Accessory Horns from Ultimax

First look November 2009

Contents of the video

Alright folks, bit of a video demo on these guys here. There's one on that side and there's one on that side. Now they're from a company called Ultimax and they're known as Accessory Horns. Now on that guy there I've got a speaker from Intimidation and that guy there that's a powered speaker from Gemini. Now I will be using these in future videos and also in gig logs because I like the idea of not having to have cables all over the place. Now one very important factor here These are for small speakers. I would say a maximum of up to, say, a 10 and a horn. Any higher and it could be too heavy, but ideally for smaller speakers. If you think about it logically as well, if you've got a set of 10 and horn or maybe even 8 and horn, all you need is a bass cab, wang underneath you, and there you go. You've got a full range system. Now, one of the advantages that is self-explanatory really, if you think about it, that's powered.

So in a sense, I just have an audio cable from there going straight up across to the powered speaker and logically the power supply or the power cable. So you haven't got any cables going on the floor at all. Same with that side. All right, that's non-powered. So you'd go from your mixer into your amplifier, out your amplifier, up into the non-powered speaker. So in other words, no cables at all on the floor. Right, what I'm going to do now is pause the camera and we'll have a closer look. Right, there you go. I think that area there is self-explanatory. Basically, they are for securing purposes and you can move it up or down. So, no problem, you can have it any height you want really. Right, what I'm going to do now is take the speaker off. There you go. That is it. I mean, it is so simple. Right, I've just moved it around a bit. The reason being is if you imagine now, that's where the speaker was initially, there. But in a sense, by putting it there,

You could have the speaker facing you, so it's now your monitor. So in a sense, if you've got a huge PA system, you've got your main PA system chucking a heap of wattage at the crowd and you've got a little monitor system there just for you. Right, there you go. In my mad eccentric way to give you an idea of size, there's an eaten packet of Hobnobs. Now what I'll do, I'll put a clickable link in the description that will take you to the Ultimax website as well. Alright, so yeah, thanks for watching and by the way, like I said, I'm going to be using these in gig logs, so I'm going to give them a bit of a run for their money. Practice and enjoy.
