After 12 years I finished the woodwork of my Bruce V1.2 (from the old frugal-horns site) and I remembered I have on the shelf some Visaton speakers.
It is a set of the TL 16H HF horns and the DR45/MH300 MF horns.
Now when I bought these years ago I thought of making the TL 860 D monitors. But after building the Bruce I know my woodwork skills are not up to it to build the octogonal enclosure. And they are rather large for the apartment I live in. So I looked through the original TL book (dated 1987!) and saw the TL Monitor 473 D.
This is a rectangular boxed version with a single woofer using the DR45/MH300 and TL 16H.
But I cannot find any plans of it. Not on the Visaton site/forum and even google turns up nothing, not even a photo of those speakers. Does anyone has (a link to) the plans for these?
Alternative would be to make the 890 D into a rectangular box but I don't really want to spend time doing that.

Hi,
hope it´s OK to show the plan after 34 years without any copyright issues. If not, send me a PM.
However, you´ll need the original bass driver as well, or you are on your own anyway and need to design your own box.
All the best

Thanks a lot! That's what I was looking for. I'll take a look at the parameters of the drivers.
That Bruce BRV from Flugelhorn is a disaster, just like you are listening to a tiny transistor radio in a cavern.

Hello...
@Havoc
Do you have the whole TL book from 1987?
Can you scan the book and send it to me as a PM!?
@Mattes
You uploaded the plan here ... do you possibly have the rest of the article too ...
I was able to buy a pair of these speakers a few weeks ago and am desperately looking for information about them!
Many greetings from Germany
Guido

Given the date this will be a guessed TL, not a designed TL (design tools were not available). I would approach any TL not designed using a modeler with skepticism.

Guess you would have to design a box.
Is interesting absolutely no photos of the 473-D
horn is 685mm wide. guessing the lower cabinet
was as wide as the Horn
What woofer would you use?
TIW 360- 8 or TIW 300- 8
Moin Guido,
Sorry, I´ve missed your request... But here you go, this is from Elrad Extra 4 from 1986, so you have a classic speaker there. Hope the drivers are still fine! If they were mine, I would consider a rebuiling of the crossover, especially replacing the L-pads... there´s of course no guarantee to make things "better".
Hope the scan makes sense... a bit difficult to scan those old magazines, don´t want to destroy them...
All the best
Mattes
