Cornwall 4 Speaker Mod - Pickleball Weights

The link below shows Pickleball Paddle weights on Amazon:

Pickleball Paddle Weights

These make effective dampeners on my Cornwall 4 midrange horns. The weights are self-stick and black on the show side which renders them discrete on the exterior of the black plastic horns. They do not permanently stick and can be removed for repositioning. The great advantage is that one does not have to remove the horns to damp them on their back sides, and the weights can be cut to any length/weight for fine adjustment and positioning.

The Cornwall tweeters do not work well with the paddleball weights. However, black gorilla tape does work. It can also be used to tweak the mid-range horns.

You're better off putting damping on the back side of the horn then inside the horn, inside you're effecting dispersion and damping the actual sound coming out of the horn, if you can hear it or not is subjective.  

I spent the time damping the back side of both horns (tweeters/midrange) with significant sound improvements so I will always recommend damping the back side. It's only a few screws on each not that hard to remove. I would also suggest damping the cabinet some as well. those Klipsch cabs are not that well damped at all, very boxy sounding.
