Post Subject: Omni-directional 'horny' speaker from RAALPosted by Romy the Cat on: 12/12/2007

The RAAL’s Alex is trying to undertake a task of horn-loading of his ribbons. I am not a big enthusiast of the idea. I am not quite sure how Alex will combine in one driver the requirements of super-tweeter and a horn-loaded MF driver, not to mention that I have many other concerns about the idea. Still, Alex is a right man to resole complex problems and let see what Alex will be able to come up be with.

For omni-directional devotes this thing will have do the omni-directional tricks and for the people who would like to drive a ribbons all the way down it looks like also will has an optional horn EQ that should allow the “special” people to integrate this with their…  subwoofer :-) Anyhow, Alex is the fruit that should be watched and if he desired to make public announcement of the project then the project will do through. It will be not the first horn-loaded ribbon that I have seen but I have reasons to feel that it will be better than other horn-loaded ribbons.

From RAAL web site: December '07:

An old anouncement of developing an omni-directional supertweeter is not really true any more. That project turned into development of big omni-directive array mid-high driver. Parallel to that one, Pro driver is on the way. Should be able to deliver "rock concert" SPL with ultra high resolution. Should work as direct radiator as well as horn loaded. Both drivers will be very serious pieces, incorporating yet unseen solutions in true ribbon design, making them statement of RAAL's capabilities.
