[edit] Operation
The description of the operation of a horn is not correct. This is indeed a type of impedance matching as discussed below.Jackocleebrown (talk) 22:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Impedance matching?
I'm a little sketchy on the specifics of acoustic impedance, but it sounds like this is a form of impedance matching. — Omegatron 23:16, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- It is a type of impedance matching. The horn makes it appear to the driver that its driving a very small acoustic resistance (or something like that). Rohitbd 21:20, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm... It would be nice to clarify this in the article. — Omegatron 02:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Frugal-Horns Site
An anon ed deleted this link as spam, but I don't see any problem with it. Dhaluza 08:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- I don't have any problem with it either. I've issued a vandalism warning to the anon. I suggest other editors do the same if it continues to be removed. GlassFET 14:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Synergy horn distortion
The Synergy horn concept has been touted in the Danley white paper as having less distortion due to there being less speaker cone excursion at the same SPL as a standard horn, yet Danley doesn't include a distortion plot or associated THD or THD+N numbers in his white paper. User:ww says he's chasing down a citation for there being greater distortion in the Synergy horn. FWIW, Tom Danley is one of the good guys, an anti-snake oil defender of truth by way of exacting measurements. He's not a fan of standard loudspeaker measurements performed at 1 meter distance since a physically large loudspeaker allows the measurer to move the measurement mic around in order to 'game' the specifications and avoid (for instance) port distortion, group delay and phase problems. Danley prefers to measure at 10 meters with power increased to 100w, matching the theoretical SPL obtained by 1 watt at 1 meter... Ten meters and 100w is more of a real world experience anyway, in terms of professional concert, theater and event loudspeakers. At any rate, we'll let his Synergy horn design defend itself.

- Changed 'tapped' to 'Synergy'... the section under discussion is about multiple entry horns with more than one bandpass involved. Tapped horns are typically one bandpass in the subwoofer range. Binksternet (talk) 19:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
