DESCRIPTION
The Electro-Voice
MH660C is a two-way hornloaded speaker system for permanent installation. Because the mouth dimensions of both
the mid-bass and high-frequency horns were
correctly chosen and are large enough with
respect
to the wavelengths reproduced, the
MH660C
provides unifon directivity control
down to 500Hz.
This super directivity control
increases speech intelligibility and musical clarity in difficult acoustic environments.
Other
horn systems wlth smaller radlatlng areas
simply cannot provlde the hlgh degree of
directional control associated with the
MH660C.
