The Legendary Western Electric 15A – The Mother of All Horns

Connoisseurs know exactly what the Western Electric 15A represents: the origin of modern horn technology. Developed by Western Electric engineers in the 1920s, this horn is a true legend. Original units are virtually impossible to find on the market today, and when they do surface, they are typically in poor condition. Nevertheless, these rarities command prices of around $80,000.
 
Back in its prime, the 15A was used behind cinema screens in American movie theaters, marking the dawn of a new era—the era of sound in film. With an impressive cut-off frequency of 51 Hz and a horn length of 438 centimeters, the 15A can easily be deployed from 80/100 Hz upward. To this day, its sound quality remains unrivaled, making it our ultimate reference model.
