Post Subject: Another time aligned 5-way horn projectPosted by Murataltuev on: 8/12/2015

I would like to share my 5-way horn project. The idea was to have full range system, so the first horn built was Tapped Horn. I got design from Volvotreter.de and was really impressed with performance of this monster. 16hz is just true thunder in my room Smile

(I'm using them in HomeCinema system also). For the midrange I'm now using 2m length horn with CD which is capable to go down to 300Hz, so for the midBass (70-250hz in my case) I've designed straight 2m length with 1x1m month for 12" Supravox with help of 3D acoustic modeling software. For the midrange 2m length is may be too long, so I'm going to experiment with LeCleac'h 660mm length, 600mm mouth and 1.5" throat. HornResp model shows perfect curve from 250Hz for TAD2001. I have Thiele-Small parameters of this driver, but I'm still thinking about right driver for this range and going to decide after experimenting with say everything. I'm not limited in budget and going to try JBLs, Vitavox S2 and WE555 clone from LM. For the upper range I'm now experimenting with JBL LE085 and like the sound, but I'm going to try other drivers as well. And for the 12k+ range I'll use RAAL Lazy Ribbon 9" as this is the only option to get highs on 110+db speakers. At this stage this is the design of concept, so I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thank you, Murat
