Sold as a pair, it takes the horn-loaded output of a Cicada compression motor and angles it toward the listening position — concentrating high-frequency energy on the rider rather than projecting it straight forward into empty space.

If your install has enough clearance for a standard-depth waveguide but the driver is pointing forward when the rider is above and behind it, the angled profile redirects the horn axis toward the seat — and that makes a substantial difference to what the rider actually hears at highway speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders using the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rr2tm\"\u003eRR2TM\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-rr3tm-3-inch-ring-radiator-tweeter-motor\"\u003eRR3TM\u003c\/a\u003e compression motor in a position where pointing the horn directly at the listening position would require an angle — saddlebag lids projecting up toward the rider, lower fairing positions aimed rearward, or any install where the mounting plane and the listening axis aren't naturally aligned.

The distinguishing feature is its built-in angle: rather than projecting straight out from the mounting plane, the horn throat is canted so the acoustic axis is redirected toward the rider's listening position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn the road: the practical result is that the total efficiency gain of horn-loading — already substantial — is fully delivered to the listener rather than partially wasted on misdirected off-axis output.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAngled Horn Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe angle is precision-engineered rather than arbitrary. It accounts for the typical relationship between saddlebag lid mounting planes and the seated rider position — ensuring that the horn axis, when the waveguide is correctly installed, projects directly toward ear height at the seat. The geometry also maintains consistent acoustic path length across the horn's cross-section, so frequency response remains even despite the redirected orientation. A crudely-angled horn introduces path length differences that generate phase issues at specific frequencies; the RR3WG-69A avoids this through careful cross-sectional design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn the road: the angled output doesn't just go toward the rider in a vague sense — at a correctly-installed angle, the full on-axis energy of the horn arrives at helmet height for both the rider and passenger.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThroat Geometry \u0026amp; Motor Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe throat is matched to the exit diameter of both the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rr2tm\"\u003eRR2TM\u003c\/a\u003e (2\" ferrite) and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-rr3tm-3-inch-ring-radiator-tweeter-motor\"\u003eRR3TM\u003c\/a\u003e (3\" neodymium) motors. Throat geometry determines acoustic loading — the relationship between the motor's exit pressure and the horn's flare rate controls efficiency, power handling, and frequency extension.
