An acoustic horn or waveguide is a tapered sound guide designed to provide an acoustic impedance match between a sound source and free air. This has the effect of maximizing the efficiency with which sound waves from the particular source are transferred to the air. Conversely, a horn can be used at the receiving end to optimize the transfer of ...

A horn loudspeaker is a loudspeaker or loudspeaker element which uses an acoustic horn to increase the overall efficiency of the driving element (s).

An ultrasonic horn (also known as acoustic horn, sonotrode, acoustic waveguide, ultrasonic probe) is a tapering metal bar commonly used for augmenting the oscillation displacement amplitude provided by an ultrasonic transducer operating at the low end of the ultrasonic frequency spectrum (commonly between 15 and 100 kHz).

2019年6月5日 · Ath is a piece of software for designing waveguides and horns. At the same time it makes it possible to easily simulate their acoustic behaviour by means of FEA (BEM) via ABEC/AKABAK tool. Amazing work mabat!

How it works: The multicellular horn is a cluster of eight smaller exponential horns, each with a small mouth to avoid beaming in a large frequency range, but together they form a sector of a sphere large enough to control directivity at low frequencies — the cluster acts as one big horn at low frequencies.

In a nutshell, a horn is a pipe with a section that varies progressively, which modifies the loudspeaker’s driver behaviour. By showing resistance to the driver’s diaphragm displacement (so-called acoustic load), the horn creates a smooth transition between the high impedance of the driver diaphragm and the low impedance of the surrounding ...

Horn loading is a technique used in loudspeakers to improve the efficiency and directivity of sound radiation. A horn acts as an acoustic waveguide, channeling the sound waves from the driver (speaker) in a specific direction. This focusing effect can significantly increase the sound pressure level compared to a simple driver without a horn.

While the horn paves some direction for the sound, its main purpose is to match the sound wave’s characteristics as it passes from the narrow tonearm and then goes into a big spatial area where the sound is heard. The tapering tonearm is also a miniature horn itself.

sound pressure to volume velocity of air. In a horn, the acoustical impedance will increase when the cross-section of the horn decreases, as a decrease in cross sec-tion will limit the flow of air at a certain pressure. Volume Velocity: Flow of air through a surface in m3/s, equals particle velocity times area. Throat: The small end of the horn,

An acoustic horn is a tapered sound guide that aims to maximize the efficiency of sound transfer, and can be used both at the sound transmitting and sound receiving ends such as musical instruments and hearing aid equipments. A way to quantify the performance of an acoustic horn is to evaluate the amount of sound reflection in the horn.
