In Reply to: RE: Renkus Hinez or Yorkville Unity Horn or other? posted by Gera on July 19, 2008 at 22:00:29
Yorkville is considered bang for the buck in pro audio. It is a step up from Peavey to many. The Unity is probably the coolest horn that they have. It was designed by Tom Danley who posts here. Yorkville is a good company with a good warranty, Renkus is good as well. They are more highly regarded and have more installs and major tours to their credit.
My concerns would be the room being too small for horns, combing as a result of the speakers being too close together and/or the room boundaries, and having to listen to horns in close proximity. Horn loaded mids can sound unnatural in the near-field. Compression drivers can sound harsh and fatiguing IMO.

Harecording,
this is a basement DJ setup that I'm working on. And i'm trying to squeeze the best sound out of my basement space that is possible on a reasonable budget.
So far I have a pair of 18" dipolar subs, 10" mids on open baffles and Altec 811b horns for tweeters. I also tried 8" Fostex drivers in sealed cabinets for mid/highs.

The listening/dancing area is 7 to 14 feet from the speakers. Will the Unity horns sound good in this environment? If not what is the solution 100 Hz and up?
Thanks,
Herman
Ahhh. DJ. You have your own club down there? Cool. In that case, you have a whole bunch of options. Unity's w/flypoints would not let you down.
Yeah,
a little bit of a setup down there.... Me and my friends, we sometimes mix records.
But to the point:
Thanks for your help, first of all. You mentioned I have a "whole bunch of options". Are there other options I should check out before buying a pair of Unity horns. I was thinking of getting just the UNITY horns with drivers (about $900) and using my own subs and mid horns. Or should I get the entire U15 speakers?
Thanks,
Herman

Is that a Yorkville option to buy the horn with drivers for $900? I haven't seen that on their web site.
I would get the whole system. Are you using DSP to crossover, time align, etc?
