An Essential Format in Compression Driver Systems
The horn is one of the key elements of a sound reinforcement speaker: it channels the energy from the compression driver to improve reach and control dispersion. With its profile designed for a 70deg x 55deg coverage, this model fits within an "efficiency and control" approach, common in live sound, fixed installations, and stage monitors, when precise projection is preferred over very wide dispersion.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
This horn is aimed at integrators, sound technicians, speaker manufacturers, and demanding DIYers who want to optimize the directivity of a system. It is particularly suitable for rooms, stages, and spaces requiring well-defined coverage (centered audience, zones to avoid, reverberation constraints), as well as for speaker renovation projects or replacement of an original 1.4" horn.
Dispersion Control and Simplified Integration
70deg x 55deg Directivity: More Precise Placement
The 70deg x 55deg directivity allows for better "shaping" of the covered area: you reduce unwanted reflections and gain intelligibility, especially for vocals. This approach also facilitates speaker alignment in an installation (coherent coverage, better-controlled overlap).
Mechanical CutOff at 300 Hz: A Solid Basis for Design
The mechanical cutoff frequency (CutOff) at 300 Hz provides a clear reference point for filtering work and integration into a multi-way system, consistent with the use of a compression driver and a complementary woofer/midrange speaker.

Questions frequently asked
Is the B&C Speakers ME464 compatible with a 1.4 inch compression driver?
The 1.4" throat is designed for integration with a compression driver of this size. Mechanical compatibility with the chosen driver must be verified depending on its mounting system.
What angular coverage does this horn provide?
The specified directivity is 70° x 55°. This coverage allows targeting a defined listening area and limits off-axis reflections.
What crossover frequency should be used with the ME464?
The mechanical cutoff frequency is set at 300 Hz. This value provides a reference point for designing the crossover of a multi-way system. The choice of crossover frequency also depends on the associated compression driver and loudspeaker.
Is this horn suitable for fixed sound reinforcement installations?
Its dimensions of 575 x 505 x 460 mm and directivity of 70° x 55° meet the requirements for targeted coverage in rooms or on stage. The horn is also intended for speaker renovation projects.
What material is the ME464 horn made of?
The construction is polyurethane, with a transport weight of 4.8 kg.
