I have explored the subject of tapped horns. My exploration did not include listening them – ridicules, isn’t it? I did consult with a few folks, who I respect and who built and heard many of them and who know subject well. I pretty much know what I ...

[quote user="oxric"]If it were me and I had that basement that could be made use of, I would seek to achieve what you have done with your mid-bass horns in the loft. I know that you considered and dismissed the tapped horn idea some time ago but ...

MoreartDouble-driver "back horns"? I am not sure what you are asking about, or what exactly you are promoting, but I do not agree with lightweight, square-section horns, because I have never heard one that worked, apart from shifting certain frequen...

I understand all disadvantages going digital.
I strongly believe that minimal influence to the signal is the most important aspect.
And influences in digital domain are usually terrible.
But I'm not sure what other options available....

user="kodomo"]I don't think you can align the tapped horn. My tapped
horn has a total length around 5 metres. To time align that with my other drivers,
its got to be around 5 metres closer than others. The only other solution is
delaying t...

Yes, when I move the drivers or for that matter if I move my listening position, I realign.What I hear and measure about the drivers relative distances to each other is this. When I first set up the drivers, one horn ended and the next one started, t...

Sarurntube, I am quite curious about the mysterious tapped horns these days. What are the physical dimensions and power requirements of your tapped horns? Are they 1/4 or 1/8 wave horns? Do you use a FR amp or a sub-only amp to drive them? Do you...

Well, be afraid to get what you wish people say and it is exactly what happens in this thread: last week I expressed curiosity about the tapped horns and today I have more information about them than I wished. I appreciate John, Robert, Tom and ...

There are at least three benefits of using a compression chamber in a tapped horn design.1.) When using push-pull woofers with a compression chamber second order distortion is cancelled. This effect is very audible. You must hear it to understand...

Sitting here enjoying a Miller Genuine Draft (with slice of lemon!).
Today, spent a lazy 2 hours building the new 30Hz Tapped Horn sub. Oh so easy. All panels pre-cut by supplier...just drew them up, glued and clamped. Tomorrow I'l...

[quote user="serenechaos"]I built a pair of tapped horns, as per John Hasquin, designed to integrate w/ mid-bass horns (cross over ~ 70-80 hz). Loaded in the corners, the low bass is well supported, and, they "dissapear" sonicaly. By that, I mean, ...

I think it might be very interesting to introduce the high-pass filtration for tapped horn and to see how it behaves. It is not only about thermal overload and restriction of excursion. The unloading of none-used bass generally clean-up the transpare...

[quote user="Kcct82"]I didn't use John Hasquin's tapped horn design, I modeled my own in hornresp for my TAD woofer. I knew I would only need it up to ~55Hz so I was happy to have it flat from 23Hz-70Hz. The lowest crossover point for Behringer DCX 2...

Yes, tapped horns are lower efficiency, mine are 105 dB (not 108 - 110 dB like the rest of the system). I don't even KNOW that SET or Class A is automatically appropriate for tapped horns... Something like op amp driven PP in class AB might even wo...

Guest napping now from 16 hrs jet lag, so I have a moment...Jorge, you raise an interesting point about THs. I may be incorrect in assuming THs sound worse as they play higher in freq. Perhaps instead the limitation is one of narrow bandwidth rathe...

Hi,I dont use my tapped horns any longer because of the annoying peaks above the usable frequency range. Some how they managed to excite a room node at 60Hz that none of the other bass solutions I have tried messed with. They also didnt have the outp...

Murat,
I am not qualified to talk credibly
about Tapped Horns. I know that they get a lot of traction now around audio
people but I am, without listening a good example of it, am not so warm to the Tapped
Horn idea. The comments of yours that y...

As I understand the tapped horns have very small output whole, right? Here is a cool configuration for the folks who have suspended floors and would like to have a relatively large tapped horn do not take a lot of space in room – install the ta...

Looking that my attic place is very much triangle I am contemplating an experiment with triangular horn. The idea that lead me there was Balalaika. Balalaika is Russian 3-strings musical instruments that has unique sound. One of the attribute of ...

It kind of said the Massachusetts is very much not “horny” state and there is not a lot of enthusiasts of horn loading live in Massachusetts or in the entire New England. If we New Englanders have the saturation of horn interest as high as California...

[quote user="JLH"] One of the things that is not talked about with tapped horns is they are more directional than a normal subwoofer. They do not excite the entire room with omnidirectional sound. [/quote]
John,
this is serious drawback I...

Again, I am not in position to make any judgment about the Tapped Horn as I still do not know if it is produce faulty sound or not but from design perspective a Tapped Horn opens some interesting design possibility. If the horn is large then it still...

Thank you for comments.I agree with front-baffle concerns.I'll redesign it.But I'm still thinking to keep Tapped Horn integrated somehow to the whole setup and may be use RoomCorrection, but only for Tapped Horn (20-50Hz).Another problem with Tapped ...
