WH10 CD vs Peizo

[Keryn O'Shea]

G'day gents,
I'm about to head into WH builds, with the 10 first up.
Can anyone shed light on pros & cons of the CD HF option?
Would l be right to say the WH10 (MA+2510) fitted with a pole mount, could do double duty as a top for a pair of subs? If you're just looking for background music at a gathering, lower level PA.

You can use it in both applications with either configuration. The difference is width of the dispersion angle.

[Keryn O'Shea]

Excellent
Would the order for widest to narrowest WH HF dispersion be: Panel- Melded- CD?
Is the reason for omitting the WH10 CD horn second flare building ease, or close distance to the performer?
Could the WH8 be stretched to low level top duty also, crossing over at 110Hz?

[Bill Fitzmaurice]

Yes to all.

[Keryn O'Shea]

More great news, thank you very much mate!

[Keryn O'Shea]

I'm thinking of adding the second flare and diffuser rod to the the WH10 CD horn, as l have enough stock of GT1016s to complete pairs of the WH8 & 6, but not all three models of WH.
Reason being 1016s end up at around Au$8ea to us, & l have plenty of CDs here. I'd prefer not to use the Daichi 1016 version available to us here.
Would the loss of horizontal dispersion using CDs vs MA be large? Keeping in mind, you'll have WH6&8s to use for the close monitoring also..

[Bill Fitzmaurice]

You can do that. I didn't bother as the somewhat higher sensitivity and wider dispersion tends to be not an issue when used as a floor wedge.
