History

In late 2006 – ’07 a small group of enthusiasts collaborated to develop a compact, inexpensive corner-horn design for the DIY community. This project became the very successful Frugel-Horn, which even spawned an extremely expensive commercial adaptation. The Frugel-horn Mk3 [FH3], a ground-up new design, followed and has been a very successful design with many 100s of builds. The FH3 led to many requests for a similar cabinet for larger drivers. That led to the Frugel-Horn XL [FHxl]. Now we introduce the Frugel-Horn Lite [FHL}, a smaller horn for 3” drivers.

Technical

Initially designed and tested for the Fostex FF85wk, it has been simulated for other drivers and like the FH3 and FHxl should find itself suitable for a wide range of drivers. Currently vetted drivers: Fostex FF85wk, Fountek FR88ex, FR89ex, FE85, Vifa TC9FD, AuraSound NS3, most 3” Tang Band units (some with the huge motors may have some clearance issues), Mark Audio Alpair 6.2 M & P (will require a supraBaffle to fit big bezel), ScanSpeak 10F

FHL is made freely available for DIY builders to make their own cabinets; we see it as an introduction to back-loaded horns, from which people may wish in future to move on to larger and / or more complicated designs.
