RE: Thanks. How different are the Emilar horns (really) than 811Bs?
Posted by Joe Roberts on October 2, 2016 at 17:13:32:
Headbang is the best use for the 511s. Good Death Metal horn.
Also possibly great for an outdoor poolside system, which is a kind of job this sort of horn was designed to do.
Try the Emilar. Way more sophisticated sound than the Altec.
I don't like to cross at 500hz, preferring to use cones that can get me to 2 or 3k whenever possible, so I don't break up the heart of the vocal range.
An Altec 15" can't, so maybe 800 or 1200 xover by default.
Also, I sense that many 500hz horns are starting to run out of steam at or near that spec and offer little loading with a 500hz second order crossover. Certainly, the 511 is guilty if the measurements above are to be believed.
