In every Sunship Audio horn-loaded loudspeaker, a small cylinder of open-cell acoustic foam sits inside the back chamber of the compression driver. It looks…
High-sensitivity loudspeakers, particularly horn-loaded designs built around TAD-Pioneer compression drivers, present unusual electrical demands that make the…
A loudspeaker cabinet is, at heart, a wooden skeleton held together by metal. The way those fasteners grip the panels dictates far more than whether the box…
A loudspeaker crossover can be assessed from several points in the signal path, but the binding posts provide the most practical electrical reference. They…
For decades, audiophiles and speaker designers have debated the merits of round versus rectangular horn mouths in compression-driver loudspeakers. The shape of…
Horn loudspeakers can deliver remarkable dynamics, clarity and scale, yet the horn mouth introduces a difficult acoustic transition. When sound reaches the…
Australian audio enthusiasts gathering at the Melbourne International Hi-Fi Show or browsing Sydney specialty retailers often share a fascination with the…
Many audiophiles who invest in a high-efficiency horn-loaded loudspeaker assume the system will reproduce every note from a pipe organ's lowest pedal tone to…
Behind every high-efficiency horn loudspeaker sits a quiet network of resistors, inductors, and capacitors doing the work most listeners never see. The…
A super tweeter can add air, openness and fine instrumental texture to a horn system, but it must behave as part of the loudspeaker rather than as an extra…
