Horn loaded cone driver

For a couple of years, a front loaded horn MathCad worksheet was available for downloading from my website. The worksheet was derived to simulate the front loaded horn geometry shown in Figure The model solved the equivalent acoustic and The resulting motion of the driver’s cone, the driver’s volume velocity, is amplified. Sometimes it seems there is a disconnect in people's minds between a cone driver loaded by a horn and a compression driver loaded by a horn. This is probably caused by two factors. One is that cone driven horns are usually designed starting with the Thiel / Small parameters of the driver while the T/S parameters are usually not available for a high frequency compression driver. The first is to use the cone driver placed just below the horn, all the way up to a frequency where it begins to "beam" due to the relationship of sound wavelength and cone diameter.

A horn-loaded driver is in many ways the ideal acoustical-energy delivery system, typically providing ten times more sound power than a cone speaker would from the same amplifier output. But playing much louder with much less amplifier power is only one of a horn loudspeaker’s inherent virtues. exponential horn geometry where both have the same tuning frequencies. This last statement is an important definition that will be assumed throughout the remainder of this document. The resulting motion of the driver’s cone, the driver’s volume velocity, is amplified by the horn to become an even greater volume velocity at the horn’s mouth. Sometimes it seems there is a disconnect in people's minds between a cone driver loaded by a horn and a compression driver loaded by a horn. This is probably caused by two factors.

Can horned cones sound as good as compression drivers? Those are speakers with horn loaded midrange and high frequency elements. increase the acoustic load for the source (most mechanical sources are mismatched to horn driver, dome tweeter, midrange cone speaker, ribbon tweeter.
