Frequently Asked Questions
Horn designs can be susceptible to feedback, but proper gain staging and microphone placement should mitigate this. The 60° x 40° dispersion helps control the sound.
Given the 16 Ohm impedance, a quality amplifier delivering at least 400W RMS into 16 Ohms is recommended to fully utilize the speaker's capabilities. Check amplifier specs carefully.
The Achat 208 HL aims for a more balanced sound than some brighter horn designs, offering a clearer midrange and manageable highs; it's a solid all-rounder.
