I previously posted this question but it was misunderstood this is not about a full range rear and front horn loaded speaker. It is about a MR driver covering only the freq range of 80 to 2K but using rear and front loading horns for efficiency in a linear array setting. All comments apparently missed this and therefore I am posting this again. The original post was this. Imagine a MR driver front and rear horn loaded covering 80 to 2KHz with a small front loaded horn easily covering say 240 Hz to 2KHz and a rear folded horn covering 80 to 240Hz. Therefore only 2-3 octave coverage por horn with less distortion and maximal efficiency from only one driver. Then Comp driver taking over above 2KHz and SUBWOOFER taking over below 80 Hz. Easily adapted to linear array use. An example Imagine the large L dos or copycat large JBL vertex with midline comp drivers, four 8" drivers and two 15" drivers. Now get rid of the 15 inchers and hornload the the rear output of the four 8 inchers while maintaining the front as is (limited front space ("wave"guided) direct firing). Power would be PLENTY and would save mucho bucks and weight. What do you think! Rafaro |
