HORNS OVERVIEW

The products included in the RH-HORNS directory fall into the
following categories.


SMALL & MEDIUM FORMAT HORNS

The CHH800, CBH1000 and CBH1600 are small format horns with 1"
throats.  The CBH820, CBH820/6 and CBH1020 are small format
horns with 2"throats, while the CBH500 is a medium- format 2"
horn.  

All of these horns are used mainly as components in 2-way and
3-way loudspeaker cabinets.  A secondary application is for
side and front fill in sound reinforcement systems. 


CBH 400 SERIES LARGE FORMAT 2" THROAT HORNS 

The CBH400-4, CHBH400-6 and CBH400-9 are large format horns
designed for use with the Renkus-Heinz 2" SSD3301 HF Driver in
high-power arena systems and in other similar applications. 
They are usually combined with low frequency enclosures (bass
cabinets) to form high power 2-way systems.  These "horn plus
low frequency enclosure" systems were at one time quite
popular, but have now been replaced by high performance 2-way
and 3-way loudspeaker cabinets in most new projects. 
Recommended replacements for improved performance are the CE
and TRAP Series systems.

 
CBH250 SERIES LARGE FORMAT 2.4" THROAT HORNS

The CBH250-4, CBH250-6 and CBH250-9 were designed mainly or
use in high power "speech only" systems, but are also used as
a mid frequency horn in high power 3-way systems.  The current
trend is to use high power mid/high cabinets, such as our CE
Series CEMH64-3A, in most applications. 


COAX SERIES

The COAX40, COAX60 and COAX90 represent a step between the
large-format horn systems mentioned above and high performance
mid/high cabinets.  They offer somewhat improved performance
over the large format horns, but can not match the sonic
performance of high power mid/high cabinets.  We recommend the
use of CE or TRAP series cabinets in most applications.


These horns are included in the EASE database primarily for
reference purposes and to facilitate the expansion and/or
replacement of existing installations.
