In Reply to: Can the so called "horn sound" be fixed by digital equalization? posted by Artemius on February 12, 2007 at 15:36:05:
ArtemiusAny horn which sounds nasal and fatiguing is a work-in-progress at the very least. Geting the right horn mated with the right driver for the application, along with worthy amplification, should go a long way towards solving any of these problems. Using digital EQ to address the problem is like turbo-charging a V8 engine, which is running on only 6 cylinders, to get more performance out of it. Get the basics right and proceed from there. Now this begs the question: can you use digital EQ to compensate for the typical colorations observed in high-end audio direct radiator speakers: i.e. compressed dynamics and "screechiness" caused by engineered-in peaks in the above 8K Hz region used to get more of a life-like sound? I suppose you could, if you also introduce an electronic dynamic range expander, but it would be easier just to start with horns. Good ones of course.
