Returning back to #9981 (which is the big horn in the making), the throat impedance can be further increased on the lower end without a noticeable degradation in polar response by adding a variable slot -
I'm not sure it is worth it, just that it's possible.
I'm not sure it is worth it, just that it's possible.
Now I'm testing a general 2-profile geometry, consisting of a throat adapter and variable number of succesive segments, each segment being two independent (H/V) OSSE profiles (here all flat which is just a special case). As there's an obvious practical appeal in the flat panel construcion, I hope this way we can get the best out of it
ST260B profiles (infinite baffle):
Horizontal/vertical:
Diagonal:
Throat impedance:
Above 10 kHz it's hard to say how much of it is just rubbish. It would need a refined mesh to verify (and much longer computation time).
I have to say I'm surprised by the smoothness.

wowThese are the horizontal polars calculated (with the data points) which is simply amazing.

Many have called for this, now with the 2-profile geometry it's easily possible -Now if rectangular throat option was added, it would be perfect
