Modeling stacked mid horns ?

[Paul W]

To extend tight vertical polar response lower in frequency -in a limited space- I'm considering stacking a pair of mid horns. (To prevent the pattern from becoming too tight in the upper mids, one would probably be rolled off lower in frequency than the second.)

What can I use to predict or, preferably, model the polar pattern? Any reasonably priced or free software available in the pro world?

Hornresponse:

Hornresp

In particular:

"Horns with multiple drivers and arrays of multiple loudspeakers can be modeled."

No crossover modeling however, but presumably you could use the polar model's "curves" and do some modeling with Soundeasy.

Hi Scott,
Will horn resp do two horns simultaneously??? If it doesn't, I could get single horn directivity from HR or Axidriver and possibly use the directivity function in Soundeasy or LspCAD to sim the two horns.

I'm hoping for more of a "one stop shopping" solution.
