I have a theory about horn flare rates, based on my own experimentation: A gradual horn flare tends to rely more on horn loading, while a dramatic horn flare like my early Crusher designs used takes more advantage of quarter-wave resonances. I am going to try to strike a balance between these two, to use a resonant peak at 45 Hz to strengthen the low end output of the crusher a little bit, but I think I remember hearing the quarter-wave resonance is less damped than the horn loading, so I don't want to overdo it or else it will be like a big Bose wave cannon, capable of "drone" or one-note bass but not much else. When you take a look at the tuba, I think it has a very dramatic horn flare, so as a result there is a lot of quarter wave resonances affecting things.

Although i enjoy measurements + listening experience/reports
-because no manufacturer posts distortion graphs of completed subwoofers no one will post them on their site.


Turbosound publishes the distortion figures (has done that over a decade) on their website and specsheets. Nexo has them in the user manuals (i have downloaded the manuals for Geo S, Geo T, Alpha and PS-series).

Hi Mikael

SLight exaggeration,'no manufacturer'

Re: turbosound -
Id never noticed it before
i did 'sign up' for something with nexo in order to get more info-but the site isnt so simple,cant find stuff like that.

I see some of the Flight series stuff at outdoor gigs in UK - havent seen anywhere else though. Funktion1 is different.

Il take a look at the FTP part of turbosound.

Cheers!
