High Frequency Large Horn Cabinet





Plans to build a high frequency large horn cabinet for playing out.


This high frequency large horn cabinet is ideal for a modular system... If you want to get more ambitious, you can go for a modular system, with seperate bass, mid and treble cabs... each frequency range has it's own power amp, either a stereo amp, or 2 mono ones. The frequencies are split after the mixer, by an active cross-over (powered), which is best for systems over 500W per per cross-over (frequency).... You can tweak the active cross-over at the venue to 'tune' the sound a bit more...

This cabinet requires a passive cross-over inside to split between the horn and the bullet tweeter..... Check with the supplier for appropriate cross-overs and wiring when you purchase the driver units.

LOUDSPEAKERS HF FLARE WITH 1 OR 2 DRIVERS
BULLET TWEETER
PERFORMANCE From 1.2KHz to 20KHz of smooth clean mid and treble
Sensitivity of 100db for 1 Watt at 1 metre
CONSTRUCTION Fairly simple.
fairly simple this one
MATERIALS 2/3rds of a sheet of 18mm / 3/4" 8' X 4' board (2438 X 1219)

I am making cabinets for my guitar playing kids (14, 10, 10, & 9) to use in their band. These look like good plans. Could they be used directly hooked up to guitar amplifier heads? I have downloaded all the plans which you have put on the site. Can you recommend which ones to use for the guitars?

Thanks.

I tried to send comments about the 1x15" scoop bin, but was unable to I'll add it to this. It is truly a great design, but I am interested in building an 18" version, can anyone give me advice on any changes that would need to be made to the cabinet design? I am planning to use the Celestion BX18 600w 30-300hz speakers, wise choice?

Think that to make a better cabinet is difficult.
Have all the cabinet got the same size like this.
I think I will have a try to make one myself.
It will be terrible work.
But I like it.
