Hi all.
Maybe useful to some incase you havent seen.

Analysis of a Folded Hornpdf

ABSTRACT
A boundary element model is used to analyse a folded horn. Results from the boundary element model are
compared to measurements of the throat radiation impedance and the far-field acoustic response. Further analysis
shows how one-dimensional and lumped parameter models can be derived from the boundary element results, and
used to gain insight into the behaviour of the folded horn loudspeaker system. It is shown that one type of folded
horn behaves more like a vented-box than a traditional horn-loaded loudspeaker system.

Look out in the Journal for June as I wrote a correct to the mentioned paper.

I've been saying for a long time that a horn loaded woofer is nothing more than a bandpass system with a big port.

By that you mean,a damped resonant system rather than the magic,perfect phase response beast that some like to say horns are?

One of those articles,they get a resonant response-Ive seen this in hornresp program when I mismodel drivers on the wrong horn.

Journal = AES ?

Several people mustve downloaded both files in an hr...If your into the theory their well worth it. I was emailed one,and the other I dont know I just found it on my pc...

If you cant find a time that its working I could email it to you.

Cheers

I'm saying that a horn does not reach its actual function as a impedance matching device until it is many wavelengths long and has a mouth that is more than a wavelength across. below that it starts to look more and more like a simple port - a tube with no wall flare. So a short horn on the front of a woofer is basically a front ported enclosure.

Sorry, yes to me Journal means AES journal as its probably the only one I ever read.

would it be possible for you to put a copy of your jaes paper on your website or somewhere?

Since the AES owns the copyright, this is illegal. Simply go to AE.org and order the papers. They cost $2.00 each, even I am unwilling to send them out at that price.
