399-8B/16B GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Altec Lansing’s 399-8B and 399-16B compact, high frequency, compression drivers have been designed for use in high level sound reinforcement systems where both wide bandwidth and substantial acoustic output level are essential. When used with Altec Lansing MantarayTM high frequency horns, the energy produced by these drivers can be directed to cover an audience accurately and completely. Their wide range response, when complemented by Altec Lansing low frequency loudspeaker systems, will provide smooth reproduction of speech and music for installations in auditoriums, churches, stadiums, and arenas.
The robust Pascalite diaphragm extends the driver’s power handling capability, while maintaining superior high frequency bandwidth. The compact magnetic motor-structure, utilizing a 6.7 lbs. (3.0 kg) ferrite magnet, provides a 2.05 T gap flux density. An exclusive TangerineTM radial phasing-plug assures a smooth upper range response.
The excellent performance characteristics of these drivers make them the high frequency component of choice for all large sound systems when premium dynamic reproduction is required.
MR II 564B/594B GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Altec Lansing's MR II 564B and MR II 594B MantarayTM constant-directivity horns feature efficient mid and high frequency response with proper loading down to 500 Hz, plus excellent directivity control over their respective 60°Horizontal x 40°Vertical and 90°Horizontal x 40°Vertical coverage patterns.
The geometry of the MR II 564B and MR II 594B reduces the problem of high frequency beaming and maintains uniform dispersion at all frequencies within the rated frequency range. Therefore, the same quality sound will be heard by listeners sitting off-axis and on-axis to the MANTARAYTM horn.
Altec Lansing MANTARAYTM horns are constructed of heavy-duty, weather resistant fiberglass. This construction technique results in a horn design that is surprisingly lightweight, yet extremely rugged and non-resonant.
