Look under "Nos systemes"! Looks like excellent work to me! I whish my french was good enough to understand a bit more as the authors seem to be very competent!
Seems this is a variant of the "Le Dauphin" horn? Maybe there?s some french members on this board who could comment?

ClausK,
Cool link. I'm sold. Primarily because my wife actually likes it. She said: "I'd have that in my livingroom". But then she came to her senses and clarified the issue: " ...as long as it isn't too big". Nevertheless, it sounds like wood (no pun intended) is the ticket to marital harmony!
LarryLarry,
I no longer have my 1505 but I have a nice template of one cell panel. It fits nicely on any side of any cell throughout the horn and extends the full length of the cell. I would like to post a scan but I'm not sure how to on this site. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Also, I have always assumed that 1505 cell size is the same as other 500 Hz horn configurations. Can anyone verify or dismiss this assumption?

Charles has provided 1005 horn size. To get a single cell dimensions is enough (open mouth & length) to build your yearning 1505 replica by your woodworkings ability. You can also buy one 1505 from ebay auction if you want to get an exactly size. Ebay has one beautiful 1505 is waiting for you to own it. So, all your worries are disappeared. I think you should decide to start your project. Don?t let it (1505) goes easily. Cause I think that you are a multicells horn enthusiast.
To make your dream come true that is nothing can pause your motivate. Now, try to imagine that your 1505 horn replicas are reproducing smooth sounds in your home. WOW! WONDERFUL!
Anyway, don?t be hesitating any more if you are seriously.
Hi Mirrophonic Sound System
I agreed with you, It's more fun to build your own horn and sell out your horn.
Hi Charles Chance, thankyou for your data.
I calculated the actual Altec horns cut-off frequency which are shown below:
311-60 = 254Hz cut-off
311-90 = 197Hz cut-off
511 = 261Hz cut-off
811 = 346Hz cut-off
1005 = 192Hz cut-off http://www.hostboard.com/forums/
ClausK, that wooden horn is very good and look like a 311-90 horn
Vott, i don't know how to post on this site. May be you can post the scan on other site and then leave the address/path on this site. In fact, i really want to have it. Could you mind send a scan to me via email?
On the other hand, i think the 1505 cell size is not the same as other 500 Hz horn because the size of the cell mouth.
HiFiplayer, i saw that beautiful 1505 horn on ebay but that seller is ship to US and Canada only. On the other hand, if the cost plus shipping is too high, i cannot afford.
In fact, from the actual cut-off frequency results, the multicell horn has a lowest cut-off frequency, may be the 1803 horn is the best.
Thankyou very much
Anyway, I will very happy to hear that you have completed your multicells horn planning. Every man would loves his dreams come true. Don't forget to share with everyone here. http://www.hostboard.com/forums/
LarryLarry,
I'm happy to email a scan of the cell template. Send me your email address in a private message and I'll email a scan to you when I get a chance.
The 1505 is truly an excellent horn with an unbeatable 105? by 60? uniform dispersion pattern (unlike the sectoral horns). I personally had no problem with HF lobing when using my 1505s---that must only be a significant issue at great distances. I used my in a 1200 seat auditorium with a balcony and the result was very good.

Hi Vott,
I sent my email address in a private message to you.
On the other hand, do you have other Altec multicell horn before? Say, 803b, 1005b..etc.
In fact, i want to know which one is more better(I means that the 300Hz, 500Hz or 800Hz horn). In fact, the 1803 is the most larger multicell horn and i wondered why Altec do not produce 18 cells 500Hz or 800Hz multicell horn.
Thanks
Vott:
What is the difference between a 210 horn and the 815 horn cabinet ?
Are there drawings of these with dimensions ?
