bearhifi Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 There are no makrings on them and was wonder what kind of horns I have….The horn part looks a lot like one from a Cornwall but the driver does not… Also can anyone direct me to a project that I could use these in? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Those look like Atlas horns. The drivers I have no idea. You really need to ID the drivers to figure out any possible freq. coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Not having any information about the driver will make it very difficult to reccomed for a project. The horns are very similar to Klipsch, but originals probably have a klipsch logo on them. Those Horns might work well for building a Cornwall clone.

bearhifi Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 One of the drivers has " B2 and what appears to be a E" marked on it...B2E? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I'm not sure the horn is not from a Cornwall. Which would be a K-600? The casting marks on the side sure look like a Klipsch product. Maybe someone here can confirm that the pattern of the screw holes match what is used in a CW. That would be a good indicator IMHO. At is it aluminum? The Cornwall is 15.5 inches deep from what I read. If you subtract out 0.75 and 0.75 inches for the front and back panels we get 14 inches of available depth in the box. Therefore I would expect the length from the mouth to the back of the driver to be maybe 0.25 shorter. If that works, then I'd definitely start suspecting that is what you have.

bearhifi Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 The horn is aluminum and its 12" from the very front to the very back without the driver... 14" wide and 5.75 tall... It has foam on the back side of the front lip...so it was front mounted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 It's not a k-600, its dimentions are 11" mouth to throat 11.5" wide and 5" tall. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The driver is the Atlas PDMR, the ceramic prototype of the solder terminal K55V. Atlas got stuck with a ton of these when Klipsch refused to accept them, and went with the EV sourced K55M. I bought a few at about $24 direct from Atlas.

To me, the casting of the outside of that horn looks too rough for Klipsch .... (even for a K600[:#]) ?? Looks to have been ground down. ??? tc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
