What are the Giant Voice drivers?

290E most likely...100 watt RMS phenolic, good midrange unit.
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
Did anybody here get these? $365 seems like a okay deal to me.

Those look sweet. I love the 'Speed Rails' (?) enclosures. Looks like something i'd build myself. Not sure what Giant Voice meant, but they appear to have the weatherproofing covers on them (showing that text).
The deep rear covers housed line xfmrs.
Giant Voice was Altec's name for outdoor emergency warning type systems of the 50's & 60's (and maybe later). Primarily consisted of 290s & 300Hz horns, and small shacks stuffed with mega Altec green gear.
Unless they had to pay big for shipping, someone got a steal there.![]()

Yeah, the sheer numbers are a bit staggering. The Giant Voice installation for Vandenberg AFB spec'd;
364 -290s
182 -1003 horns w/y-throats and 45 deg adapters
182 -1570 amps
and a WHOLE bunch more..., 128Bs, compressors, pre's, battery banks, Watchguards, SEQURs, mics, switching, etc...![]()
