Sculpted from solid baltic birch and rosewood and crowned with a commanding horn, the Lantern speaks before it ever plays a note.
Its naturally figured front baffle glows with organic intensity, while the elliptical horn above suggests precision, scale, and control.
This is not furniture. This is function - elevated.
Every contrast between grain and matte black speaks to its singular purpose:
to reveal music’s inner architecture with force and finesse.
Lantern – Focused Clarity. Horn-Driven Emotion.
Wideband Impact. Horn Precision. Timeless Execution.
The Lantern is our definitive single-woofer horn loudspeaker — a bold alternative to the Crane, trading the shimmer of an AMT for the commanding presence of a finely engineered compression driver and waveguide.
At its core is the revered Mark Audio Alpair 12P, delivering natural midrange and rich low-end detail. But from 2kHz upward, the Beyma CD11Nd horn takes control - a modern, low-distortion driver paired to a custom elliptical horn for constant directivity and effortless dynamics.
Where many horns shout or smear, the Lantern remains composed, spatially vivid, and dynamically alive. It’s not just louder - it’s more truthful.
🎯 What Makes the Lantern Special:
- Beyma CD11Nd horn driver: Fast, focused, and naturally balanced - without the edge or glare common to lesser compression drivers.
- Clean handoff from extended-range woofer: The Alpair 12P handles the critical midband with grace, allowing the horn to take over exactly where it excels.
- Built-in passive crossover: Custom Horn X2-style topology, tweaked specifically for Alpair 12P integration, with an adjustable L-pad for precise HF tuning.
- Dynamic immediacy without fatigue: Enjoy startling realism and scale - with the coherence and tone of a minimalist 2-way.
