Illuminati (33rd Degree)

The 12π basshorn subwoofer reached 138dB/M maximum output at 1600 watts RMS. We ran it up higher, but little additional output was generated. Up to 1600 watts, compression was negligible, with 2x power increases resulting in the expected 3dB SPL increases.

Measured response largely agrees with the computer model prediction. Compare the modeled response for one horn to the measured response of the prototype:

The accuracy of the model makes me comfortable that its prediction of a group of four horns is also accurate.
