Altering the HF horn dispersion

The E3 HF horn can be rotated through 90°. Two dispersion angles, 90°
and 60°, are engraved on the flange. The value on the horizontal edge
indicates the loudspeaker's horizontal dispersion angle. 

Tools required: Phillips screwdriver, 3 mm Allen key.

- Remove the front grill by undoing the two Allen screws (M4x25 mm)

at the top and bottom of the grill.

- Undo the four Allen screws (M4x25 mm) which hold the horn in place

and rotate the horn through 90°.

NOTICE:

 Ensure the gasket of the horn is in the correct position.

- Refasten the horn and refit the front grill.
