Josh,

Hope you have time enjoying your horns and new production Fane 8ms when not busy getting our world into more financial woe! Your query reminds me that it has been a long time I have not updated this thread and I am posting some of the latest pictures detailing the most recent development on the LVframe and UB115 horns. I try to share my time between the UK and France but it is true that Russ, my hornmaker maestro is based in the UK, half-way between Leeds and Sheffield. Still, if you are looking for a stress free solution to your need for a frame, I would suggest you contact Russ to discuss your needs.

The red you see in the photos is much darker in reality but flash photography makes that red looks lighter than it really is. One can see at the link below the Garnet Symphony 2 colour by Dulux, which is a deep red I was looking for to remind me of fine ruby red which I will also use to paint one feature wall in the room where the Rakeshorns system will eventually be in use: http://www.dulux.co.uk/colour/garnet_symphony_2

So here are the very latest pictures:



Cut-out in horn for supporting adjustable rail


Adjustable Panzerholz rail


Panzerholz rail sited in front rail on frame


Supporting rail unobtrusive but enables both front to back and height adjustments


Mast with sample rods, black anodised one will be used (to be calibrated - somehow)
Deep Red inside horn more like actual colour of horns once three more coats applied


Nice feature: how curve at the front of leg echoes the curve of the horn

All in all, the pictures above give a good idea of the number of features that one might want to incorporate in the design of a frame for a multi-channel acoustic system such as the one I am working on. There is still a long way to go although I have made progress in other aspects of this project but these will have to wait for their own threads in due course.

Best regards
Rakesh
