UA item #5 -SOLD- Four (4) Vintage Altec 814A Cardoid speaker cabinets

$100.00

(4) Altec 814A speaker cabinets. (THE 15" SPEAKERS ARE NOT INCLUDED -THEY ARE LONG GONE). The Altec 1975 catalog says "The 814A is a directional low-frequency loud-speaker design designed to overcome the problems associated with a too-broad dispersion pattern in reverberant atmospheres. Low frequency energy is difficult and tends to fan out much more than energy in the mid and high frequencies... The 814A solves this problem by tightly controlling the horizontal and vertical dispersion in the low frequencies and the vertical is achieved by stacking multiple 814A elements to narrow the distribution pattern. They are 20"W x 20"H x 12"D." The cabinets weigh under 25 lbs each (with out the speaker which are not included)

The boxes were painted brown to match the church decor when originally installed in the 50's or 60's. The paint is off where the mounting brackets had once been. These cabinets were stacked vertically.

Load them with your favorite 15" and stack 2 by 2 or 1 vertical array. Great for Home theatre, Movie theatres, sound reinforcment, etc.

We removed these speakers from a church in the 80's. They have sat in our warehouse for many years undisturbed. We're cleaning out the warehouse and they need another home.
