Silence Please recently partnered with Adidas Originals to create a 10-foot custom speaker installation for their Spring Street flagship.
The horn alone is almost 5 ft across at the mouth and a little over 2.5 ft deep. Inside it is a 12” coaxial driver, so the midrange and high frequencies come from the same horn and stay on the same acoustic axis.
The profile was designed around roughly 140 Hz horn geometry. In horn design, that number matters because low frequency is physical — the lower you want a horn to load, the larger the mouth and path length need to become.
Behind the horn is a sealed bass section with two 21” drivers, bringing the full assembly to almost 10 ft tall once the horn, cabinet, and mounting structure come together.
The real challenge was not just making a large speaker. It was fitting the largest working horn-loaded system Silence Please could make fit into a pre-existing architectural opening and it all had to sound amazing!
Now permanently installed at adidas Originals 1135 Spring Street. Pass by for a listen.
