how to combine Line array and transmission line together

Jared · 19th April 2004, 04:03 PM

I have the drivers to make a line array, and was considering trying to make it a transmisison line. My question is if I have a one end transmission line speaker, with the front chamber of the line in an elongated tower shape for teh line array shape, will this work as a way to expand the frequency range the TL is tuned for? Or will this just make the speaker sound really muddy with basically out of phase garbage coming from the TL ??

you could always turn the tl 90 degrees to the side then fold it, then you would just stack the tl's to make a line array.

that would make for an absolutely massive speaker tho..
