Main Features
RE-Engineered Octal Horn
The mid-high frequency horn is based on the renowned ALTEC 808 eight-cell design, long regarded as a benchmark for controlled dispersion. Analog Sound has re-engineered the horn in a proprietary alloy rather than the original cast aluminium, increasing rigidity, reducing resonant colouration, and extending high-frequency performance.
Front-Loaded Bass Horn
Inspired by the legendary Western Electric 48-series cinema horns of the 1930s and 1940s, celebrated for their exceptional efficiency and authoritative low-frequency weight, the enclosure is partnered with the Line Magnetic BA-18, an 18-inch permanent-magnet driver featuring a one-piece paper cone.
Single Crossover Point
A two-way architecture allows the network to employ just one crossover point, minimising phase shift and preserving coherence and continuity across the audible spectrum.
Room-Adjustable Alignment
The upper horn can be moved forward or backward and tilted to achieve precise time alignment at different listening distances. Treble output may be adjusted via switches offering –2 dB, 0 dB, or +2 dB settings. Bi-wire terminals are provided as standard.
Hand-Matched and Voiced
Each diaphragm is measured, conditioned, and batch-matched before assembly. Left and right channels are paired to stringent tolerances, after which every loudspeaker pair is individually voiced to meet Analog Sound’s reference standard.
