Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
In a concrete resonant cone speaker system, the combination of a wood base for placement upon the floor of a room, and a vertically upstanding concrete truncated cone placed upon said wood base, said wood base containing a speaker in alignment with a lower end of said concrete truncated cone for moving sound waves upwardly through said concrete truncated cone so as to give a false depth to a room without an espensive reverberation unit and delay system, wherein said concrete truncated cone comprises a one piece member made of concrete drainage tile, said concrete truncated cone consisting of a conical side wall around a central opening extending there through, said concrete truncated cone supported upon said wood base being tapered upwardly toward a smaller end at its top, and wherein said wood base consists of a circular bottom piece, an intermediate ring in spaced relation above said bottom piece and a top ring in spaced relation above said intermediate ring, said rings and bottom piece having a plurality of support separators there between, and said speaker being secured to an under side of said top ring.
