The Lantern
Sculpted from Baltic birch and rosewood, the Lantern is built with the same intent as a fine instrument — every surface, every contour, defined by purpose.
Its natural grain catches the light with quiet confidence, while the elliptical horn above commands attention through precision and control.
This isn’t furniture. It’s performance made visible — where form and function meet to reveal the structure of music itself.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.

- Cabinet: ¾" Baltic birch plywood with a ¼" solid Arizona rosewood front panel (no veneer, no shortcuts).
