Since speakerplans.com has put a link to our site we have been
constantly asked if we know of cabinet builders who can supply ready made
1850 horns. We already supply large amounts of drivers to people who build
1850 horns so we thought it was time to get a license from
speakerplans.com and go into manufacture of the awesome 1850 horn.
Our version is called the Looney Bin and is a modified design of the
1850 horn which goes slightly lower and has 3 dB more output. The design
modifications were carried out by Rog Mogale himself and even he is proud
of the extra output and more refined sound this new version gives. The
higher output and other improvements are possible because of a new range
of drivers made by Void Acoustics. Rog Mogale's links with Void Acoustics
meant that a new driver could be built just for the Looney Bin. Rog says
that the PD 1850 whilst still an awesome driver always did sound a bit
hard in the 1850 horn. You also needed to have over 1000 watts per driver
available to get the high output levels the PD 1850 is capable of. The new
Void drivers are much more efficient and play at the same output levels as
the PD 1850 but with lower power levels most people use. But when you do
start to use lots of power then because of their efficiency the Void
drivers produce unheard of output levels from the Looney Bin. The Void
Acoustics drivers are also extremely reliable as they are hand built for
Void by a very well known and respected manufacturer.
Each cabinet comes loaded with a 1000 watt 18" driver. The driver
has a 5" coil, double spider and a 288 mm diameter magnet. The
cabinet comes complete with four metal bar handles, four swivel wheels and
a very durable dark red epoxy finish. The cabinets are fully rebated and
CNC manufactured. Each cabinet is constructed from top quality 18 mm
Scandinavian birch plywood.
Unfortunately the price of the Looney Bin has had to increase due to
higher than anticipated production costs. The new price for the Looney Bin
is £675 including VAT with discounts available for large orders. An
optional canvas cover is available for £45
