Applications
Bi-axial horn model BIA-100 delivers outstanding sound dis per sion and
audio efficiency when used with medium or high pow ered compression
drivers. Unit features exponentially-flared pro jec tors which eliminate
phase cancellation, control low-fre quency roll off, and offers maxi mum
re sults in professionally-applied voice, music, and sig naling sys tems.
It can be surface or flange-mounted and is ideal for use as a midrange
com po nent for two and three-way, high-fidelity loudspeaker systems.
Weather-re sis tant construction is suitable for permanent or portable
in stal la tion in house of worship, rec rea tion/sport cen ters, mass transit
ter mi nals, in dus trial, com mer cial, edu cational, and in sti tu tional fa cili ties.
General Description
BIA-100 is the original reflex horn fea tur ing a bi-axial design with twin
air columns and exponential bell for wide-angle coverage with a linear
fre quency re sponse. The horn pro vides ex cel lent acous tic loading
main tained to a 350Hz low-frequency roll-off and optimizes delivery
of high and midrange signal levels. BIA-100 is de signed for use with
Atlas Sound PD Series com pres sion drivers and mod els having 13⁄8" -18
male threads and 0.707" diameter throat open ings. Refer to PD Series
compression driver specification sheets for high-pass filter requirements.
Transformer-equipped drivers are available (power-tap information is
outlined on individual compression driver specification sheets). The
easily-mounted horn features the labor-saving patented gimbal-mount
bracket as sem bly (U.S. Pat ent #4,325,529) which allows for directional
po si tion ing up to 180˚ vertically and horizontally. It includes a steel
bracket, cast-mounting base, and provisions for flange in stal la tion.
The weather-resistant, non-glare matte black foam horn is resistant to
resonance. Bracket assembly is finished in durable epoxy.
