![[The Talking Machine Forum - For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings]](/styles/we_universal/theme/images/the_talking_machine_forum.png)
This exhibit is erected just outside the science museum in Hong Kong. It's part of a multi-cultural exhibition
It's a huge metal horn fitted with hidden speakers. The opening is fitted with a microphone so you can sing along with pre-recorded songs. There are 5 songs in rotation and each is in a different language.
The horn faces a huge street opening and can be heard way down it. Would not want to live there but I was gobsmacked.

Re: Not exponential but what a size
It would be interesting to see what would happen if you parked an outside horn machine with a large horn in front of that...

Would be interesting to make an adapter at the small end and hook it to a cylinder recorder, and see what it would pick up.

Re: Not exponential but what a size
I wonder how loud it would be if you hooked it to an Auxetophone. I bet it would be pretty loud.
