The Talking Machine World, New York,, June, 1928 a52S22SSSS5257' TEMPI. Announcing the New TEMPLE SPEAKERS Pats. Pend. Mode] 15 Air Column NEW IN PERFORMANCE WM. U, S. Pats. Pend. Licensed under Whitmore Inventions Model 20 Air Chrome NEW IN PRINCIPLE See the new Temple Speakers at the R.M.A. Show, Space 108 — also in Room 457, Stevens Hotel. The New Air Column TRUE realism in speaker reproduction, for which Temple Air Columns are justly famous, has taken another step forward — Model 15 is ready. Another year of development has culminated in an offering that shows a marked improvement — from a performance standpoint, from a manufacturing standpoint and from a sales standpoint. Temple Model 15 is the new improved and longer exponential air column — the same mathematically correct and properly designed type of speaker which made the name Temple famous. It is lighter in weight and smaller, yet at the same time the improvements in its tone are the most important of all. Advanced manufacturing facilities have made all these things possible and we find in this new model a tonal beauty, a natural reproduction of the actual broadcast, a response to all frequencies, and a handling capacity that is really a revelation in speaker construction— all with volume to spare. From the standpoint of appearance Model 1 5 will impress everyone with its rich and pleasing beauty — truly a masterpiece of harmony in its artistic and dignified lines. Even the most critical will take their hats off to it. It is encased in genuine walnut with sides of the same color in beautifully grained leather effect. Model 15 is even better than that — you'll have to hear and see it to appreciate it. The New Air Chrome ONCE again Temple steps to the center of the stage with a new offering to the radio industry— the new Model 20 Air Chrome Speaker. Its entry promises to be just as sensational as that of the famous Temple Air Column when it was first announced, and its bow to the public will receive the same enthusiastic approval. Coupling as it does the latest and most advanced principles of reproducer design with an unequalled engineering and manufacturing experience this new model promises unheard of sales possibilities and will be in great demand especially among the class that is satisfied only with the finest in tone reproducers. Model 20 is of the open radiator type with a large surface diaphragm. The balanced tension principle of its construction however, lifts it bodily out of the class of cone type speakers. In Air Chrome construction the larger, or front half of the diaphragm is tuned to the lower frequencies while the smaller, or back half is tuned to the higher frequencies. Each and every tone reproduced may be said to be individually distinctive, its frequency range is from lowest bass to the highest treble, all with a degree of naturalness that is as startling as it is pleasing. Of refined beauty, its design adapts itself with harmony into the surroundings of the most fastidious — its genuine walnut frame together with the leather effect of its sides give it an eye appeal most pleasing, to say the least.
