  • Notes
  • Lowther-Hegeman cabinet with PM4 Drive Unit.

    This speaker resulted from a collaboration between the American Stuart Hegeman and Donald Chave of Lowther.

    It incorporated the PM4 drive unit fitted inside a large horizontal plaster horn, giving an amazingly wide dispersion of mid and treble frequencies.

    At the time it was 3 times the price of the Lowther Voigt domestic corner horn.

    It stood 50” high including legs and weighed 260 pounds approximately.
