Klaus, I like your view on the applied horn math. There are a lot of people who use a lot of not-useful math for horns – I never understood it and never considered it necessary. Your circulation of Throat’s space vs. mouth space does make sense. In fact what you are trying to do is what I processed a few years ago. I did not go for doing it but somebody who has opportunities and desire to leave a mark on the subject need to come up something like this. Let me explain what it is.

We have a good algorithm that perfectly correct predicts the tratrix horn rate from the mouth and throat sizes.

What however we do not have is an objective tool that depict the amount of pure horn equalization vs. direct sound from a driver though the norm. It would be very easy to do in the same Excel - if to have or to know how to obtain the data. I would like to input the diameter of mouth rate, horn profile and driver resonance and I would like to see wee 3 curves. First parabola will be the rate of change of horn gains (emulation) with the change of throat’s size. The second I would like to see the rate of distortion change with the change of the throat’s size. Third (A & B) I would like to see rate of distortion change with change the frequency with which the horn get high-passed and low-passed.

Unfortunately we do not have this data properly accumulated and interpreted.

Rgs, Romy
