The Horn X2: The "Open Architecture" Horn Engine
Transform your loudspeakers.
No soldering. No modifications. Just pure physics.Most speakers suffer from the same bottleneck: the dome tweeter. It struggles with dynamics, compresses at high volume, and "beams" high frequencies like a laser.The Horn X2 is the solution. It is a standalone, high-performance "Horn Engine" that sits atop your existing cabinet, taking over the critical bandwidth above 1.5 kHz. It relieves your woofer of high-frequency strain, replacing the congestion of a dome tweeter with the effortless, room-filling dynamics of a professional compression driver.Engineered to Be Seen: Open-Architecture Design
The Horn X2 exposes its engineering on a solid hardwood plinth. There are no black boxes here—only premium components, point-to-point wiring, and mechanical precision.
-
Asymmetrical Crossover Technology: We utilize a Two-Way Second-Order Asymmetrical network. Unlike standard symmetrical crossovers, this advanced topology is calculated to slice the frequency response cleanly.
-
Zero Acoustic Overlap: The asymmetrical slope prevents the "muddy zone" where the horn and woofer fight for control, ensuring the woofer stops exactly where the horn begins.
Tunable Analog Control
Every room is different, and every woofer has a unique voice. The Horn X2 gives you total analog control via top-mounted, plug-in components—no tools required.
-
The Slope (Capacitor): Ships with a premium capacitor selected to approximate your woofer model. This defines the crossover slope. You can swap it later to fine-tune the blend point.
-
The Throttle (Resistors): We include three tuned resistors (Neutral, Bold, Relaxed) to tailor the output to your taste. Sensitivity is fully adjustable from 0 dB to 105 dB, allowing you to match everything from vintage high-efficiency cabinets to modern low-sensitivity towers.

Installation & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Do I need to remove my internal crossover?
A: No. You do not touch your internal crossover. The Horn X2 works upstream, utilizing its own low-pass filter to block high frequencies from reaching your old speaker. Your old tweeter naturally stays silent without being disconnected.
Q: Will this work with 3-way or 4-way speakers?
A: Yes. The Horn X2 takes command of everything above 1.5 kHz. On 3-way systems, this provides a massive upgrade by relieving your midrange driver of difficult upper frequencies, eliminating "cone breakup" and harshness.
