Lantern Illuminator Speaker (pair)
Lantern Illuminator — The Foundation of Scale
Dual-Woofer Authority | Paper-Driver Soul Built to order. Current lead time: 6–8 weeks.
The Lantern Illuminator is the definitive architectural expansion of the Lantern platform. Built upon a 2.5-way internal driver arrangement, this system utilizes dual Alpair 12P paper drivers to deliver a larger scale and deeper bass authority without compromising the organic tone of the 12P.
Architectural Stability
The internal stability of the cabinet is forged from ¾″ Baltic Birch, using mechanical rabbet-joint joinery to resist racking and resonance. At the apex of this structure sits the B&C ME45 horn, paired with a Beyma CD11Nd compression driver for uncompromising clarity and detail retrieval.
Preserved Internal Integrity
To preserve the internal integrity of the crossover, we have designed an external voicing interface. A top-mounted resistor socket allows you to fine-tune the horn output level relative to your room’s acoustics, ensuring the internal electronics remain sealed and undisturbed by manual access.
