416-8C info please?

[gearfreak]

So, apart from the partially horn loaded 816/828, there's no other (more modern or otherwise) established horn loaded enclosure for the 416-8C?

Putting these woofers in vented enclosures, would probably not render the result I heard from the 816?

The Model 19 cabinet is very popular, and perhaps (hear-say) designed for the 416-8C.

It's HF section is for a ~1" (aka small format) driver. You are talking about a 288 which would be a ~2" aka 'large format' driver . Perhaps you'd just sit it on top, and not use the top M19 horn section. I do not know if it is a continuous volume (I would suspect so) or sealed from the HF cavity.


The system you heard sounds like a 3 way setup of course.
The M19 and the classic A5 / A7 (825 and 828 model LF sections mentioned) are 2 way.


So perhaps it was actively crossed over?
If not, then you'd want to inquire about the crossover used as well.

In any event, you'd want to find out more about the crossover points used (passive or active) if you are trying to repro that system.
It will end up affecting your decision as you look at the specs.
