This is my last project of Exponential BL Horn.
I tried to design sufficiently big construction,
but (almost) suitable to set up in normal room.
(what do you think about title "family scandal")
😀 😎
Some parameters:
Lenght of exponent is 5000 mm (34.4Hz for 1/2 wave lenght).
Throat area is 88 sq. cm.
Offset ratio is approx. 0.5
Mouth area is 0.45 sq. m.
Volume of chamber is 7 liters, but it is easy to reduce to 3.5-4 liters (tighter bass and smaller drive excursion).
Helix is suitable for Bulgarian Full Range Drivers - Ether 5/6, but fits also Fostex 206/7 and others.

Hi,
what about mounting the driver with offset onto
the front baffle / into the pressure chamber ?
Looks possible without changing the folding, would bet
it will sound better then.
Yes i know, some people don't like to look at drivers mounted
offset. But others are interested in best sound mainly ...
Cheers

Where to get the Ethers ?
Cheers
You can get Ethers from Asparuh Jeliazkov, designer of these drivers.

About driver offset...
Below I attached PDF with offset ratio 1.

Was it a joke, because you don't like side offset ?
Or do you mean everyone is free to introduce an offset
if he likes ?
I cannot see any difference between the drawings.
But filenames differ. Maybe i am getting blind ...

During my investigation into wave forming from the filter chamber to the throat a "funnel" approach always produced the better result. It may be nothing more than a slug of pressure at that point but it will affect the later wave form.

left view is with offset 1, right with 0.5
OK i see ...
what i meant is more like this ...
the drawing is maybe somewhat exagerated, just to show
what i mean.

somebody build this helix -5000 ?
hello,
Somebody already build this design ?
Is it compatible with lowther too ?
Thanks !
