Here's an odd looking horn that I saw while watching a video about D&B line arrays. It's the Limmer 488. Looking at it I'd think "Hows that going to work?" but D&B is world renowned for the quality of their sound and their engineering - so maybe it's a good design.

The horn isn't on the Limmer website (that I can find) so no specs. AFAIK it's a 1.4" throat horn. Limmer isn't well known, but does get some mentions here in diyAudio. Are they supplying this horn to D&D Audiotechnic? It looks like a multi-cell, or perhaps a true segmented horn.

Talking of line-array waveguides: On a Canadian website I once saw someone suggesting to use a small line-array waveguide for the coupling of a driver to a DIY wooden horn. I wonder how well that would work.

Some of these manifold designs look well engineered and should help with beaming at the top end. I've been a fan of the multi-cell horns for years, these are a modern take on that.
What intrigues me about the Limmer horn is how quickly the spit happens, how severe the angle coming right off the driver.
