Jean Michel Le Cléac’h Spherical Wave Horn 100-500mm Diameter

Even the sight of a spherical wave horn fascinates people who normally have little to do with HiFi. But the enthusiasm for such horn systems goes well beyond their impressive looks. The decisive advantage is acoustic: their high efficiency — the basis for dynamic, low-distortion music reproduction without compression.

Horn loudspeakers following the Jean-Michel Le Cléac’h (JMLC) principle have a special geometry where the contour extends beyond the rim further backwards. This design substantially reduces edge reflections, ensures a uniform dispersion pattern, and contributes to a very linear frequency response and high efficiency across a wide range.
