Electro-Voice Constant-Directivity Horn HP640 Manuals

HP640 Constant-Directivity Horn General Product Description The Electro-Voice® HP640 is a wide-range, flat-front, constant-directivity, high-frequency horn. With the HP640, a horizontal dispersion angle is controlled over a frequency range of 500 Hz to 20 kHz, and the vertical angle is controlled from 1.5 kHz to 20 kHz, both with unusual precision and adherence to the intended angle. Furthermore, excellent loading is maintained to a low frequency of 500 Hz. The flat-front design makes the HP640 suitable for all modern boxed and clustered systems. A special vaned waveguide throat detail gives the HP640 unusually uniform vertical directivity control in the top octaves when compared to similar 2-inch-throat horn designs. Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications The horn shall be of the constant-directivity type. It shall produce a horizontal beamwidth (6-dB-down angle) of 60 degrees, deviating no more than 20 degrees from this angle over the frequency range of 500 to 20,000 Hz. It shall produce a vertical beamwidth of 40 degrees, deviating no more than 10 degrees from this angle over the frequency range of 1,500 to 20,000 Hz. In addition, it shall provide useful acoustic loading at all frequencies above 500 Hz. The horn shall be of hybrid fiberglass-and-zinc construction. The initial throat section shall be Specifications: The following specifications are in accordance with or exceed the AES Recommended Practice for Specification of Loudspeaker Components Used in Professional Audio and Sound Reinforcement (AES2-1984; ANSI S4.26-1984). Horizontal Beamwidth: 60° (+20°, -10°) (-6 dB 1.6 kHz to 20 kHz) Vertical Beamwidth: 40° (+20°, -10°) (-6 dB, 1.25 kHz to 20 kHz) Directivity Factor Rθ (Q): 17.8 (average 1.6 kHz to 20 kHz) Directivity Index Di: 12.5 dB (+2.0, -3.0 dB) 10 log Rθ, (average 1.6 kHz to 20 kHz) Lowest Recommended Crossover Frequency: 500 Hz constructed on die-cast zinc and shall be integrally laminated into the fiberglass portion of the horn. The horn shall possess a throat of 4.9 cm (1.94-in.) diameter, and its flange shall be provided with four clearance holes for ¼-20 bolts, located on a 10.2 cm (4.0 in.) circle for the mounting of the compression driver. The horn shall be 33.0 cm (13.0 in.) high, 71.1 cm (28.0 in.) wide and 43.7 cm (17.2 in.) long. It shall weigh no more than 4.3 kg (9.5 lb). The horn shall be the Electro-Voice HP640 constant-directivity horn. Construction: Polyester resin and glass-fiber laminate integrally molded to a die-cast zinc throat section. This hybrid construction assures a rigid driver mount, accurate, loss-free throat-wave transmission and low total weight compared to horns of similar size. Mechanical Connection of Driver: Bolt on; standard 2" diameter throat, 5" diameter mounting flange and four clearance holes for ¼" bolts on a 4" diameter bolt circle. Recommended Driver: DH1A, DH2A, DH2As2 Weight: 4.3 kg (9.5 lb)
