I was sort of joking when I saw the enclosure. Since you mention it, I would think the little holes in the wavelett 4KHz up would go away if you put on the grill.
Hello,
I refined the wavelet plot a bit to emphasise reflections to make them more visible.
For comparison here's ideal reflections:
Amplitude scale is as previously:

Do you see the "quarter wave honk" now? 😀

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

I think 811 with 802 does not look very 'clean', what do you think?

Here's jzagaja measurements:
OS waveguide:
JMLC horn:
Minphase horn:
The JMLC and Miniphase share many similarities in reflection patterns. Also they had the same driver, I understood. OS waveguide has very different pattern from the two.

Here's Jean-Michel's measurement:
If compare this to the jzagaja's JMLC horn, this is much cleaner.
The driver/horn integration seems to have a key role here!?

Waveguide:
I don't get this waveguide? It's advertised as HOMless, but as far I can see, it has tremendous amount of HOM above 4kHz?

Love the "noodles" concept. Great work.
Well, I didn't think to call it like that 😀
Hi Elias,
I've tried to export an impulse from AxiDriver, can you see if it makes any sense with your wavelett tool?
Sampling 60kHz? Can you convert to WAV (44.1 or 48kHz) for convenience?
- Elias
I couldn't find the option for WAV. Is there a way to convert text to wave? I could rerun a sim to lower the sampling.

Cool, WAV not obligatory. ASCII will be perfect too. But I hope sampling either 44100 or 48000.

Hello Elias,
If I can do a parrallel with image analysis (which is one of the tools I use too) your new graph looks a lot as resulting from a "skeleton" operation.

Great! Could you see if this works?Cool, WAV not obligatory. ASCII will be perfect too. But I hope sampling either 44100 or 48000.

Hmm, now that I look at it a bit more, seems only 43KHz or so.

Hi,
I don't think there is any noise issues. The noise in the IR file should be visible also in the beginning of the plot
in the area indicated here: But there is nothing so it's clean enough for 50dB scale. Everything you see in the plot is due to the speaker (and the room).

If I crank up the gain, it's noise down at -50 dB, looks like:
![]()

Ealias - I love your new "Skeleton Noddles!" It really does help point up the reflections. And showing it side by side with the fat wavelet is nice.
Thanks for running all those graphs. What I see in them are a few things.
That info was there in the other graphs, but the skeleton noddles really points it out.

- Driver makes a difference. See how bad my 802 driver looks compared to the 806 driver on the same horns. The difference is audible.
- Although the Geddes and JMMLC horns do show reflections at the top, they both show very low magnitude 1st and 2nd reflections. Notice how clean they are in the first millisecond compared to the others. Especially down low.
- The horns we consider bad tend to have a lot more "junk" on the graph, most notably in the low end and within the 1st mS.

Nice

Here's the full range, crossover's at ~1.5 kHz, MLS gated at 200 Hz:

Here's the impulse:

And the FR:

The waterfall:

The normalized CSD:

SO, how's it SOUND...? 😀
