Hey there, I am a Klipsch newbie.  This month I bought a pair of Klipsch Heresy HRB and just won a MMTM tweeter array off ebay.  Does anyone know anything about the tweeter array?  I do not know if it has a high pass filter built in, it might, since it has a fuse.  If it doesn't, can you recommend a design or shematic?I am gonna hang this thing near the ceiling at mid wall for a Loft like effect for a dance party.  Other speakers peresent will be Stephens Trusonic and Klipsch Heresy.

It seems to say "Protective high pass filter enclosed."

Smile,

FYI, look at the 545 T

Wow, looks like it is the same thing! 

 If this aint a rip off of Pro LaScalas I do not know what is?

 And if you want to sell that high end.. Please, can I get 1st dibbs?

I previously said I think this was a licensed arrangement which eventually went sour.  I was thinking of another company.   Apparently Allen was a big fan of PWK and these are authentic goods.

OTOH I am impress that that only four tweeter drivers like that can be used in cinema.  It is a testament to the value of steep crossover slopes - at least I assume they are steep, like in the home line of speakers.

It's amazing how so many companies come out with "new" ideas and engineering and assume that their customers are so ignorant that they will never have seen all this classic technology before.  It is to laugh...

 Wow, I don't know what you are talking about, LaScalas dont have that horrizantal brace

I will see how this thing goes at my party, It might be a little over the top so to speak.  I did just get an active crossover just in case. 

Oh look,  a Heresy

I knew I had this stuff somewhere but it took a while to find it:

The Klipsch MMTM is a controlled directivity high frequency horn designed for long throw applications. The MMTM's controlled dispersion is ideal for applications requiring high sound pressure levels at long distances and those requiring precise control of coverage patterns.

Frequency range:    +/- 5dB 6kHz-16kHz

Sensitivity:              108 dB SPL 1w/1m

Max Power:              40w    124 dB SPL

Nominal beamwidth:  H 45 deg    V 20 deg

Nominal impedance / minimum impedance:   8 Ohms / 5.9 Ohms @ 18 kHz

Network:                   Passive 6 kHz hi pass filter with 18 dB / octave cutoff coupled with a notch filter creating a 60 dB / octave slope

Dimensions:              8.25 in H x 10.25 in W x 13.75 in D

Protection:                 3 Amp GBB    (2 Amp AGC)

Oh look,  a Heresy

Oh c'mon...  that speaker says it's "Digital-Ready" surround speaker.  EVERYONE knows the Heresy is not digitial ready.  How many guys here use analog tubes on their Heresy's??

oh noooooo  So I can't play digital CD's on my Scala's??  I will unplug everything now!  Thanks for warning me!  That digital stuff is tricky!

NOT!! 

 dang, I meant to bid on that too. That goes with my MCM1900 stacks.

I don't particularly like the sound of mine, they seem to beam straight forward.  I've been thinking of modifying them to have wider dispersion. 

John Allen takes credit for the development of these pro speakers that are the same that Klipsch produced.  Look at the History page on that website and the dates of the development.  Did Allen and Klipsch have an agreement to produce the same speakers?  If so, who actually did the design?  Why is there no mention of Klipsch on Allen's website?
