My BassHorn VS Martin WSX

Man says he's designed it around an 18sound.

Am interested to see a redesign - as it is there's a number of problems with the simulation as has been pointed out. Looks like an old version of hornresp as well.

Where did you find that WSX sim?

Mykey,

Anyone designing a horn box should be aware of that at the first place :-)

By my understanding one should always use at least 4 horns in a cluster to gain the full potential of the horn box (ie making a big enough mouth).

0.5 pi is radiating out of an infinite granite corner basically.
1pi is radiating out of a wall-floor transition.
2pi is radiating out of an infinite baffle.

In a big enough stack (not 4 bins), the middle ones will be sort of radiating into 1pi.

It really depends on the scale - if you zoom out and out and out that same stack would really be simply radiating into an infinite baffle of the world. If you zoom out so the earth is tiny, the speaker would be in full space.

But you already knew all of that.

Hornresp has the ability to model multiple cabinets, the universal standard for modeling sub for pro sound is 2pi as you rarely get a place that allows you to radiate out of a corner. do remember that lots of material is basically invisible at the operating range.

The question of how many horn boxes to use is down to the design. The 1850 was designed to be used in stacks of 4 - if it was on hornresp I would design it looking at plots for 4 cabinets. PA is all about compromise with bass horns. Horn length and mouth area increases as you stack cabinets - but this is no substitution for radiation out of a corner - while they have similar effects of lowering apparent f3 etc, they aren't the same thing and shouldn't be confused. The 186 on the other hand was optimized for two bins.

my friend you really must upgrade your Hornresponse, you may also find that your charts may change

For example... Calculating in Hornresp 19.40 of my basshorn with 2.83volts and 0.5xPI ANG:

I don't believe that it can give 113db 1w/1m from 50-300Hz!

But displacement is the same as in older version of Hornresp..
