AR-1
In 1954, Acoustic Research introduced the small AR-1 bookshelf loudspeaker that used the acoustic suspension principle developed by the company co-founders.
The acoustic-suspension woofer (or “air suspension” woofer) uses the elastic cushion of air within a sealed enclosure to provide the restoring force for the woofer diaphragm.
This principle revolutionised the loudspeaker industry in the late fifties because it provides a way to design a small speaker system (instead the refrigerator sized cabinets previously used to get halfway decent bass) with effective and more linear low frequency response.
It will results very clean reproduction of deep-bass tones by drivers with relatively small cones (e.g. smaller than 12-16 inches in diameter) not mounted in a horn or other increased coupling at low frequencies enclosure.
The acoustic suspension enclosure has one disadvantage: it is less efficient as the conventional and more large speakers (which in the fifties were driven by 10-20 watts tube amplifiers).
Instead of 10 or 20 Watts, this new loudspeakers needed a more powerful amplifier.
The Model AR-1 was showed in September, 1954, at New York Audio Fair. The 12” woofer, designed and built by AR was coupled initially with 8” high frequencies driver produced by Altec and based on Western Electric design,. Both units were in a sealed 3/4-inch thick plywood cabinet filled with fiberglass. Lately the high frequencies driver was replaced by one cone driver for mid-high frequencies.
