Re: From Wayne Parham - Re: Patentable claim

Hello again Mark!

I maintain the position that the Unity horn is not acting as an acoustic transformer for each of its drivers. I use similarly-shaped, large format conical horns as wideband devices too. But I realize that the horn is only loading the driver over a portion of its range, and certainly not loading the entire audio bandwidth.

I also maintain the position that you cannot make this configuration time-linear or "unity summed." I am sure that you have put a lot of work into time-aligning your drivers, but I insist that the time alignment method you chose is an approximation, just like everyone else who uses this sort of technique. Said another way, being an approximation, the device is still not acting as a point source.

One should still expect to use arrays and line source methods for proper coverage.
