Re: What Did Heath Use 511A's For?

They are ceiling or wall mount brackets for mounting up high for PA use .. IMHO.
I don't think you'll get any argument on that AB.:D
The underlying theme here is that something doesn't jive in this fella's auction, maybe.
It's hard to tell from the pic if the color is accurate for Heath, but the brackets do seem to match the horns in color, and it seems like it would be going to a LOT of trouble to source repro Heath decals.
After reviewing the pics closely, i believe these are NOS, and i believe the brackets belong with and have always been with those horns, the color matches perfectly, and they're in immaculate condition.
I can only conclude by a wild ass guess that Heath must have offered the 511A w/bracket as a PA speaker for at least a period of time. I knew they made a few mixer amplifiers, and column speakers, but was never really aware that they offered anything for distributed sound.

I know what doesn't jive in this auction, the pool pics...wasn't there a guy selling some really awesome looking brackets for something else not too long ago and he had pictures of them by his pool?

Hmm. The horns in the pool pics have holes and are 511b, the other pics are 511a. Something fishy.

Re: What Did Heath Use 511A's For?
Nice catch OG ! Yup those are different then the other pics... The Heaths have no holes in the mounting flange either.. The brackets don't say heath on them anywhere Bowtie.. But also agree that these horns weren't sold in any cabinet due to the lack of mounting holes.. Could be Heath 511's and Altec Brackets.. My only point or argument was they (Brackets) didn't come IN any cabinet that I'm aware of. However if someone has something stating otherwise I will gladly edit my post to reflect the new info...

I would bet heavily that you're correct!
I'd sure like to have a pair of those brackets tho. Mounted to the appropriate sled, i think they'd be an elegant way to dress A7-500's.

I think GM is really spot on that most of the remaining ones in existence are probably still hanging horns somewhere from their original installs.

Yeah, but they came with 511a's. In the grey market all kinds of things happen.

Those Heath labels are quite confusing.. And the horns have no holes in the mounting flange..So I think they were sold as PA ceiling horns.. Just my .02
I have been known to be wrong before !! :Big smile:
