EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of audio equipment from the 1970s - a Cerwin-Vega horn speaker, used as an integral part of DJ setups during that era. The vibrant orange rectangular front of the speaker immediately catches the eye, while its unique design adds to its allure. The concave sides gracefully curve towards the middle, forming a cone shape that exudes both elegance and functionality. A distinguishing feature is the bar in the middle of the speaker's front, dividing it into two chambers. This innovative design enhances sound quality by allowing for better control and dispersion of audio frequencies. Turning our attention to the back, we find a silver-colored surface that tapers into a conical point. This point then splits into two halves which culminate in round open circles. Beyond its technical prowess lies another layer of significance - this photograph represents an important chapter in African American history and culture. As an emblematic object utilized by DJs within African American communities during this period, it symbolizes their contribution to music and artistry. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this heritage art piece serves as a testament to innovation at the intersection of technology and creativity. It stands as a reminder not only of past achievements but also inspires future generations with its timeless appeal.
