  • Remarques
  • The Rola Cone Re-Creator loudspeaker (1926) addressed critical challenges in early audio engineering through innovative design. 

    Core Design Innovations

    • Piston-Like Operation: Unlike earlier cone designs, it mimicked a piston by pushing air columns rather than relying solely on vibrations, enhancing acoustic efficiency.
    • Leather Suspension: Replaced rubber with thin leather for cone-edge attachment, improving durability across climates while maintaining flexibility for unrestricted motion (up to ¼ inch travel).
    • Integrated Baffle System: Featured a large wooden ring to prevent rear soundwave interference, acting as both a sounding board and a baffle to minimize acoustic distortion.

    Developed during the transition from horn to cone speakers, the Re-Creator exemplified Rola’s focus on refining electromagnetic designs. Its detachable cone-and-unit assembly allowed integration into custom cabinets, reflecting evolving consumer audio preferences. The 1926 model also predated field-coil advancements (introduced ~1928), marking it as a transitional product in loudspeaker evolution.

    The Rola Cone Re-Creator was popular in the United States and exported worldwide, including to Australia. Rola's global reach was facilitated by its expansion into international markets.
