The Hyperion Horn
It covers the range from 300 Hz up to 20 kHz in one large coaxial installation. The combination of the large midrange, dual throat horn, and the Hesperidean HT25-7040 offers an outstanding sound experience. Combined with a specific bass solution of your choice, you will get a perfect and unforgettable sound, a horn speaker with a unique design, and remarkable craftsmanship.
What makes it so special ?
There are many unique features and details that define the sound and design. Let’s start with the most important part!
The Sound
The coaxial installation of both horns is a standout feature. The Hesperidean HT25-7040 is set on the axis with the midrange horn, which is unique in the world of horns and of utmost importance! The dual-throat horn delivers a symmetric sound dispersion, which is fundamental for an even sound experience. Due to the dual slit, the Hyperion provides an even sound range and coverage from 300 Hz up to 5 kHz. The compression driver Elysio HD-1 reproduces sound linearly from about 150 Hz up to 5 kHz with very low distortion and a wide range, but we go even further and use two drivers per horn. The benefit is half the distortion.
Our Elysio Hesperidean HT25-7040 horn tweeter is the base for decent high-frequency reproduction, smooth, clear, and even in dispersion of its entire range, from 3 kHz up to 20 kHz.

The Design
The most dominant design element is the coaxial position of the Elysio Hesperidean HT25-7040 horn and the dual-throat horn. This has acoustical reasons and thus dictates the form, which follows the function.
For us, it was an opportunity to create a unique and outstanding horn speaker. It combines several aspects of functionality for sound reproduction and usability.
The usability was accomplished with a universal mounting system that makes it possible to use the horn in different situations, like on top of a bass cabinet, mounted on a bass wall, or on a tripod for varying room positions
Materials
The Hyperion horn is a unique combination of materials, including steel, wood, and brass, which offer endless possibilities for customization. From veneer and lacquer finishes to individualized parts, you can create a truly one-of-a-kind piece that is both special and unique.
Bass solution
Elysio Hornspeaker offers a variety of bass solutions, including simple yet versatile bass cabinets, massive bass walls, and room-sized bass horns. Our favorite bass system is a closed system, which can be used for both simple bass cabinets and huge front-loading bass horns. Bass walls and bass horns can be seamlessly integrated into your interior design, as shown in the pictures below.
Mounting systems
The Hyperion horn can be mounted on four different mounts. Tripod, Bass cabinet, Wall mount, Celling skid.
The Tripod option provides greater flexibility and allows for easier adaptation to your unique room setup
The bass enclosure mount creates a close connection between the Hyperion horn and your bass cabinet. This is particularly effective when combined with the Atlas 2 bass cabinet
The wall mount is an optimal solution for tight room situations, as it can be swiveled by up to 60 degrees. It is particularly effective when combined with the Atlas 10 bass wall, providing a space-saving yet powerful and immersive sound experience.
