Beyma TD1496P: large plastic horn rated 90 W AES for two-way PA
90 W AES and 1.2 kg – the Beyma TD1496P is a horn for two-way systems that carry a strong compression driver without dragging along the weight of a cast horn. In the TD series the P stands for the plastic body; that it still weighs 1.2 kg shows this is a horn with a large mouth and a correspondingly large wall area.
With the TD series Beyma offers horns and waveguides for PA and installation. The TD1496P is the combination of higher power class and larger plastic horn: meant for tops in which the HF section has to deliver real level while covering a wide area evenly. For weight-critical compact boxes the series has smaller models, for fixed installations heavier ones.
Use and enclosure
In a two-way top the TD1496P handles the high frequencies above a mid-woofer. The large mouth extends pattern control further down than compact horns do, which allows a lower crossover and a more even transition – provided the compression driver can follow. Take a driver from the Beyma range whose power handling suits the 90 W AES design and check exit diameter and mounting pattern beforehand in the 42.audio driver database, as neither is stored as an attribute for the horn.
The crossover should decouple the driver with a steep high-pass above its resonance; a limiter on the HF channel is sensible in this power class. Mount the horn at all provided points on a stiff baffle so the plastic body does not vibrate at high levels. If you need certainty about the directivity, measure the horn and driver combination in the finished cabinet – no datasheet PDF is on file for the TD1496P.
What to look out for
- Rated 90 W AES – designed for powerful Beyma compression drivers.
- Weight 1.2 kg with a plastic body: a large horn, plan for a solid baffle.
- Check the driver's throat size and bolt pattern before buying – no datasheet PDF on file.
- Large mouth: lower crossover possible, high-pass still steep and above driver resonance.
- A limiter on the HF channel protects the driver when the power reserve is used.
Frequently asked questions
Which systems is the TD1496P worth it for?
Two-way tops and installation speakers that need high HF level while covering a wide area evenly. The 90 W AES and the size of the horn suit strong compression drivers.
Which driver do I mount?
A Beyma compression driver with the exit diameter of the horn throat and a power rating in the region of the horn's. Check throat size and mounting pattern in the 42.audio driver database.
Plastic at 90 W AES – is that stable enough?
Yes, if the mounting is right. A large moulded horn weighing 1.2 kg has enough wall thickness to stay quiet at high sound pressure; what matters is a firm, stress-free bolting to a stiff baffle.
Beyma TD1496P: manufacturer, spellings and classification
Beyma and Acustica Beyma refer to the same manufacturer: Acústica Beyma S.L. of Moncada near Valencia, Spain. The TD1496P 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 TD1496P with all key data in the driver database. More drivers from this manufacturer: Atlas Beyma.
