| The
next thing in directivity. |
- A Breif History Of The Horn:
- When Og the cave man wanted to be heard,
he cupped his hands around his mouth.
- This was the first acoustic horn.
- Then came conical horns, like bugles
and trumpets, they made things louder.
- Next came radial horns, they spread things
out. . . a bit.
- Then came constant directivity, they
spread things more evenly.
- Now comes Directed Coverage! A
new design to achieve a real world coverage pattern by directing the sound
down where the audience is. Not up on the ceiling.
|
| All
WRIGHT horns use DC technology for real-room coverage. Directed Coverage means the sound is directed
at the audience, not the ceiling or side walls. |
| Regular
old fashioned horns are symmetrical in both vertical and horizontal axes.
This is an easy way to design and build horns but it does not fit real
rooms. No one is sitting on the ceiling, why aim half of the sound up there?
If the speaker is above peoples heads, the pattern should be skewed downward.
If the speaker is near a side wall, the pattern should be directed away
from the wall and towards the center while the axis remains straight ahead. |

Oblique Vari-Q
Specifically for churches and auditoriums where the speaker is flown
in the center front of a room longer than it is wide. The Oblique horn
is designed to cover a rectangular room from an oblique angle. Provides
wide angle coverage for the front of the room and narrower for the back
plus more spl to compensate for the inverse square law. Coverage pattern
is 120° / 60° horizontal x 60° vertical creating a trapezoidal
pattern.
Dimensions: 21" w x 33" h x 15.5" d |

Array
This horn maintains a tight uniform pattern for use in multiple speaker
arrays in stadiums, gymnasiums and large auditoriums. The complex throat
pattern directs more energy toward the farther seats to compensate for
the inverse square law. Available in 60°x30°, 40°x20°,
30°x30° & 30°x15°
Dimensions: 21" w x 33" h x 15.5" d |
 |
Horizon
Used for bands, DJ's and PA systems, the Horizon horns have a tilted
pattern to keep the sound where the audience is, not on the ceiling. Available
in 120°x40°, 90°x40° and 60°x40°.
Vertical pattern is 10° up and 30° down.
Dimensions: 21" w x 14" h x 13.5" d |

Prism
Designed to produce a proper stereo image within the viewing area, the
Prism device defies normal limitations and actually seems louder as you
move away from it.
Dimensions: 15" w x 15" h x 8.5" d |
