LeBaron Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hey there, I am a Klipsch newbie. This month I bought a pair of Klipsch Heresy HRB and just won a MMTM tweeter array off ebay. Does anyone know anything about the tweeter array? I do not know if it has a high pass filter built in, it might, since it has a fuse. If it doesn't, can you recommend a design or shematic?I am gonna hang this thing near the ceiling at mid wall for a Loft like effect for a dance party. Other speakers peresent will be Stephens Trusonic and Klipsch Heresy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 It seems to say "Protective high pass filter enclosed." Smile, Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBaron Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Wow, looks like it is the same thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 If this aint a rip off of Pro LaScalas I do not know what is? http://www.hps4000.com/pages/h525_.html And if you want to sell that high end.. Please, can I get 1st dibbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I previously said I think this was a licensed arrangement which eventually went sour. I was thinking of another company. Apparently Allen was a big fan of PWK and these are authentic goods. OTOH I am impress that that only four tweeter drivers like that can be used in cinema. It is a testament to the value of steep crossover slopes - at least I assume they are steep, like in the home line of speakers. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 It's amazing how so many companies come out with "new" ideas and engineering and assume that their customers are so ignorant that they will never have seen all this classic technology before. It is to laugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBaron Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Wow, I don't know what you are talking about, LaScalas dont have that horrizantal brace [] I will see how this thing goes at my party, It might be a little over the top so to speak. I did just get an active crossover just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Richard Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I knew I had this stuff somewhere but it took a while to find it: The Klipsch MMTM is a controlled directivity high frequency horn designed for long throw applications. The MMTM's controlled dispersion is ideal for applications requiring high sound pressure levels at long distances and those requiring precise control of coverage patterns. Frequency range: +/- 5dB 6kHz-16kHz Sensitivity: 108 dB SPL 1w/1m Max Power: 40w 124 dB SPL Nominal beamwidth: H 45 deg V 20 deg Nominal impedance / minimum impedance: 8 Ohms / 5.9 Ohms @ 18 kHz Network: Passive 6 kHz hi pass filter with 18 dB / octave cutoff coupled with a notch filter creating a 60 dB / octave slope Dimensions: 8.25 in H x 10.25 in W x 13.75 in D Protection: 3 Amp GBB (2 Amp AGC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Oh look, a Heresy Oh c'mon... that speaker says it's "Digital-Ready" surround speaker. EVERYONE knows the Heresy is not digitial ready. How many guys here use analog tubes on their Heresy's?? [6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 oh noooooo So I can't play digital CD's on my Scala's?? I will unplug everything now! Thanks for warning me! That digital stuff is tricky! [bs] NOT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 dang, I meant to bid on that too. That goes with my MCM1900 stacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I don't particularly like the sound of mine, they seem to beam straight forward. I've been thinking of modifying them to have wider dispersion. John Allen takes credit for the development of these pro speakers that are the same that Klipsch produced. Look at the History page on that website and the dates of the development. Did Allen and Klipsch have an agreement to produce the same speakers? If so, who actually did the design? Why is there no mention of Klipsch on Allen's website? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Oh look, a Heresy Yeah, an original Heresy, 1957-1985 series. Latest "digital" technology, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I will see how this thing goes at my party, It might be a little over the top so to speak. I did just get an active crossover just in case. So have you had a listen to your new unit yet? Since it's a long-throw design, aiming at a wall or ceiling might help spread out the sound for a wider sweet spot, so that's a good idea. I'd recommend you try it out before the party, to save any embarrassment if it has any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Guys, What is this bass bin? It isn't a lascala bass bin as it is 36.5 inches wide. Did Klipsch ever make a bass horn like this? I wonder if there is one in production like this somewhere? jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Allen and Klipsch DID have an agreement. Klipsch produced the HPS-4000 speakers for several years, but sometime after KlipschPro was sold, the quality of the gear dropped below what Mr. Allen wanted and he took over production. I assume under license (he never mentioned that). A few years ago, during the K-55-M era, he was using the Klipsch designs and horns, but had begun using different drivers for the tweeter and some of the squawkers.

WMcD Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 There is mention of PWK on Allen's website, a tribute. I posted that link in technical questions. It is interesting that John A. mentions KlipschPro being sold. This appellate decision http://www.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/97/10/971114P.pdf descibes the problems. Much of it is legal stuff, of course. My guess is that after this deal fell apart, pro theater came back in house. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
