The Zirke box is based on the construction of the "Walsh" driver (the most famous speaker was the OHM F). This is a bending wave converter. In contrast to "normal" loudspeaker chassis, the otherwise undesirable partial vibrations of the loudspeaker chassis are used here for sound generation. Impressive sound behavior with small combos, vibraphone, triangle and percussion. Critical of opera singing (tremolos). Here, the "distorted" overtones, which can also be heard on conventional loudspeakers, are supernaturally strongly emphasized. Due to the spatial emission of the sound, the loudness at a higher volume can be described as pleasant (recommended for noise-sensitive neighbors).
