Dayton H6512
Manufacturers Info
Brand: Dayton Audio
Model: H6512
Style: Consistent Coverage
Coverage (H x V): 90 x 50
Minimum Frequency: 1000 Hz
Throat: 1"
Mounting Type: 1-3/8"-18 TPI
Dimensions: 12" W x 6.5" H x 4.25" D
Additional Notes:
Horn throat is slightly too large leading to a driver exit to throat mismatch which I have noticed on most of the Dayton Audio Horns and Waveguides.
This waveguide is a clone of the JBL 338800-001 progressive transition waveguide though the horn profile does not appear to be an exact copy of the JBL.
Measurements:

Final Notes:
Both horizontal and vertical dispersion appear to be slightly wider then rated I'd put it roughly 100 x 60 degrees. Horizontal coverage is constant over most of the range but there is some waist-banding just below 2k and the the throat diameter mismatch adds a kink in the top octave. The unbranded clone has a better throat size you can see the improvement is makes here.
