Happy New Year!FWIW I don't recommend using Tractrix down this low unless the flare frequency is at least 0.7x the desired Fc, but then you wind up with a ~hyperbolic once you cut off the oversize mouth, so might as well use Leach and attach an expo flare to it if you want a shorter, lower distortion horn.
I assume that there's some combined formulas to predict all this, but even if I've seen them I just skipped over it since it's literally 'Greek' to me, so you'll probably have to start a new thread for this info. MJK's MathCad worksheet attempts to predict the on-axis response, but it assumes a round horn and apparently only ~accurate with a conic expansion.
BTW, it's Voigt.
