BamaMike Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I poked around and I don't see this so thought I would ask... how big a corner does a KHorn require. ie- What is the distance from the corner in the room to the outside corner of the speaker that is against the wall?

Chris A Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The dimension that you show isn't quite enough, IMO. I believe you're talking about the 23 inch dimension of the Khorn itself. However, false corners are 48 inches each side - corresponding to about a 1/4 wavelength at 70 Hz.

BamaMike Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Aaahh... thanks so much. I have a room that is more than large enough BUT I lack this distance on one side due to a sliding door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Sliding glass doors outside of that Khorn 22-23 inch dimension are okay in my experience. You can insert a piece of waferboard or plywood between the short wall and the Khorn that is 22 inches long to stiffen the corner if the wall flexes too much.

BamaMike Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'll measure when I get home. I THINK I have the 22" over there. Not sure. The other 3 sides are no problem. Big room. 678 sq ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 As mentioned, the walls form the final part of the bass horn and the minimum length should be 48" to be ideal. However, don't let a less-than-ideal situation stop you from using Khorns, especially if your other three sides are good. You should still be able to get good results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I had similar problem....open space to dinning room so I made veneered piece of plywood to match the speaker and attached it to the speaker as in false corner. 32 wide x 39 tall only attached to bass bin. The end of the board from corner is 38 inches not ideal but seems to work good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J M O N Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Take a closer look -- the 27.5" dimension is the perpendicular distance from the front of the speaker to the corner of the wall. The 22" dimension is the length that the Khorn touches the side wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Sheeesh, my bad. I was looking at this on my phone... squint, squint. My apologies dirtmudd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
