804B questions?

[Steve Schell]

It was explained to me one time that the 400Hz. Altec multicellulars were built specifically for use with dual drivers. Apparently the cells are the same as the 300Hz. horns except for being a bit shorter on the throat end. One purported advantage of these horns was lower throat distortion. I'm not at all sure that a stock single driver throat will fit, but then I've never had any of these to examine. I suppose some custom throats could be built if necessary.

Steve is on the right track. The 4 had different cell size. That's why some 4 could use even 4 drivers.

In the case of the 1005B .The horn was designed to accomodate 1 or 2 drivers .

Best thing is to follow the chart on page 4

I guess that I could go with the two driver throat if need be (given the fact that I can find them and the need for four drivers)

This might be a project a little longer in the making than I thought.

Thanks for the help guys!
