv cov qauv tsim nyob ze rau hauv lawv lub tsev. Mus saib peb cov kev sib tham nyob rau phab tom ntej no.
