A "horn + tweeter" format designed for projection
The Eminence APT 80 fits within the concept of horn-loaded solutions intended to provide controlled projection of high frequencies. This type of assembly is highly appreciated when seeking a pronounced presence in the mix, good intelligibility, and even dispersion, especially in speaker configurations where efficiency and directivity are as important as frequency response.
With its 80 deg conical horn, the APT 80 aims for a simple and effective balance: wide and consistent coverage while retaining the typical impact of horn tweeters. This approach is particularly relevant for compact speaker designs, stage monitors, or certain DIY projects where a complete, coherent, and easy-to-integrate solution is desired.
Intended uses and target users
This tweeter is intended for musicians, technicians, and speaker manufacturers who want to add air and definition above the midrange without sacrificing sensitivity. It is well suited for passive sound reinforcement speakers, custom cabinet projects, and identical replacements when a horn/tweeter assembly of similar dimensions is required.
Thanks to its high sensitivity, the APT 80 is ideal if you want to achieve a high output level with reasonable amplifier power, or if you want to balance a system already very efficient in the low/midrange. It will also be appreciated in contexts where clarity of attacks (percussion, vocals, guitars, keyboards) is a priority, while maintaining sufficiently wide dispersion to cover a listening area without overly pronounced "hot spots."

Questions frequently asked
What cutoff frequency should be used with the Eminence APT 80?
The recommended cutoff frequency is 3.5 kHz. An appropriate filter should keep the tweeter above this threshold to preserve its power handling.
What RMS power can this horn tweeter handle?
The power rating is 45 W RMS with a cutoff at 3.5 kHz. It reaches 85 W RMS when the cutoff is set at 5 kHz.
What is the dispersion of the horn?
The conical horn provides a coverage angle of 80°. This coverage ensures wide treble dispersion with controlled directivity.
Is this tweeter suitable for a passive sound reinforcement speaker?
With a sensitivity of 105 dB (1 W / 1 m), this model integrates into passive speakers requiring effective highs. Its frequency response ranges from 3.5 kHz to 20 kHz to enhance definition above the midrange. The assembly pairs an APT 50 tweeter with an 80° conical horn.
What dimensions should be planned for mounting the APT 80?
Mounting requires a baffle cutout of 80 mm. The front panel measures 87 x 87 mm, and the depth is 73.6 mm.
