In the Forum: Horn-Loaded Speakers
In the Thread: Bill Gaw: over 50 years of high-end audio experience and time aligned horns.
Post Subject: Yes to 400 Hz.Posted by Bill on: 10/30/2025
With Romy here, using the Trinnov altitude I could very quickly change crossover points and hear when I began to get horn honk. The woofers began at 47 hz. Which was great as they are supposed to be 50 Hz. Edgar designed. Th mids started honking below 400 so that,s where I placed their crossover. The mids started having a tizziness at about 11,000 Hz. Thus the 10,000 crossover to the Tannoy Red tweeters. Of course my hearing drops off like a stone above 9000 so am unsure whether I can hear the Tannoys. This allows the Vitavox-Edgar mids to take in 90% of the frequency band. With that the Trinnov through experimentation could time align all four of the frequency ranges of the  drivers both physically and electrically to millimeter precision, and then time align all of the 12 channels of speaker for the main listening chair. And to be able to do it sitting in my listening chair not moving a muscle or having to change out resistors or caps, shorten or lengthen inductors Or move speakers by millimeters to time align each to the listening position.So you are correct that for those whose speakers use digital only and probably those who don't mind bastardizing their analog through a to d conversion, dsp is the way to go. I envy Anthony as he starts down the long trail of realizing what the Trinnov will allow him to do. It took me four years of learning how to use the Trinnov to its fullest potential to get to what Romy and I hear now. I just wish I had the will and energy (and funds) to try Wave forming with the Trinnov. Good luck Anthony.Bill
