Who can identify this vintage speaker

[ChrisAZ]

Can anyone identify this speaker or is it DIY? It looks manufactured to me. Thanks for any help.

It's got a kind of Jensen Imperial thing goin on, kinda.

The coaxial loudspeaker driver in the picture is an early version of the Electrovoice 12TRXB or 15TRXB -- neither RCA nor British, FWIW.

^ early 15TRXB

^ a borrowed image of of an early EV 12TRXB

^ slightly later 12TRXB (note the difference in the tweeter horn design and the different accordion surround on the woofer's cone), also a borrowed image.

The enclosure looks an itty bitty bit like the classic RCA "refrigerator" monitor enclosure used for the RCA LC-1A (a truly glorious coax driver).

LOL- good catch.

Yes, that's a good- 'ol EV. No doubt.

Jensen i say.

Truly, there isn't much driver opening there. I wonder if the top opens to reveal a mono console of some kind?

There's something about the OP's picture that doesn't seem right. Is it me or does that say "jeep" in the logo before the DIY?

DIY is a relatively new thing in that I don't thing that term was being used back in the late 50's/ early 60's.

Was RCA manufacturing speakers in England?

Hopefully the OP can provide some context of where that picture is from

That is in fact a Jeep logo which makes no sense

It's like a random assortment of clip art...

reminds me of a Leslie organ speaker I saw at the thrifts the other day.

It’s something I ran across on Pinterest. It’s from what looks like a Japanese blog. Here’s another screen shot but I can’t read any of it.

The fine print under the jeep logo/DIY seems to say "The bass loudspeaker forum" but could find no listing.

This seems like a possibility.

Exactly!

What is it about the speaker that peaks your interest?

Weird site, I'm still trying to figure out why there is a Jeep logo
