Hello,
i made a new construction

simpler as an SAXOPHONE
and less wood than an RDH20

opinions?

Hi,

are both horns with their drivers optimized to balance their
impedances in a way to be a more resistive load than a single
one would be ?

An impedance plot of either of the single drivers and both connected
in parallel would be interesting to see in how far the motional
parts of the driver impedances are balancing.

The folding looks nice indeed.


Kind Regards
 
A question:

Have you experimented with a resistive vent
connecting the throats of both horns behind
the driver chamber ?

Would it make sense ?

Pictures are an offspin i made from a cabinet called
"SIKLONE" from Graham Maynard.

That kind of enclosure could be tuned to exhibit
a very similar impedance plot like the free air
impedance of both drivers in parallel and had a
very well balanced bass performance. Not comparable
to your horns due to efficiency of course.

Kind Regards

Hi rjbond3rd
look the Kornett simulation (last one),
i construct it with a view on the membran movement.
Most double horns are 1,4-1,7 m and 2,55 m.

The idea is that the horns have different peaks and dips and fill in each other's weak points.
