Visual Sound, Inc. Medium-Format Horn, Passive MH940p

Electro-Voice The Electro-Voice® MH940P is a two-way, horn-loaded speaker system for permanent installation. The mouth dimensions of both the mid-bass and high-frequency horns are perfectly designed and large enough - with respect to the wavelengths reproduced - that the MH940P can provide uniform directivity control down to 500 Hz. The superior directivity control of the MH940P increases speech intelligibility and musical clarity in difficult acoustic environments. Other horn systems with similar radiating areas cannot provide the high degree of directional control of the MH940P.The high-frequency section delivers smooth and extended performance while operating from 1,600 Hz to 20,000 Hz, and is comprised of a specially developed, low-profile, DH2As2 compression driver coupled to an HP94 90 degree x 40 degree Constant Directivity horn. The HP94 features integral, fiberglass-and-zinc construction for exceptional strength and performance. Beamwidth-control vanes in the horn throat correct all coverage anomalies within a 10 kHz to 20 kHz octave. This horn-and-driver combination is securely mounted to the mid-bass horn by a heavy-duty steel bracket. The mid-bass system is composed of a DL10X-SH 10-inch (24.5 cm) reproducer mounted on a MH940 90 degree x 40 degree mid-bass horn. The DL10X-SH reproducer contains a Kevlar® and epoxy cone, which is twice as strong as a conventional paper cone. The mid-bass section operates between 140 Hz and 1,600 Hz, and features a proprietary, Aperiodic Enhancer™ phase plug (U.S. patent no. 4,718,517), which extends high-end output to blend seamlessly into the coaxial, high-frequency section.
