Horn loudspeaker

From about 1888 to 1925, a horn was used to concentrate sound waves in the process of recording onto Edison cylinders, and another horn was used to amplify the recordings during playback.

Subsequent to Keele's work and using his principles, Clifford A. Henricksen and Mark S. Ureda of Altec designed a strikingly different hybrid horn displaying constant directivity traits, the horizontal diffraction or "Mantaray" horn.
