The gap at the throat acts as a highpass acoustic filter that tames a low frequency peak of the horn response. The gap size can be experimented with to tailor the sound to your liking. This trick does not necessarily work for all drivers. The modern equivalent to the le5, the 105H, does not need the gap.
