Post Subject: What would be interesting in this room…Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/31/2010

…is to see how the Red Wall will load the room.  Following the context of my Imbedded Macro-Positioning subject:

it would be very interesting to see how the out from the read wall will relate to the acoustic pressure at the listening location. I would love it to be in “hot spot” and to get +6-10dB but you would never know. I did not bring RTA to the inspection and I do not know how that room works. If I lucky then in addition to 6-8dB of hyperbolic gain I will be able to get 6-8dB of room gain then it would be phenomenal.  15dB gain from 99dB sensitive driver it would be fantastic and I will be able to power it with 2W (I still intend to power it with 6C33C).

Also,  and this is the subject of my great interests, I wonder if there is any way to use the cathedral opening of the ceiling as a continuation of the horn. If I would be able to introduce the hone mouth at the perimeter of the cathedral ceiling then the cathedral opening would be a continuation of the horn curve. What I am thinking to try it to put a divider of 3-5 feet long in the middle of the cathedral ceiling axis. This divider would set a transition between the horn mouth and the cathedral pitch. If I am lucky then I might even go away with ¼ horn – I need to measure and to calculate the rate of the halt- cathedral opening. The picture below depicts the idea.
