Hi Wayne.

I'm guessing you're using the Pi 12's for the sub shootout?

Will that be with dual drivers or singles if that's what you're doing, and how nasty are these bad boys?

Grant.

Yes, the 12 π will be at the Prosound Shootout on October 14. You can find more information about the design in the thread called "12 π basshorn - just about ready for prime time." There's lots of info there, so look through all the links and messages in the thread.

I know that you've been working on this one a long time.

I think this will be a more significant speaker than many for you because it "widens the lines" by appealing to and supporting a new group. I'm not sure, but with the cooling system and attention to other details does it actually go a step above many commercial offerings?

Good luck on the shoot out Wayne.

Grant.

I've built lots of horns over the years, but I've always considered folded basshorns to be special purpose designs, typically for prosound use only, becase they are necessarily so large. This particular model is a no-compromise horn, and I've designed it specifically to address drawbacks I saw in other similar designs.

I'm also working on a slightly smaller model too, and some tops go go along with either basshorn. I still prefer my seven π and other designs for high-end home theater or HiFi, but for all out power in large environments, these new products should be comparable with the worlds best. I expect them to perform very impressively at the shootout.
