Hallicrafters R-44 Speaker

Picture of R-44 Speaker

The Hallicrafters R-44 speaker offers for the first time in a professional style cabinet the advantages of an oval speaker.  The large oval size (6 x 9 inches) plus ample baffling give excellent low frequency response.  The speaker was especially designed as a matching unit to the SX-43, but it may also be used with the SX-25, SX-28 and SX-42.  A two position switch on the front panel offers communications or high fidelity reception.  The terminals on the rear are for 500 ohm line. The R-44 speaker has a gray steel cabinet and is 18 1/2 inches wide, 8 1/2 inches high and 9 5/8 inches deep .  It sold for $19.50 - $24.50 and was manufactured from 1947-1950.

The Hallicrafters R-44B speaker has a satin black steel cabinet and light colored grill.  It was made as a matching speaker for the earlier version of the SX-71, the one with the white dials.  It appears to be the same speaker as the R-44 except for the paint and grill.  It sold in 1950 for $24.50.  It looks like the R-44B speaker was manufactured from 1949 - 1950.
