Thanks to the MCT horn’s asymmetrical directivity,
two LINEAR 5 LTS units can be set up together in an
”acoustically correct” head stack.
Here’s a simplified run-down of how it works: the MCT splits the
wave-front into nine small wave-fronts. Each of these partial waves
is directed through the flaring duct of a horn of dierent length and
mouth size. These horns don’t have acres of real estate that can
cause interference, so the only distortion they generate is beyond
the range of human hearing. This increases useful sound pressure by
up to 10dB.
HK Audio engineers took up the challenge of reinventing the long
throw speaker and came up with a ground-breaking solution: the
Multicell Transformer (MCT). This ingenious invention makes the
most of horns’ and waveguides’ physical advantages, with none of
the drawbacks. The mouths of the nine horn channels form a line
array, with sound traveling down channels of dierent lengths to
achieve dierent delay times. This yields a perfect vertical curve and
a very precise +5°/-25° pattern of throw.
With these unique properties, the MCT achieves the performance
of comparable horns and waveguides at a fraction of their size.
This revolutionary advance in technology is the key to building
sensationally small and streamlined speakers.
