Article: The Why and How of Horn Loudspeakers

Recommended Posts

In the frame below is an article regarding the theory of horn loudspeakers. There is quite a bit of math. It still is educational and even the math challenged will find something interesting.

Best,

Gil

Hi all ,new here just found out that clicking 'rich text' deletes all your previously written message 9.gif Im an electrical student,and the physics of audio is my passion.

Excellent horn info. Its great when the few who do have the info share it. Note that alot of the good articles on horns are old - and finding them in Wireless World etc takes some time.

This article is written in 'audio' magazine?

Im really wanting Olsens acoustic engineering book on cd..Its a good time to buy it however the NZ dollar is high.

More info for those who are interested.

ABSTRACT

A boundary element model is used to analyse a folded horn. Results from the boundary element model are

compared to measurements of the throat radiation impedance and the far-field acoustic response. Further analysis

shows how one-dimensional and lumped parameter models can be derived from the boundary element results, and

used to gain insight into the behaviour of the folded horn loudspeaker system. It is shown that one type of folded

horn behaves more like a vented-box than a traditional horn-loaded loudspeaker system.
