In Development since 1922Professor Sub W. Ooffer graduated from Oxford University in 1922. In 1924, two General Electric researchers, Chester W. Rice and Edward Washburn Kellogg patented the modern, moving coil, direct radiator, loudspeaker, which became the major design for all loudspeakers. Professor Ooffer then started work with Rice and Kellogg as he was fascinated with experimenting with the amount of volume he could extract from the loud speakers. In 1939 the professor and his son Dr Ooffer were drafted into the services of the British Armed Forces. They were stationed in the South East of England installing air raid sirens across airbases. The speakers that the Ooffers had manufactured to use for the job where so loud that upon testing the first installation, the deep base and huge volume sent sound waves smashing across the airbase leveling a row a barracks. Those in command at the base realised immediately that they had stumbled upon a potent weapon of mass destruction. The duo were moved to a bunker somewhere deep in the Scottish Highlands to protect and continue with their invention. During heavy bombardment one night the top side facility was completely destroyed, but leaving the Ooffers underground research facility intact. They continued with their work for many years completely self sufficient able to weather a nuclear winter. After the loss of his father Dr Ooffer decided to surface from the bunker. To his shock he had been underground for 68 years. Now an old man he decided that although he had spent much of his life in solitude, he had protected his invention and developed the greatest range of audio equipment the world had ever seen. Ladies and gentlemen, after nearly 70 years in the making the year 2007 sees the birth of "Sound Surgeon"! |
