Danley Enters the Column Speaker Market with the SBH-10 "Skinny Big Horn"Danley Sound Labs broke into the house of worship market by skirting convention with its patented Synergy Horn and Tapped Horn technologies and is currently targeting the sporting arena market with its unique Genesis and Jericho Horns. The company says the recipe is easy to explain but almost impossible for anyone without Tom Danley's unique acoustics background to pull off: Danley starts back at the fundamental physics of loudspeaker design to overcome trade-offs that are inherent to conventional designs. So it is again with column speakers. The new Danley SBH-10 "Skinny Big Horn," uses Danley's patented Paraline technologies to deliver the aesthetic benefits of a column speaker but with greater fidelity, superior pattern control, no spurious lobes, and no requirement for complicated signal processing. At a weight of 100lb and with dimensions of 60" x 9" x 9", the SBH-10 is composed of eight 5" coaxial drivers and acts as a single large Synergy Horn with the directivity of a horn over 25'. Its coverage pattern measures 140- x 10-degrees, and its frequency response extends from 77Hz to 15kHz, +/-3dB. "Danley's new Skinny Big Horn series meets the aesthetic desire for a low profile column shape," said Mike Hedden, president of Danley Sound Labs. "But shape is where the similarities between conventional column speakers and the Danley Skinny Big Horn end. Using our patented Paraline technology, the SBH-10 has the directivity of a 25' long horn, yet it is only 9" deep! Moreover, due to horn loading, the SBH-10 has a sensitivity of 99dB, which is 10dB greater than similar sized cone-loaded products, and because it has such a high power handling rating, is capable of close to 20dB greater output when compared to similarly sized, front-loaded designs. The Danley Skinny Big Horn is a technological leap: no spurious lobes, forward directivity that other manufacturers can only dream of which allows it to even be flown away from a boundary, extremely tight vertical coverage, wide horizontal coverage, and -- most importantly -- audiophile fidelity. If all that weren't enough, the SBH-10 requires only one amplifier channel and no special signal processing." There's a new player in the column loudspeaker market. The SBH-10 and the company says it's not even a column, it's a Skinny Big Horn! See the YouTube video where Doug Jones explains the technology from Danley Sound Labs: http://youtu.be/b8cX5Xs_vZg.
