A new midbass horn

that last sim is for a longer Hypex type horn. Yours is a tractrix isn't it?

 

Yes. If the last simulation is with a longer hypex tipe horn, higher frequency output should be less than with tractrix. The shorter the horn, the higher it goes.

what i can conclude is, that it might be useful to choose a lower crossover point to the midrange channel . My intend was to choose 700hz, but 500hz might be better.

Unfortunately, hornresp does not work on windows xp.Can someone make a simulation for my basshorn ?

Your bass horn is a folded (snailshell) type design isn't it? I'm not sure how relevant modelling it as a straight horn would actually be. I'll have a look later when I've more time. (BTW Hornresp does work on my XP equipped computer)

 

I think for LF, it's fine. I wold guess that it's the HF that will be curtailed along with some added ripples from the "pipe" effect of the segments...

Works on XP for me too...

 

when i unzip and try to open hornresponse, i am getting a error message : error of archive. it was not possible to find VBRUN300.DLL

 

You need to install Visual basic runtime:

great. thanks. it's running now. What i do not understand at you simulation is With 100cm^3 throat chamber, and 1l throat chamber. In the second of your hornresp simulation, the response is a littlebit more linear between 150hz and 400hz. I have made a drawing below, to show how the horn throat will be , and dimensions. 1l throat chamber seems quit big to me, it will be in reality much smaller.
