I have never seen him or any of them over here. I have met Ivan but don’t know him at all. Doug however is an age old friend of mine.
I am glad you are here. You have lots of interesting stuff.
Barry.
If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.
Found another Altec smaller size Vari-intense speaker in my papers. Cab looks similar to EV's S 200 LF unit. However, the Altec version is both Duplex and Vari-intense CD horn.
A couple of Altec Duplex ceiling speakers are also shown.
Finally, a pic of Altec's 4024A DSP. That processor was designed with Duplex Loudspeaker Systems in mind.
The processor, as well as the DTS-200 shown here, announce for an upcoming post, a whole bunch of Altec DTS Series, Duplex or not, sound reinforcement speakers. Those may be their last SR lineup offering before Altec disappeared forever... Some could be in the Altec Library here (e.g. 9864, 9894), while others are not.

Thanks for the welcome, Barry. I've never met Professor Jones, but have read a great many of his articles and dealer communications. He must be a real kick to be around!
Most of my interactions with Danley have been through Mike Hedden, Joel Moak, and seeing Ivan and Tom post on the SAC (Syn-Aud-Con) forum. Following some of those discussions is the proverbial drink from the Stanley Spadowski firehose!

While on Altec Lansing subject I take the opportunity to show other SR systems from their DTS Series, like the DTS-200 shown in my previous post. They're not necessarily Vari-intense loaded, and don't seem to hear much about them in LH Forum.
1rst pic Altec ad in Systems Contractor News Magazine with some indications of target market
2nd & 3rd pics from the DTS Series Brochure
4th pic is the clearest one I have showing inside the bass horn up to Duplex woofer
Others on the way...

This time the 9864A/9894A. These being sort of "flagship" models in the series
They're pretty much the same except for HF horn coverage pattern
Note the use of versions of Altec's 515 and 299 drivers at bottom left of spec sheet
Also the bass horn with reflex porting extends LF to 50hz not really lower than that. As seen inside spec sheet the low range response shape is similar to say JBL 2220 in 4550 or 4560 boxes
Others coming...

DTS Spec Sheets on-hand for the larger systems
Then Data sheets I have for the smaller ones
Note on third pic the Petal-shaped horn on the DTS-99
One more pic to come

Picture of the 1995 full-line Altec Lansing catalog I have. Could be the last one Altec made as far as I know. Seen in the Altec library here the 1993 catalog, then on to the 1996 new products, but nothing full-line catalog appears in between those two years. Had a quick look at the 1996 and it seems limited to new models only. A number of the latest models were mentioned here, e.g. with the list of data sheets for the smaller boxes, also with the last pic re petal-shaped horn.
AMEN
