Ki Choi Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Has the baby cheek orientation when mounting the JBL 2404 or CP-25 been discussed? ALK's photo shows the cheeks oriented vertically with one cheek on top and the other on the bottom. However, I see JBL speaker photos show the cheeks mounted horizontally, one on left and one on right. I would assume to follow the trachorn configuration for sound dispersion, the horizontal mounting of the cheeks is more apporpriate. Thanks, Ki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I don't recall if the dispersion is 90x90 or 100x100 but I think regardless of the number, it's about the same in both directions and doesn't make a difference? I had mine 'horizontal'. I've got a pair of ST-350's (similar shaped unit) on my EV Interface D speakers and those came from the factory horizontal. Try it both ways... I sat mine on top of the speaker for some trials...could never tell a difference so went with how the factory did my ST-350's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blvdre Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 There was a lebgthy thread about this a while back. The 2404 should be oriented with the butt horizontal, i.e. "sitting" butt. The Beyma's butt should be vertical, or "lying on it's side" butt. I just read somwhere recently that in Japan, they do not refer to these horns as butt cheeks, but rather reference a specific part of the female anatomy.

ZAKO Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 If you look closely at the JBL 2404,,You will see a diffraction slot,,That should be mounted vertically,,Butt cheeks then will be left and right of the slot.. On the BEYMA it does not matter,,,Its not a true butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The 2404 is 100 x 100, so it probably doesn't matter as much as the Beyma, which is 90 x 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAKO Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 If you refer to all the JBL installation litrature for the JBL 2404,, All show the 2404 with the diffraction slot set to verticle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 You had said, "On the BEYMA it does not matter", which isn't true. I was simply pointing out that it matters less with the 2404 since it's 100 x 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean it really doesn't matter with the Beyma since anyway you mount it it's still going to sound like sh!t [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
