Lantern Illuminator – Horn-Driven Impact. Dual-Driver Force.
Wideband Authority. Seamless Coherence. Bold Execution.

The Lantern Illuminator is the most dynamic speaker in our lineup — a statement piece engineered around the Beyma CD11Nd compression driver and dual Mark Audio Alpair 12P extended-range Japanese derived paper drivers.

It offers the immediacy and resolution of a great horn system with the warmth and tone of wideband paper cones - delivering scale, transient snap, and midrange continuity in a package that feels effortless. The Horn X2-style crossover ensures a clean transition at 2kHz, and the built-in L-pad allows precise control of high-frequency balance.
