Hey Jean-Michel,
I guess corner loading is mandantory for this concept as you also recommended that in my 414 project a few posts back? Think this also incorporated an added R that made sensitivity low?
Hey Jack,
Find a driver with lower Mms. This will give you a bandwith so you can go for a 1" inch driver and a smaller horn, like your JMLC-400. What was wrong with the low cost 12" you suggested me? It will not need the high compression the 15" gives together withe the JMLC-200.

Hello Jack,
The difference of path we indicate in the "combined response" module of Hornresp is not related to the listening distance.
It is the difference of path travelled by the rear wave compared to the front wave. In the case of the Horn Open Baffle the difference of path is roughly a bit larger than the distance between the troat of the horn and the edge of its mouth + some additional.
See attached Hornresp help file related to the combines response.

Variable path length due to varying group delay of horn.
Probably off topic here but I would like to ask jmmlc whether the above is taken into account in horn response calculations. I ask because I have been modelling some front loaded horns working off an offset H baffle type open baffle and the results look good. I have used eminence beta 15A in the models as that is what I have and find difficulty in using them.
With two in an H baffle,8"or 20cm deep to the rear and a port opening equal to the H baffle cross section but .01cm deep and the front part of the H baffle about 8cm. deep but closed off to make a chamber with a throat area to the horn of 480 - 500sq.cm, mouth area 5000 - 600 sq.cm depending on profile, results look quite good. The lack of xmax shows up low down. I have modelled path difference as the length of the baffle plus the length of the horn. Is this correct.
This seems, generally to give better results than a bass reflex/horn combination. I suspect that better speakers would model quite well in this type of setup.

They don't work in reality
How do you know? You said you only ran OB. It also sims good as vented horn. Still you have to try IRL!
It also sims good with a vented backchamber with a 150Hz Tractrix down to 70Hz.

Do you
Low sensitivity though.
Better to use a coil
Hey Helmuth,
You probably missunderstood the use of the resistor. It is for making the driver get higher Q. Unfortunately you loose sensitivity so it isn´t the best of ideas.
Jack have suggested a driver giving us high sensitivity, Eminence Kappa 15A, that sims fine as OB without more than 2ohm. This is Zout of a typical 300B/2A3 SE. Will sim some more.
