Since I last posted there has been some progress to my indoor and my outdoor systems. Indoors I have added a pair of tapped subs. I must say that I am quite happy with these. Of course they are not as good as full size front loaded horns but still a ...

Hi Romy, Sunfire? No! Who would add a Sunfire to this system? The black box in the pictures a power amplifier for the midbass horn. A second MF could be interesting. I will see if we can do some test set up of this. Per has the space for it...

Hi Paul, The L.Cao are quite nice fullrange drivers at a reasonable price. Compared to Lowther EX the L.Cao lacks some dynamics but have a better tone and are more homogeneous. I am no fan of whizzer cones. To use it as a midrang...

Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: Phase plug for midbass in Horn-Loaded Speakers  23 Replies 
Dear Malinowski,The basic idea for phase plugs is that the sound from all points of the diaphragm should  arrive to the throat at the same time. For the midbass horn we only used a simple one slit plug. If you feel up to it you could make a more...

Dear Romy,OK, some more about the midbass.Well, it was not really a surprise to us that the horn without the phase plug was dissapointing. Without the plug we had a horn that was a bit too short, had too large front cavity and less compression than w...

Let me tell you a bit about how an why we designed the midbass horns the way we did.A few years ago we discovered the tractrix horn for MF use. It was really the most important improvement so far. No more honking exponential horn sound.The improvemen...

Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: Phase plug for midbass in Horn-Loaded Speakers  23 Replies 
Dear Romy, well the horns are actually not designed for HF. The intended working range is up to 5-700. But since we use low Q, only second order filters we want to have a rather large overlap in the crossover region and a fairly even pattern over ...

One advantage of the use of a phase plug in a midbass horn is that it will beam less at higher frequenzies than a horn without phase plug. If the phase plug is designed for the specific horn and driver it will help "steer" the HF. Me and a friend ...
