revbobuk Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Just been reading about the Danley Jericho Horn. One of their recent installations is a sports field with 30,000 capacity - and they use a single horn speaker to cover the whole lot. Here's the detail. What particularly intrigues me is that it only has three 1.4" HF drivers! Would love to hear this setup - it's hard to believe it could work.

boatman Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 . What particularly intrigues me is that it only has three 1.4" HF drivers! Would love to hear this setup - it's hard to believe it could work. Not quite, but I still wouldn't want to be standing directly in front of it. With six 18-inch low-frequency drivers, six 6-inch mid-frequency drivers, and three 4-inch two-way high-frequency drivers, the Jericho Horn JH-90 is a true four-way design. Oooops, there seems to be a mismatch between the technical spec on the Prosoundweb article and the real data sheet on Danely's web site. The latter says: The JH-90 “Jericho Horn” is simply the most accurate powerful loudspeaker ever created. A single cabinet can produce quality audio well beyond 1000’ from a true full range point source housing; six 18" drivers, six - 6” mid range drivers and three 1.4” coaxial high frequency drivers....Power handling shall be 17000 Watts continuous program..

IRW Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hmm...a little misleading to call it a single horn surely? Did any other non-noise people think it was just a really big one of these:http://www.toa.eu/user/images/products/thumb/TC-630.jpg :** laughs out loud **: E2A: Just noticed the spec sheet says it has a 19-pin Male Socapex Lighting connector- could give a new meaning to the term 'light organ' if someone plugged it into a 6-way dimmer pack! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Lewis Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hmm...a little misleading to call it a single horn surely? It is a single horn - Tom Danley specialises in single horns with multiple drivers, and also tapped horns. He is probably one of the leading experts in this field, and has built some extreme devices such as the Matterhorn. Just noticed the spec sheet says it has a 19-pin Male Socapex Lighting connector- could give a new meaning to the term 'light organ' if someone plugged it into a 6-way dimmer pack! :PThere was a discussion some years ago on another forum where a poster couldn't get a newly acquired Bass tech servo sub to sound very loud. Noticing that there was an American two prong mains connector at the rear, he plugged it into the 110V supply and was very pleased with the output, but complained that he could get only "one note" from it...

Brian Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Going slightly OT but to simulate noise issues with Saturn 5 rockets NASA used horns capable of generating very high sound levels. A Saturn rocket will deliver 130-140dB at 1 mile; 110-120dB at 5 miles and still be doing 100dB plus at 20 miles. Centred around 10Hz! To test structures and propagation they used a voice coil assembly to modulate a high pressure air feed running at around 40psi and 500 cu ft/min. The horn was so large it would offer proper coupling down to 25Hz. Not exactly hi-fi but they'd make for an interesting dedicated kick-drum system.

chelgrian Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Matterhorn. A sub with 40KW of amplification and its own diesel generator...sounds more like an acoustic demolition device... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Just noticed the spec sheet says it has a 19-pin Male Socapex Lighting connector- could give a new meaning to the term 'light organ' if someone plugged it into a 6-way dimmer pack! :P With power handling of 17,000 watts, most 6-way dimmer packs would under-drive the speaker! (Hmmm...that's a kind of sobering thought...) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
