Hey Romy, One rather simple acoustic solution would be to use a quarter wave stub. This is about the closest acoustic analog to an electrical notch filter. I believe JBL used  this trick in their 'Aquarius' speaker to remove a peak in the ...

Yes, but if you could make it broadband enough, it might function effectively as a filter. IE, remove a broad notch from 300 to the mass rolloff of the horn. Just thinking aloud. What about a front compression chamber? That would seemingly be the ...

There is a quandary that I can’t resolve. There is a hypothetical horn-loaded chanall operating for instance flat form 100Hz to 5000Hz. Presumably I need to cut this channel off at 300Hz, very sharp-with 3-4 acoustical orders, but according to the ...
