Karsoncookie Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So, alot of folks talk about "damping" horns to eliminate "ringing" Using Mortite or Dynamat or similiar, or concrete or Jello Chocolate (For a more mellow tone) Pudding (NOT "Instant" of course) or whatever, and gasketing snugly to the motorboard for slightly isolated yet added mass to help reduce unwanted vibrations. Kinda makes sense. (Newbie here) But then, we have the Jubscalas or ?Jubillees? that have the top horns supported from the bass bin with like a 402 or 510 horn. with only the mid weight and in some photos with the horn actually totally unsupported on the front end, or resting on the bass cab below with NO buffer ? Maybe an air gap, not sure, but still with the front edge of the horn totally left to potentially "vibrate" possibly negatively. I see two TOTALLY conflicting methods. I only care because I just got a pair of double 15" KPT 904's and will be needing to select what to add for the mids/highs and mounting them (it) exposed on top. 402's are out of my $ range, and I'm considering 510 for 2 way or K400 and K77 (cause I LUVVED my old La Scalas). Thoughts?? If you like,Please talk to me like a 5 yr old ok. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Richard Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The tendency of a horn to ring depends on it's weight, design, and materials of construction. In your case the K510 would make a nice mid-high horn with the right driver (K-69 or TAD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tromprof Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Doesn't seem to be needed with my wood Volti and ALK horns. I can see that a metal horn or lighter plastic one would at least need some kind of mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
