In Reply to: RE: EV DH2A 2" horn drivers and HP640 lens? posted by absolve2525 on April 15, 2012 at 10:56:00
I use the Electrovoice HP640 in a two-way configuration. I like them. You are correct that they will need some EQing since they are CD horns (this is true of all CD horns).
I do not have personal experience with that driver (I use JBL 2445 or 2446 drivers). IIRC, the DH1a is the perferred driver
In my setup the HP640's sound great (better than the wider dispersion HP940's).
Good luck with your set up.

Thanks for the replies! What eq do you rely on for top end eq? Has anyone listened and compared the dh2a directly? Im just curious if it had any advantages over the dh1a if it was a newer model I assume. How far will eq get you in the way of top end? I have some supertweeters too I can integrate if I find the top lacking. I picked up the drivers for cheap, so Id like to get them as optimized as possible for a fun home system. I assume the diaphragms are interchangable with Dh1a? I posted a wanted ad for some big horn lenses on craigslist, since I need to find another HP640; an individual replied saying he has a pair or Community pc494 for 75 bucks. I can post a direct link soon - their website is www.communitypro.com Are they something I should persue in the meantime? Thanks again!
It looks like that Community horn wont go down as low as the big EVs, so I'll probably pass on them. I'm also curious about the preference for the 640 over the 940 - what did you like better? Thanks!

Scratch that question about diaphragms - it looks like theyre not interchangable.
