They were never used in any Cabinet... That's not what they were designed for.. Most likely an after market purchase so someone could mount them on a ceiling or up high IMHO...
I've gotten gun shy about the word "never". Not fond of egg on my face.Originally Posted by Altec Best
I have to say somewhere somebody may have used the brackets in a cab. But have never seen it.. And if you mean Altec never did, am 99.999999 % sure you are right. As GM showed, Heath did use the 511A in cabs.

I agree with you OG.. But in this case I think it was appropriate.I was talking about those Brackets..I was strictly talking about them being manufactured (Cabinets) with these brackets already installed by a manufacturer inside of a cabinet like Heath,Altec... To the best of my Knowledge I have never seen or come across any cabinet or literature stating otherwise...
Is it possible ? Sure but highly unlikely due to the cost of these brackets..
Remember these brackets were pricey.. When inside a cabinet some flat iron brackets bent to shape would suffice at the time was prolly ? .10 Those 511A ceiling brackets were expensive for brackets..
They are ceiling or wall mount brackets for mounting up high for PA use .. IMHO.
I don't like using "Never" either.There are no absolutes except death and taxes.....
Yeah, but they came with 511a's. In the grey market all kinds of things happen.

I agree, a simple way to mount the horn as a stand alone.
I don't think you'll get any argument on that AB.They are ceiling or wall mount brackets for mounting up high for PA use .. IMHO.
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.
