Fostex Wooden Horn H400 and D1400 Driver

Lindell · 11th September 2008, 07:51 PM

Does anyone have any experience with the Fostex H400 horn and D1400 1" driver?

Sound quality, x-over points, etc

.

The horn is fairly affordable. $489 at Madisound.

Is the D1400 driver up to par today? Compared to other 1" such as B&C, Eighteen Sound, BMS, Radian, RCF, Beyma, etc. I'm not that experienced in the driver field.

I was think a box something like this with PHL 12":

Thank you,

Hi,

here is some info: http://www.soundworks-pa-shop.de/pop...9b79dc7847d229

(oh well, it was posted already

)

Recommended crossover seems to be "higher than" 750Hz, I had a similar combination from RCF and -I- would crossover them at 1000Hz + , if passive. It depends on your desired maximum volume level too. BTW the amount of fostex 1" drivers sold on ebay with blown voice coils speaks for itself imho.

I'll guess it's "Buy 'n' Try" then
