Is this only used on compression drivers or also with oridinairy tweeters?.
I read so much about it. I want to inject Hf into the tractrix horn with a 2 inch wideband on apex.

This might work well.
I'm thinking about doing a total K rig this summer but want to use theTransylvania Power's "The Tube". I can't find a set anywhere..
Any suggestions?

X this works well !!!
I have used a high sensitive tweeter and such pipe. For the people, you need a compression driver for high sensitivity, tube will softing the tone, it does here and I like the sound.
I record video and let you hear. I am suprised. But first I go on with faseplug, I am go saw it coming week, almost ready. I am busy now with helping people, I am a social worker.

Kees great news! Freddi will be happy and maybe you solved a tricky problem by poking a pipe into the horn throat to spatially locate that tweeter. 🙂
Please post photo on Trynergy thread.

Tomorrow. The tweeter is on the mouth, with a pipe. I listen to it now, so nice, I like it, I go buy a good compression driver, (102 a 108 dB watt) and put a pipe on it and test, it is worth it.
sleeep wel, ehhe for me I mean on the other site of the world.

an "X10" might be a fun project with internal tube - certainly one on top will work. Some Karlsonator could accommodate an internal tube and would require a bolt-on driver attached "in" the stub. That copper tube by Halon looks beautiful - polish and clear coat.

metal van resonate, pcv is better but less nice looking.
I have use a paper version, I am stunned how wide it go in room, I make picture tomorrow to get a idea.
now I go sleep en dream of a nice wife.

you will have to turn your head I cannot make the picture rotate. Tube at ear level three sided equal sided triangle stage and image are excellent. Best regards Moray James.

It is old thread but try.
How much efficiency I get left when use a K-Tube in stead of a horn?, idea was to put a K-tube in a horn, injecting through walls to get wide respons and not much beaming.
thanks.
a little K-tube approximately the same size as the Transylvania tube, has probably a bit more than 100dB sensitivity from 2KHz up as it seems a bit hot with a 99dB woofer. If setting on top of a speaker, then I think a baffle at the compression driver's plane may help offset baffle step fold-backs and low end droop. Get some cardboard and experiment with baffle size.
I tried Karlson horn for the HF units. And I can say that sounds very good.
No directvity, no hard jet. Very good dispersion, much easy to listen for long sessions.
On impedance measurements acts like horn load. I am very satisfied with this for my opinion, significant design.

My plan was put it in a horn mouth, drill a hole is side horn and stick it through it so it is the horn, the wideband do wel until 2.5 khz, and K-tube do rest, the bass injection is also there making a tractrix with single point effect, I did use the trynergy idea from X wich do well it is in room and working, however I did want to try a K-tube so I have more efficienty and width effect..
