I had a theory that the bug screen was helping to damp horn modes/refelctions caused by a mismatch between the S2 internal flare and the horn flare rate. I have 340Hz flare JMLC horns, which may be expected to give less of a mismatch than the smaller tractrix units Romy is using.
So I removed a screen yesterday. Only had time to listen briefly; there was more treble but now what sounded like like a resonance at a few kHZ that kicked in on strings, flute etc and made them, well, almost sqwawk and hiccup...
Anyone know what the internal flare rate of the S2 is? Martin Seddon is making me some 160Hz horns with 1.5" throat for a different application. Don't intend to use them with the S2 but would be an interesting experiment to see if the above behaviour is reduced.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
