Nostalgia (PAT.) Hasehiro came out
with antique style backloaded horn speaker at the 11th
Hasehiro listening event in Nihonbashi, Tokyo in Nov
2009. The antique style speaker was distressed backloaded
horn sound.
The material is Merkus
Pine. It is said that Merkus Pine has a nice
acousmato, so it makes dried sound when tapped. The
sound field spreads modestly with tenderness, and the sound
fits comfortably in ear. The lightness did
it.
Merkus Pine is natural wood and that's where its
charm lies. You will feel very sleepy when you listen to
slow ballad from the soft sound with vibrancy
of Merkus Pine. It is the lowly directional
loudspeaker because of resonance of the enclosure
itself, but you can feel hall effect. That's
exactly the Nostalgic Backloaded Horn
Speaker.

The Benefits of
Lightness |
Merkus Pine is
lighter in weight compared to MDF. Weighing about 5.0
kg, if it makes MM-151SKN by Merkus Pine. Incidentally,
MM-151S made by MDF weighs about 8.5 kg. So, the shipping
charge is cheaper than MDF made loudspeakers. You
can get Hasehiro backloaded horn speakers at cheaper prices
if you choose Merkus Pine made loudspeakers. Please
refer to the following table on the comparison example of
the shipping charge. |

Nostalgia is the backloaded horn
system with an exponential curve. Also, it has the lowly
directional hall echo with the warmth and a smell
of natural wood. Please experience Nostalgia
with your five senses, and it gratifies your
senses without a doubt. It will always entertain you
by the changing two colors: the wooden feature and the
sound quality with the time. The growth rings will
provide the warmth of its sound. |
