The Cathedral Speaker Company Chooses Eminence for its Speaker Drivers

Cathedral Speakers has chosen the American speaker company Eminence of Kentucky as its main supplier of speaker drivers. According to the designer: "this decision came about in order to provide a more robust product that would still perform quality sound in commercial establishments. The Eminence product is already a winner with many pro musicians, so the decision just made the most sense. We sacrificed a little bit of bass at lower volume with the harder woofer, but gained much more in other areas at higher volume, so the trade-off was a no-brainer. We also found the Eminence horn driver to be more civil to the ear, and demonstrated nice texture in the mid range that just brings out string instruments magic. Thanks to some smart folks that attended Capital Audiofest and shared insight, the cabinet design also received several additional internal reinforcements and insulation to minimize stray cabinet resonance."

The Utah woofer will continue to be offered as option. Futher developments may include design of Tractrix horn for the Cathedral product.

The Cathedral Speaker Company Announces Production

Loudoun County, VA USA - April 2, 2010

The Cathedral Speaker Company, a DC area startup, announced production of its first set of speakers serials 1001 and 1002 for the audiophile market. Ryno Woodworks of Potomac Falls, VA, a high-end custom furniture maker, has been contracted to produce the cabinets fashioned after the prototypes designed and built in 2008.

Made of solid wood and cabinet-grade plywood, the speakers are a throw back to a pre-MDF era when Altec Lansing, Klipsch, and JBL were the choice for tube amplification in the infancy of Stereo and Solid State electronics. The prototype speakers have captured the interest of many local audiophiles searching for an efficient full-range speaker that incorporates custom-built furniture grade cabinets and produces life-like sound. The company allows the purchaser to select the wood build of the cabinets. More exotic woods and design finishes ensure these audio instruments are a unique offering and a departure from the standard mini tower design.

The speakers utilize a proven effective transmission line design encompassing 21 cubic feet of internal volume. An Altec Lansing H 811-B horn that was made popular by the Voice of The Theater Altec Lansing product--once the standard for sound reproduction in USA movie houses--is fixed on top in a tripod fashion. This horn reinforces a one inch Selenium Audio titanium compression driver. A single 15-inch, rubberized-cloth surround, paper woofer (manufactured by Utah in the '60s) effortlessly reproduces mid and bass frequencies with the help of a large Alnico magnet. The crossover networks are designed and thoroughly tested for top quality and performance and contain only precision audio components. The result is a speaker that is generous and accurate in bass, has convincing mids and natural highs, and horniness associated with horn speakers is eliminated.

The Cathedral Speaker Company is a unique and USA-made friendly company located in Potomac Falls, VA, where it maintains a studio. Its Internet site is www.cathedralspeakers.com. Cathedral Speakers provide a unique and unusual option to the audiophile and music enthusiast in search of speakers that perform almost-live music in the home without the need for sub woofers or satellite speakers.
