JBL 5090 / HL89 lens /3105 crossover attenuator question

[alfmonster]

Hi does anyone know the difference between the 5090 Lens and the HL89 Lens?
is one the professional version of the other? It seems the HL89 is a lot more expensive than the 5090.


Also with the 3105 crossover, does the original attenuator click between the 4,3,2,1 numbers? Or is does it just turn all the way to the right and to the left and the numbers just go beyond the center mark?

thanks again in advance.

No clicks on the crossover. It's just continuous between the stops.

That is correct. Just like 375 vs 2440, 075 vs 2402, 076 vs 2403 etc. It seems like the residential versions are worth more than the professional versions.

That is so good to know - I picked one up and wasn’t sure if the lack of clicks meant it was not original and wanted to check. By the way, I’m loving the 3115’s. Recently changed out the posts and they look great and sound beautiful especially paired with the 3105.
Maybe later on I’ll pick up a 3106 or an N8000 - they don’t seem to be as available as the 3105.

Ahh that makes sense. Is the 5090lens /537-509 horn the professional version and the L89lens/ H89 horn the residential version?
