"World's Largest" Subwoofer

[Clint DeBoer]

This is an oldie, but goodie. Royal Device, a self-proclaimed esoteric audio/video company built (apparently): "The Biggest SUBWOOFER of the WORLD, for the most esoteric Audio and AUDIO-VIDEO Room of the World. The Highest efficiency ever obtained with NO distortion using NO feedback tube low power amplifiers and NO crossover on the speakers"

The subwoofer is a horn design, featuring dual 9.5 meter horns driven by eight 18" drivers each. It has a claimed frequency response of 10Hz at full power. With an efficiency of more than 110 dB at 1W/1meter the system operates at 6400 Wrms total.

While an interesting read, I can't help but point out the apparently simulated video on the projection screen (notice the different offset positioning in the first two photos, the ridiculously high brightness levels at room lighting, the lack of yellow on the picture even though a bright yellow lamp is shining down on the screen and the poorly scaled jaggies on the bottom. No mention is made of the equipment or techniques used to ascertain the "NO distortion" claim - but we can say the following with absolute certainty: It is very, very BIG.

The Italian said,"I made love to my wife three times last night, and when she woke this morning she said, I was the best lover in the world!"

The Frenchman said,"I made love to my wife four times last night, and she brought me breakfast in bed and said she could never love another man the way she loves me!"

The American said,"I only made love to my wife once last night, and this morning she said, please don't stop!"

zumbo : The Italian said,"I made love to my wife three times last night, and when she woke this morning she said, I was the best lover in the world!" The Frenchman said,"I made love to my wife four times last night, and she brought me breakfast in bed and said she could never love another man the way she loves me!" The American said,"I only made love to my wife once last night, and this morning she said, please don't stop!" * I remember reading about Luciano Pavarotti saying something about making love to a televison in an interview. Only a true Italian would make such a remark!
