would a "small Sato horn"/"Sato horn" be useful ? if so, then you could search and inquire around those term

Hi shiftsweden, any update to your small sato horn project? What compression driver did you use?

We have same speaker and i'm planning to do the same to replace the Altec 511b horn on top of the onken and to use the Altec 808 8B compression driver for the small sato horn.

Thanks

thanks GM.. how about using the Altec small format CD (802,806, 808) in to this kind of horn?

 

[GM]

The original is a 1" exit, so sure, though recommend 802/808 other than the 'G' body.

Call a friend, I will ask my friendly carpenter to do it for me and i will guide him in regards to some details, then the throat for / adapter the transition from wood to metal will be faricated machined here in my place, any suggestion of material for the throat adaptor? Aluminum or Bronze ?.. [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]
