Andia ‘Pip, Squeak & Wilfred’ Magic Speaker

"Pip, Squeak and Wilfred was a British strip cartoon published in the Daily Mirror from 1919 to 1956. It concerned the adventures of an orphaned family of animals.

Pip, who assumed the father role, was a dog, whilst the ‘mother’, Squeak, was a penguin. Wilfred was the ‘young son’ and was a rabbit with very long ears." (Wikipedia)

Andia "Magic" Loudspeaker

The time has come when an ugly form of loudspeaker is no longer tolerated. In its place, we have many artistic designs which tend to harmonise to a greater extent with the furniture of a room.

  We recently tested the Andia "Magic" loudspeaker, made by Artandia, Ltd., which has an original and striking appearance.

The actual speaker consists of an electromagnetic unit attached to a small tapering tube, which projects onto the wall of a comparatively large chamber: the sound is deflected towards the base of the instrument and ultimately escapes after reflection from the article on which the speaker is mounted.

The outer appearance of the instrument does not suggest that of a loudspeaker, as it simply takes the form of an ornamental design. Various designs are possible, the sample submitted being a model of three well-known children's pets.

The figures are faithful and recognisable representations and will therefore appeal particularly to the children, while the colouring is good.

An amusing effect is obtained when speech or music emanates from the group. The sound is reproduced quite well, with reasonable sensitivity, although a slightly muffled effect is obtained on speech.

Here you find 7 models, 6 with images and 0 with schematics for wireless sets etc. In French: TSF for Télégraphie sans fil.
