I distinctly remember hearing someone talk about a "High Power Wedge" being on show for Danley Sound Labs at InfoComm 2011.
Anyone know anything about this?

Danley "High Power Wedge" on InfoComm?

Re: Danley "High Power Wedge" on InfoComm?
Yes the prototype was at Infocomm. It is not available for purchase yet. We are in the process (it is a multistep process that involves several different companies) of getting the horn mold made.
Once we have the mold made-the actual horns are made in house. Since we are at the mercy of "others", I suspect late summer before it will become available.
It would be more of a high output, rather than a high power loudspeaker. Sensitivity is your friend. The power would be in the "medium" range.

If you were in the Danley demo room I believe the prototype was being used for the mic during demos.

As long as they're Made in USA, I'd be happy.
Re: Danley "High Power Wedge" on InfoComm?
I don't know how much they got played during the demos-as I was stuck out on the floor.
You are correct. However the SM80, (portable PA on a stick) also uses the same horn/driver/crossover, just a different cabinet and tuning as the new wedge.

Re: Danley "High Power Wedge" on InfoComm?
The cabinet assembly/cutting/testing along with the horn molding and the crossover building (using US circuit boards) is done down here in the South.
At least most of it is "made in the USA". The parts that are imported are the wood (from the Baltic), the driver (from Italy), and some of the crossover parts (capacitors and some resistors from China).

Yes - bad choice of words on my behalf, when talking on the subject of speakers. When I said "power" I meant it not in the electrical sense, but just as in "powerful".
But can you reveal a little about what kind of size, weight and SPL we're talking about here? And what driver compliment?

Re: Danley "High Power Wedge" on InfoComm?
SPL should be in the 130+ range (and that is not playing the 6db peak "game"). We will see where the final numbers come in when it final design is done. The one at Infocomm is one that I formed/made the horn for-so it is not as "perfect" as I would have liked. The production one will be much better. The ones at Infocomm were are "proof of concept" thing.
Weight is around 50lbs with a 13 ply baltic birch cabinet (not molded plastic) with a full metal grill on the front.
Pattern is 80x80
The size on the PA on a stick is around 22"x23"x 15" or so deep. The whole front is the horn.
The driver is a neo 12" coax that has the equivilent of a 1.4" HF driver.
It is the full horn loading of both the woofer and the HF that gives us the high sensitivity-and of course the pattern control.

Sounds as though this may be the same driver as I was suggesting for the DIY Coaxial Wedge project here. Nice driver, with full horn loading it should have impressive performance. I'd love to hear this in your box Ivan.
