Hi,

What is the advantage of these compared to normal voigt horn or just a standard back loaded horn? Less excursion? better frequency response? Or both?

Marketing.

Basically, as Dave said, it's about marketing. It's viable enough in broad design terms, but it's not the eighth wonder of the world, and doesn't really bring much to the table you couldn't achieve by other means.

In the interests of bringing things back on topic, and my perhaps unhealthy interest in volcanoes, a sister box to Vesuvius with top-firing vent for the CHN110.

Just need someone to devise a small circular up firing LED light display and smoke generator for parties.

 

[Scottmoose]

Maybe an upward-firing nerf gun? 😀

Vinegar, baking sodium and red food colouring?
But let’s stop being silly

Can I put flowers in the bass port and use the speaker as a tall vase?

You could tune to an aperiodic loading.

Since we're on the subject of unholy abominations how practical would it be to get good bass out of a fleshlight. I assume you would need a passive driver to make up for the small volume.

Hmm, need to put the vent in the removable massive 'whatever' is used to mass load the cab. 😉

 

[chrisb]

Just be sure to use a good toy cleaner after every session, or so I’ve heard.

Maybe if you hook up a smoke machine to it, it will shoot torodial vortex smoke every time the drum bangs..

Could be interesting if it has the right kind of smoke. 😉 Might be an interesting way to keep the room/house smelling fresh.

One for the Supravox 215 RTF 64 Bicone I did a while back & found on the storage driver. Trad. aligned vented box, vent can be on either the front or rear baffle.

Does anyone have experience with these speakers?
An extensive drawing and any CNC codes are of course very welcome
thanks

Nothing to do with me I'm afraid (this thread is more or less a dumping ground for misc. designs I've done over the years). From the appearance, to be honest, it's not really something I'd recommend for a back-loaded bass horn either if performance is the goal. If it's what I think it is, it was a commercial product from some years ago.

No dirct experience, but knowing how smooth bass horns tend to tramsmit too much HF out the mouth causing significant ripple. This horn is designed to look good. TO do so it has to fight the fancy looking part.

If it is what you are probably thinking of (Carfrae Little Big Horn?), I heard that one and it was stunning. I think very good systems all converge on a certain sound quality and character. This one was definitely in that category. While it had a very clear "single driver feel", the sound balance and dynamics were simply right and unremarkable. Along with the subwoofer that supported the backloaded horn, the whole system was simply great from treble to sub bass.
