Single Vintage Vitavox 550/321C 2X3 6 Cell Horn With Brass Throat
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:6849738 |
This listing is for a Single Vintage Vitavox 550/321C 2X3 6 Cell Horn with brass throat.The following is some information I found on the web regarding the horn (there is more information including Vitavox catalogs/ads which detail the horn)550
The 550 uses small exponential horn cells sharing a common throat and correctly angled relative to one another to ensure an even acoustic distribution, thus overcoming the basic defect of the narrow channel of sound distribution... obtainable from a reproducer having only a single flare or mouth opening.
-Constructed from sheet metal with spaces filled with a special non resonant compound.
-Uses either 3 or 6 cells and is available for cabinet (C) or suspension (S) mounting.
-The recommended crossover is 12dB at 1, 000Hz to prevent damage to compression units as the horns cut off frequency is 550Hz.
-Each cell mouth opening is 127 x 127 mm
-Acoustic distribution: approximately 20 degrees per cell
-Vitavox E thread
The 3 cell version has a 60 horizontal x 20 vertical degree distribution pattern, and the 6 cell version is 60 h x 40 V . Both versions are available for suspension or cabinet mounting . All horns have a a single 2.620 inch threaded (S-type) entry or 1 3/8th inch threaded E type entry.Cosmetically the unit is in pretty nice shape especially for its age and can be seen in the pictures.Due to age it is Being Sold AS IS and is not-refundable
Disclaimer: When buying almost 50 and 50 plus year old electronic equipment that has not had all parts replaced with new parts there is always the possibility with failure to the 50 year old part/s at any time. Some of the electronic part/s may continue for another 50 years without need of replacement and some electronic part/s may fail a few days after you start using the item. The item will arrive to you in the working condition as described in the listing but I am not responsible for what might happen to the electronics part/s after the item is received in working order due to the age of the electronic part/s.The buyer pays for shipping and handling/packing, there is a small international paperwork preparation fee of $25 for each package being shipped outside of the USA.
