Hi Romy, I ended up using a TAD 1101h 11 inch driver, 97db, 38fs, and is what I believe a stronger cone than the Goto 8 inch. The DIY mid bass horn is a 1/2 space 53hz hyperbolic horn with 5in x 5in square throat. Length is about 8'6", height of mout...

Brass instruments function much differently than audio horns. First of all they are built extremely resonant by mismatching length and horn taper. The taper of the bell is there not for horn type efficiency, rather to change the acoustical length of ...

I am sorry folks for the post above. It turned out that poster “Kiom” is an impersonated “angeloitacare” – the celebrated idiots that should not be posting at this site. It kind of became suspicious since “Kiom” did not understand the price deviation...

In the past I would use plaster for creating a wax form.. then put the wax form into a s...

[quote user="haralanov"]Ironically or not, I have no practical problems with it, simply because I’m not using big UB horns. My upper bass channels are much more compact – 4 very massive 15” drivers with no horns. Their integration to my main widerang...

Generally, I do not think it is possible to put 60Hz horn under MF channel. You have a limited highs of MF and you need to put 60Hz under it. You have no room for circular horn and you have to go rectangular, mach wider then you want it to be. Then ...

I am currently planning high-WAF speakers for my sister which have to stand in the corners on the floor. Asking for small corner horns I was told the EV Baronet could be a solution. Simulating it with roughly estimated dimensions I found that the FR ...

[quote user="js"]Could anyone please advise me as to the recommended rear chamber volume for a Le C'leach horn with a throat of 240cm2, mouth of 7089cm2, length of 47cm, cutoff of 160Hz, T of 0.8? I'm thinking of using a Beyma 122Nd which has a sd o...

Jessie’s comments about my idea to position midbass straight horns from basement, upper- firing and his warning that the horn will get converted into a giant garbage can made me to think. I did not think about it but it is a reasonable concern. Hypo...

The target range is 40Hz to 400Hz. One JBL 2206H 12" drive (an alternative configuration is with two [2] 2206H drivers). Exponential. Interesting that you mention a J horn, and that the same could be achieved by two horns (as oppose...

Dresden,
So the first two could actually be just one actual build, with alternate rear chambers? Wouldn't you change the throat size, as well as the compression chamber size? Then arrive at your "optimized" compound horn design. Then yo...

Well, you see, the outer dimensions of the mouth of cause an indications of low end response and by objective evaluation of it is easy to estimate horn’s bass numbers. However, it is very far from “sufficient” assessment. A few years back I completel...

For those seeking some decent compression drivers that don`t cost fortune, I can suggest to try the Eighteen Sound ND1460A compression driver. It has aluminum dome and polyester suspension and 1,4 inch exit throat. Does it sound like S2 ? Probably no...

John, I am bit puzzled with your response. I do not know what would be a proper material for cone/dome of diaphragm. The source where “tone” is born in compression drivers is absolute mystery to me and I in my holly naiveté believe that no one else k...
