From the external appearance of this Temple speaker it's difficult to
tell the weather it's a horn or a cone speaker but when the front cover
is removed, the fact that it is a cone speaker is reveled. The
case is made of metal and painted dark green with the front and back
edges highlighted in dark olive green. The silk cloth is
stretched over a screen domed mesh which fits tightly into the front
detachable rim. The base is made in walnut and is attached to the
speaker drum by a single large screw. The internal cone is made
of a hard plaster that was filled in and shaped coil fashion in order
to provide good reproduction. The speaker is driven by a Utah
speaker driver unit.
When I acquired this speaker, I had to rebalance the
armature in the driver unit in order for it to work
properly. The sound quality is very close to that of a cone
speaker. I acquired this speaker, in 2007, at the Strawtown
Auction & Flea Market in Strawtown, Indiana.
