HP94
TransPlanar
™
Constant-Directivity
Horn
General Product Description
The Electro-Voice
®
model HP94 is a wide-range,
flat-front, high-frequency, constant-directivity horn. The
horizontal angle is controlled over a frequency range
of 1.2 kHz to 20 kHz and the vertical angle is controlled
from 2.1 kHz to 20 kHz, both with unusual precision
and adherence to the intended angle. Furthermore,
excellent loading is maintained to a low frequency of
1000 Hz.
The flat-front design makes the HP94 suitable for all
modern boxed and clustered systems. A special vaned
waveguide throat detail gives the HP94 unusually good
high-frequency control, vertically, when compared to
similar 2-inch-throat horn designs.
Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications
The horn shall be of the constant-directivity type. It shall
produce a horizontal beamwidth (6 dB-down angle) of
90 degrees, deviating no more that 30 degrees from
this angle over the frequency range 1,200 to 20,000
Hz. It shall produce a vertical beamwidth of 40 degrees,
deviating no more than 20 degrees from this angle over
the frequency range 2,100 to 20,000 Hz. In addition, it
shall provide useful acoustic loading at all frequencies
above 1000 Hz.
The horn shall be of hybrid fiberglass-and-zinc
construction. The driver-mounting flange and initial
throat section shall be constructed of die-cast zinc and
Specifications:

shall be integrally laminated into the fiberglass portion
of the horn.
The horn shall possess a throat of 4.92-cm (1.94in.)
diameter and its flange shall be provided with four ¼-20
clearance bolt holes on a 10.2 cm (4.0 in.) circle for the
mounting of the compression driver. The horn shall be
27.9 cm (11.0 in.) high, 22.2 cm (8.8 in.) wide, and
22.2 cm (8.7 in.) long. It shall weigh no more than 2.5
kg (4.5 lb).
The horn shall be the Electro-Voice model HP94
constant-directivity horn.
Construction:
Polyester resin and glass-fiber laminate integrally
molded to a die-cast zinc throat section. This hybrid
construction assures a rigid driver mount, accurate,
loss-free throat-wave transmission and low total weight
compared to horns of similar size.
Mechanical Connection of Driver:
Bolt on; standard 2" diameter throat, 5" diameter
mounting flange and four clearance holes for ¼" bolts
on a 4" diameter bolt circle.
Recommended Driver:
DH1A, DH2A
Weight:
2.5 kg (4.5 lb)
