I don't think you can align the tapped horn. My tapped horn has a total length around 5 metres. To time align that with my other drivers, its got to be around 5 metres closer than others. The only other solution is delaying the rest of the channels.....

Skushino, I found the same thing, TH can only go so high before they start sounding :funny, of course due to the principle involved, if you want to raise the response further from the design the same Tapped Horn begins to work against itself. So one...

I have drawn up my 20Hz subwoofer horn in Google SketchUp 3D. This horn is more for home theater than for music. My smaller 40Hz loaded with B&C Speakers 8PE21’s is more musical and articulate. The 20Hz tapped horn is loaded with two Tang Ban...

Then i have problems with my tapped horn. He works 25-90hz range.What you recommending for bass or midbass?I do not have too much room for bigger horn system....

I am adding to what Romy just posted for me. See the below for more information about tapped horns.Rgs, JLH*******************************************************************So, what does a tapped horn look like? There are several ways to fold, b...

I have just installed my whole speaker system at a friends house, 5 way horn loaded, it was getting in my way for some tests I wanted to run (Tapped Horns, exponential 180 hz horn) I already like it better! Change is good.Koshka will love to have m...

Hi Romy,You should have to check Tom Danley's speakers at http://www.danleysoundlabs.com/. He has quite a few tapped horn subs and Synergy horns for PA, but there are people using his speakers at home, like myself. I have changed from Avantgarde Acos...

Hello Romy, thank you for the answers. Your horns have a round mouth, but their profile is not spherical. That is the profile of the Avantgarde Horns you formely had - apparentyl you have anayzed them intensively, could you elaborate what problems yo...

Yes, when I move the drivers or for that matter if I move my listening position, I realign.What I hear and measure about the drivers relative distances to each other is this. When I first set up the drivers, one horn ended and the next one started, t...

Hello,i made a few bass horns for home use:[url=http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=hm-moreart11pichrc5.jpg][img]http://www.abload.de/img/hm-moreart11pichrc5.jpg[/img][/url]a seat, writing table[url=http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=baufoto9eckh.7rgu...

Up to the first fold the horn is somewhat conical as seen in post #1 picture.This picture shows the exit w/ additional angle wall (making for "corner" loading).This has a greater (uncalculated) flare something like a compound CD horn.Resonant F unkno...

Here's a pic (link) of my listening position.When I built my large Bill Fitzmaurice bass horn...I had thought about placing it in that space above the speakers, firing into the corner. I may still do that...but the sub is serving duties in the separa...

RomyIt's topical to ask, since I'm building a 4-way system at the moment ..( Tapped horn behind and three-way horn system in front )Do you favour the tweeter horn to be placed at the top, above the mid/HF horn , or in this situation place the tweeter...

If I try Trapped Horn then it will be ether 90” toll or 108” tool and as narrow as possible. I am not looking for “reverse engineer the tapped-horn and refold it in a different manner” but rather to somebody who know what they do to design the right ...

-Background- Enspired by Jeffery Jacksons system as displayed @ VSAC, I'm building a five-way horn system. Tapped horn for up to ~80Hz; w/ Eminence driver 65Hz Tractrix from ~80Hz to ~400Hz w/ fane 8"; 250Hz LeCleach from ~400Hz to ~2...

I was rushing when I made the last post. Wanted to share a little more about my thought process and how I arrived at doing another large-scale masochistic audio project. Making a bass horn is a huge risk - the results can vary from exceeding expect...

There's a big difference in 40 - 400 and 90 - 400 Hz. 40 - 400 might also be stretching the bandwidth which will be horn loaded? (FLHs by nature are narrow band, 40 - 400 is over three octaves...) And, besides the coloration Romy mentione...

I am still here still trying to work it out. Read your mid bass horns article again. Learned a bit more. You right about open baffle I once foolishly sold everything I owned to buy a pair of km30. They never sounded good until one day...

MoreartDouble-driver "back horns"? I am not sure what you are asking about, or what exactly you are promoting, but I do not agree with lightweight, square-section horns, because I have never heard one that worked, apart from shifting certain frequen...

I tried, unsuccessfully, to post that link, but you found it. I am not certain if you will find useable comments about its sound, but there are some there that are quite knowledgeable and many others that are number jockies.The size/format is also ...

Here are some real world measurements made at the 2007 NYC sub shoot out. The distortion numbers and characteristics should help us understand the difference between tapped horn distortion and conventional front loaded horn distortion.
The fir...

I think it might be very interesting to introduce the high-pass filtration for tapped horn and to see how it behaves. It is not only about thermal overload and restriction of excursion. The unloading of none-used bass generally clean-up the transpare...

Interesting, Keith. You got 95db at 23Hz, I thigh the idea of to use tapped horn it to get more sensitivity. Did you intentionally did not target 102-103dB or you went for wider bandwidth instead of gain? You also use 300w SS amps. Did you try to use...

Hi, Marcus
As I understand it is 15” loaded into 110-150Hz horn, MF compression driver in 350-400Hz horn, Ribbon tweeter and a pair of tapped horns? Looks good.
If it were up to me than I would paint the entire baffle with tweeter and MF i...

Hello Romy,The tapped horns were easy to construct so I made them while I was working on the midbass channel. I can't really comment on how good tapped horns are because I have never heard other 20-35hz capable systems... it does provide amazing SPL'...
|

I'm also concerned about the range, but I believe that in using an appropriate driver, I may be able to achieve a target range of 40Hz to 400Hz.One reason for my wanting to achieve this range is precisely for the purpose of not wanting to have a 4-Wa...

Ok, I said a mistake, I like direct radiator (sealed speakers) too, but I often noticed more dynamic with horn speakers (I like every speakers (if properly tunned) except speakers that radiate with both sight of the drivers (bass-reflex, tapped horn,...

Hi Romy,Its an Altec 416-8A driver in a ~100 Hz exponential horn, Jbl 2441 in 350Hz tractix, Aurum Cantus G1 tweeter and Eminence Definimax 4012 HO in ~30Hz Tapped horn.I just hooked it up and the highs are promising but I thought the lower end (200 ...
