Model 18MBH70

18-inch bandpass horn built to ride on top of big FLH sub stacks.

The Cannon is an 18" straight bandpass horn engineered for exceptionally high sensitivity and an extended low-mid range. Designed to complement large stacks of front-loaded horn subwoofers, it provides high-SPL reinforcement in the 65-225 Hz passband, an ideal weapon for high-impact dance music and live sound. Its compact trapezoid design stacks cleanly and runs passive. Hand-built by Hennessey Sound Design in Massachusetts, and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Buyer research

Questions buyers ask about the Cannon

Common pre-purchase questions on the HSD Cannon.

What is the Cannon designed to do?

One job, done properly: ride on top of large front-loaded-horn subwoofer stacks and reinforce the 65–220 Hz band at very high sensitivity. Its straight bandpass horn and compact trapezoid shape stack cleanly on FLH subs, and its extended low-mid reach gives dance music and live sound their physical punch.

What amplifier drives the Cannon?

1,200 W continuous (2,400 W program) at 8 ohms nominal. Two Cannons in parallel present 4 ohms and 2,400 W combined, an almost exact match for one 2,500 W channel of the HSD KP Series 4-10KP or KD Series 4-10KD. A four-channel amp runs eight Cannons.

What is the classic Cannon deployment?

The signature HSD wall: Mantarray 60 point-source tops over Cannons over BattleAxe 21″ subs. The Mantarray covers 200 Hz up, the Cannon owns 65–220 Hz, and the BattleAxe digs to the mid-20s, three horn-loaded layers, each doing one band well.

Does the Cannon work with the Battlehawk and Sherman too?

Yes. Any large FLH sub stack benefits: Battlehawk, Sherman, or Warhammer bases all cross naturally into the Cannon's passband, and the trapezoid cabinet is made to sit on top of them.
