Hallo, what´s the difference between a HC-15 and HC -12 Allen speakers?

HC-12 is a sealed system, with dual midrange drivers; HC-15 is a ported system with a single midrange driver. The HC-12 has 6 dB per octave crossover; the HC-15 is 12 dB per octave. The HC-15 appears to have a slightly higher bass to midrange crossover point, though the design does not follow any midrange topology I am familiar with.
The HC-12 will go lower, and has a fatter bass sound; the HC-15 is flatter in low frequency response and enough so that Allen add a bass boost circuit for some channels that have 16' flue stops that go through HC-15's. I believe the HC-15 is slightly higher efficiency.
The HC-12 is sometimes used for 32' pedal Contra Bourdon stop with marginal performance on the bottom notes. -
Toodles,
Couldn't have provided better information myself. I learn something from everything you post. Thanks for the detail on the dB/octave on the crossovers.
MichaelWay too many organs to list, but I do have 5 Allens:- MOS-2 Model 505-B / ADC-4300-DK / ADC-5400 / ADC-6000 (Symphony) / ADC-8000DKC
