Acoustic Horn Design – The Easy Way (Ath4)

It hurts to see the recessed front face though...

I know :-( but there must be a grid on front of it.
Squeeze86: what driver was used? Looks like xo around 700Hz?

Midrange: Thomann 12-280/8-A
Tweeter: RCF CD 350
XO is 1200 at the moment. But I will prefer 1000Hz

This is the tweeter with my Tritonia. I don´t think I can go deeper than 1000Hz.
True that!
But still really good results.
The bump at 600 Hz looks like it might be caused by the ground reflection since it's persistant on the horizontal and vertical measurements.
By all means it's an amazing speaker. Congrats @squeeze86 !

Thank you. The bump is because of my insulation on the sides. I have to experiment a bit more with this. Perhaps i will use Basotect like in my D&D clones.
So I saw the orginal Tritonia ath code on the website but how do you get an .stl from that?
Delete the scale in the ath code and let ath calculate the horn. Than you will get the stl.
 
Ich sehe 2 Stk. von B&C DCM50, 2" Treiber vor mir.... Meine Drehmaschine funktioniert bis 75cm.. 🙂. Bei mabat sind Sie herzlich eingeladen, den größten ATH-Wellenleiter aller Zeiten zu erstellen. Ich würde gerne den Holzteil davon nehmen. Inklusive sauberer Messungen auf 6 m über dem Boden. Deal 🙂?

Please use English.

I see 2 pcs of B&C DCM50, 2" driver in front of me.... My lathe works up to 75cm.. 🙂. At mabat you are welcome to create the largest ATH waveguide ever. I would like to take the wooden part of it. Including clean measurements at 6m above the ground. Deal 🙂?

this was written in english... probably it was translated to german..

I'd be happy to take the wood part of it. Including accurate measurements at 6 meters above the ground. Deal 🙂?
 
I’m making an educated guess based off the point at which the response and directivity suffer. This could indicate cone breakup and increased levels of distortion. People often cross at 1 octave below the problem as a general rule. That’s why I was thinking I would be better off with an extended throat and larger waveguide to bring the fb of the compression driver down.

Each 12" driver radiates directional sound starting at approximately 750Hz. This is completely normal and not unique to your model.
 
What is horn coloration? 🙂
Good off axis means that there is low diffraction (or spread enough), that's certainly a good thing but not limited to horns, so...
But sure, you get extremely low diffractions and resonances with any of these devices. There's certainly no horn coloration whatsoever.

(At least unless you cut holes in the walls and make additional resonance and diffraction chambers. Then I can no longer guarantee that quality.)
