The HP horn series is a refinement of the concept of “con-
stant directivity,” which, in 1974, EV was the first to intro-
duce. For the first time, horn coverage angles were truly
unifor
m over a wide frequency range. In the HP series,
unique beamwidth-control vanes within the horn throat
form a waveguide that eliminates the narrowing of cover-
age angle – beaming – that occurs in other 2-inch-throat
horns. EV’s patented Transplanar™ design provides excep-
tionally smooth frequency response. HP horns or variants
thereof are used throughout the EV speaker system lines.
Each HP hor
n features an integral die-cast metal throat
encapsulated in the fiberglass sidewalls. This unitized con-
struction provides very high strength and low weight.

• Large-format two-inch horns
• The ultimate in dispersion
control, with control of rated
dispersion angle down to
500 Hz, both horizontally and
vertically
• Directivity control to 500 Hz
maximizes vocal intelligibility
and musical clarity in difficult
acoustic environments

HP1240
• Medium-format two-inch horns
• Vertical dimensions have been
reduced, for use when space
constraints preclude the use
of large-format horns
• Horizontal directional control
maintained to ~500 Hz
• Vertical control to ~1,500 Hz
HP64
HP66
HP94
• Small-format two-inch horns
• Use as primary HF horns in
compact sound systems
• Beamwidth control to ~2,000 Hz
HPT64
HPT94
• Very-small-format one-inch
horns
• Use in three- and four-way
systems with DH3 driver for
tweeter and supertweeter
applications
• Directional control to 3,000 Hz
