:idea: does anybody try to use a (new) toilet ceramic as a horn for mids.
I can imagine a good 4" mid speaker fitted to the drain....
Maybe sound fine.....

such a "waste".

nice E145s, and mid-horns pointed 30deg to
the ceiling.

Maybe if you turned them on their sides and
swapped out the bullets. :p

Any one know where I can get a pair of Everest horns?

[4313B]

Unfortunately, you'll probably have to take them out of someone's Everests.

[Maron Horonzakz]

That horn also appeard in a system called Defined coverage loudspeaker system 4660. And used with a 2425 hf & a 2425 woofer.

[4313B]

Yeah, but last time I checked both Home and Pro were all out of them.

Maron,

2346 Defined Coverage horn, as noted, was
used in the obsolete 4660/4660A. (A suffix gets
you 2426J and 2226HPL drivers). Sometimes
you can find them used (usually having seen church duty) at sound reinforcement companies.
Note the weight if you find some and need 'em
shipped.

Thanks to the forum, I now have an idea of what this is. I have been looking at this odd device hanging from an atrium at the University of Houston, Clear Lake campus, for over fifteen years. But, since they have a 2445? on a 2380 (old style) horn, what do you suppose they have connected to the strange bidet-like horn? Incidentally, the 2380 is set back about a foot and I would think would be blocked by the main enclosure front edge. The system is arranged to cover the area below and to the front of the unit. The enclosure has a JBL logo on the grill cloth.

BTW, they have a couple Altec VOTT types on the main floor at a stage level.

It's the jbl 4660 enclosure.

And, Herve, I guess it has a 2425 or 2426 attached inside to the 2346 horn. The atrium has three levels so, I guess, the 2445/2380 is aiming for the upper regions where the enclosure woofer is aimed, while the 2425 points downward to the lowest areas. Starting to make sense. Thanks.

The 'strange' 2346 horn likely has a 2425J
(1" compression driver) connected to it...as
described earlier in this thread. There's also a
15" driver behind the grille cloth (likely a 2225H). This is what a 4660 is.

The horn/driver added to the top of the 4660
was likely added to provide additional rear
venue coverage...appears they already tried
raising the front of the 4660 in an attempt to
do this and found their application exceeded
the capabilities of the device (4660).

I don't know for the addition of the 2445/2380. 4660 A a beach of frequency of 40hz to 15 Khz with -10dB and 80 to 12 Khz with -4db. , I suppose that the 2445/2380 were added for a problem of use related to the room, or for high frequency extension.
