A compression driver is designed to work into a carefully controlled acoustic impedance, not to radiate freely into an empty box. Its small diaphragm, phase…
Bracing is often treated as decorative woodwork inside a cabinet, but every millimetre of spacing between braces determines which frequencies the walls will…
Aligning a horn and woofer means arranging their acoustic centres so sound from both drivers reaches the listening position with the intended timing and phase…
In compact Australian homes, where terrace conversions in inner Sydney share airspace with double-brick Queenslanders in Brisbane, a high-sensitivity horn…
In a horn-loaded loudspeaker, the width of the horn mouth is a major factor in how sound spreads across a room. It influences the horizontal beamwidth, the…
When you finally get two horn-loaded systems side by side, the temptation is to declare a winner within the first minute. Real comparisons demand slower work:…
In horn-loaded loudspeaker systems built around TAD-Pioneer compression drivers, the crossover is more than a frequency-divider. It is a control network that…
Sunship Audio treats every horn flare as a precision acoustic instrument rather than a piece of carpentry. From the heavily braced birch plywood cabinets in…
A loudspeaker’s woofer is expected to move as a controlled piston through much of the bass and lower midrange. As frequency rises, however, the cone can flex…
A birch veneer finish can make a loudspeaker cabinet look calm, precise and exceptionally well resolved. The result depends less on the veneer itself than on…
