Horn loaded Tang Band W4-1337SD?

Defo · 08:17 PM

Will this driver "work well" in a 50 cm spherical horn?

How will the dynamics be? Will it gain some "snap"?

I've been curious about this driver too, but have decided it is for small room systems only due to the lowish sensitivity. I would think it would be okay in a horn system, but it would depend a lot on the design and what you expected from it. I toyed with the idea of replacing the woofers in my trusty Optimus LX 4s with them and crossing over much higher to the tweeter, but have decided I have other fish to fry.

The horn has a cf around 400hz, so the driver will be crossed to a woofer below that. The lowish sensitivity isnt that much of a problem unless it highly affects dynamics. Hence the horn loading
