Beyma TD-460/N: 2 kg TD-series horn for installation and fixed mounting
Two kilograms for an HF horn – the Beyma TD-460/N is the heaviest TD-series model in the 42.audio range. Mass like that is no accident: a horn with a large mouth and thick-walled body needs material, and that material is exactly what keeps the body from becoming a secondary sound source at high sound pressure. The horn is rated at 60 W AES; the N in the name marks a distinct variant within Beyma's model family.
Beyma's TD series stands for horns and waveguides that couple compression drivers to the air with defined directivity. The TD-460/N is the answer for projects where stability and coverage take priority over weight: installation speakers, large two-way tops, studio main monitors with horn-loaded HF. If you need a horn that is as light as possible for rack or flown use, the plastic models in the series are the better fit.
Use and enclosure
With a horn of this size the baffle takes centre stage: 2 kg need to be held permanently, so plan for T-nuts or through-bolts with lock nuts and mount the horn on a stiff, sufficiently thick front. The compression driver comes from the Beyma range and must match the horn throat in exit diameter. As the horn is listed without a datasheet PDF, confirm the throat beforehand via the 42.audio driver database or directly with Beyma.
Large horns generally allow lower crossover frequencies than compact ones, because the mouth controls the radiation down to lower frequencies. How low you can actually go is set by the driver: keep the high-pass clearly above its resonance and use a steep slope. The 60 W AES describe the horn's design rating; for system power handling the driver counts, and in installation use a limiter on the HF channel should be standard practice.
What to look out for
- Weight 2 kg – solid baffle, plan for T-nuts or through-bolts.
- Rated 60 W AES; the system limit is defined by the compression driver.
- Check the driver's exit diameter and mounting pattern in the driver database beforehand.
- Intended for fixed installation and large tops, not for weight-critical touring boxes.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the TD-460/N so much heavier than other TD horns?
Because mouth size and wall thickness cost material. A massive body stays quiet at high sound pressure and colours less than a light horn. For installation and studio use that is an advantage, for touring boxes more of a drawback.
Which compression driver belongs on this horn?
A Beyma driver whose exit matches the throat of the TD-460/N. Since the throat is not stored as an attribute here, check it in the 42.audio driver database before ordering.
Can I cross over lower with the TD-460/N than with small horns?
Usually yes, because a larger horn controls the radiation down to lower frequencies. The lower limit is still set by the driver's resonance – keep enough margin and measure in the cabinet.
Beyma TD-460/N: manufacturer, spellings and classification
Beyma and Acustica Beyma refer to the same manufacturer: Acústica Beyma S.L. of Moncada near Valencia, Spain. The TD-460/N is a horn / waveguide from the TD series, available from 42.audio, Beyma dealer in Germany, with datasheet and full specifications in the driver database.
At 42.audio you get the BEYMA TD-460/N with all key data in the driver database. More drivers from this manufacturer: Atlas Beyma.
