This seems like an appropriate place to share my latest thoughts about Macondo copying!I thought I built almost copies of the Macondo upperbass horns, yet I've really only achieved quite questionable results. Impressive from time to time, but never f...

Oh well.. I'd really like to save the horns. I appreciate your offer to help out!Still no measurements, but this can start the trouble shooting...CONSTRUCTIONFirst I refreshed my memory of exactly what I built. They certainly are far from being copie...

Hi James,
Theoretically a straight 33 feet long mono subhorn with the drivers at one end of the room and the mouth exiting the floor at the other end would probably cover from 10Hz to 30Hz with no problem, with the apropriate drivers.
I don't hav...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"]Thanks for your kind remarks but the proof of the cook is in the pudding, if you are ever on the west coast you should drop by and have a taste. [/quote] Sure, if I go to SF then I might visit you, in fact there are quite a ...

Probably not one subject among horn enthusiasts does not arouse as much fantasies as midbass horns. This subject in one way or another was discussed at my site (look for the linked threads) but I would light look at the subject of the Midbass ho...

Hi Romy,
Won't work with row houses but....Suburbs close to the city don't have much space around here, but often have a patch of useless lawn (unless you plan on a McMansion, whereby your house should cover every possbile square centermeter o...

Jessie, if it is any encouragement you would have at least one client.Would it not be much less difficult and expensive to produce horn moulds if each horn was an assembly of identical sub-components? The idea is to segment the horn longitudinally in...
|
|
Dominik, Jessie is right - it is irrelevant the precession of your profile if you horn does not go to high into HF. The LF gain of upperbass horn happens in the first half of horn anyhow. I do not insists that I am right but I have a hypothesis that ...

I do not completely agree with you. You see, I do not feel that stressing of “physics and geometry“or “scientific concepts” leads to anywhere. In fact I generally do not feel that knowledge itself worth a lot. I value much more a presence of a common...
|
|
Well, I was thinking that there might be something of a "shock wave" created if they run too low, and the pillows might soften that up, almost as though one were trying to get the horn to behave more like a direct radiator at LF, where there is not e...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

The horns that Stereo Lab make are very good, especially considering the relatively modest prices. I bought the "Ultra-Fi" version of the 140Hz horns and they are of course not completely free of resonance - JLH's and Romy's massive horns are cer...

There was yesterday somebody at the Audio Asylum sewers, asked about possibility of building a multi-way horn installation but he did not want to cut own horns. I posted a reply that the AA dirt of course was vandalized. I intended it to and replay p...

The sand/resin composite idea is superb I think: I have seen a brand (Ceram-kote, I think) used in interior design, and it is relatively easy to handle. Perhaps one could spin it on a pottery wheel if one could find a version that did not bind ...

Be,
I do not think that effect you describe has anything to do with demand of horns have strictly parallel axis. I also came across to some situations where the extremely indirect sound was superbly interesting but it is I feel is very different su...

I was not there! But I like the idea of the halved horn. Does that work? Seems to me it creates a huge wavefront discontinuity. Clever in terms of usability, anyway. Also, the pillows. They have to be messing with ...

[quote user="Kcct82"] I know you're not a big fan of digital delay, but I'm using behringer DCX 2496 to make things easier... this way I get to keep all horn mouths on the same plane which avoids some reflections (from other horn mouths). [/quote]

Actually, for me it works differently. I do not read a lot about horns and try do NOT learning anything about horns. I very much do not take seriously also most of the things that people talk about horns on internet. People run mouth on any subject ...

I have received some questions and criticism about tapped horns. In order to spread a better understand of tapped horns, I’ll restate the questions and try to answer them.
1.) The mouth of the tapped horn is too small to be useful.

All that I will be saying are the subject of my own experience with horns and my personal observations. You shouldn’t agree and most likely you will not. That is fine with me. I have lot of reasons behind what I will be saying and opened for some cla...

Interesting topic. Anyone going the digital x-over route should keep in mind that if you just put a digital x-over into an existing system you are going to be disapointed, and I don't care what brand crossover you are using. You have to get the level...
