i have a feeling that i will get in trouble for this (because to older people thinking often equals heresy) but im going to say this anyway
i just read this little white paper on tapped horns and im just so not buying it ...
i dont know if i should even go into details on why this is just marketing hype ?
in any case i have developed a better technology some time ago ... much better. i even posted about it on madisound.com forum but nobody seems to have understood it.
my technology couples the front of of the driver to a horn and the rear to a bandpass box filled with damping material.
this damped bandpass box acts as a low pass filter and a phase shift for the rear wave. the rear wave is neutralized at frequencies where it would have caused destructive interference. it is allowed out at frequencies where it would cause constructive interference. it vents the pressure at the lowest frequencies allowing a lighter cone and more efficient driver. and last but not least by shifting the phase at the predetermined point its extends the frequency range in which the summation is constructive.
i know that to most people the very idea of questioning any accepted views is absolutely terrifying ... but i don't care ... many "scientific facts" are eventually proven false ... and the only reason these things are considered "facts" in the first place is because people are too intellectually lazy to question them ... then people can laugh at their ancestors for thinking the earth is flat when if they were in their place they would too burn the heretic who had the audacity to reason
