They were the HH mini horns.

Anyone know what driver was used on the mini horns? The larger HH concert and unit radial used the RCF100 on the older ones,then HH's own one on the later horns,driver was CD400,sounded nice,but had a really odd 3/4 inch throat that only fitted their own radial.

Be seeing you.

Mykey i have had these piezo's since 1981 none of them has ever blown. i am not sure at what point they xover because back in them day's soundmen like myself did not think about that kind of thing what we did was to put a resistor on the live termenal & that would be it.. the top end of my system sounds very clean. my pre-amp & xover do the crossing over... le me tell you from the start this is what i use
1.. 3-way pre-amp with built-in pra-eq which i had made in 1979 from winston(TROG)
2.. 3x eq's (1 on the tops)  (1 on the mid's)  (1 on the bass)
3.. 3x studiomaster 800 power-amps
4.. 4x 15" scoop bins
5.. 2x twin 12"  high mid's - 2x twin 12" low mid's (4 mid cabs in total)
6.. 4x mini hh horns
7.. 2x 24 piezo cab's
8.. 1x hh slide echo
9.. 1x hh digital echo
10.. 1x powertran digital echo
11.. 1x njd siren
12.. 1x Garrad 4hf turntable
would just like to say i dont play out any more & i dont play cd's  i only play my system at home once every 3 or 4 month's i play only vynals & dub plate's.... so for my front room set this is more than ok for me.... (is that ok for you).....

I wonder why they're only put in 'el cheapo' cabs these days then? It's a mystery!

Meyer have and may still use them who knows.

There were 2 brothers that designed great RCF loaded sound systems years ago (can't remember what company), they used to use Piezos in the high end PA cabs, but crossed hiWink
