Half-size Orelo VS traditional midbass horn (Orelo/Orelino)
Thanks for the explanation Bert, I appreciate it
Still wondering about the driver specifications needed for this "hybrid" application.
The front would require a typical horn driver with low qts, while the OB back would require a very high qts above 0.5 to work efficiently..
BUT I guess the waveguide nature of this design doesn't actually work as an impedance transformer with a fixed air volume in front of the driver cone, thus no requirement for a very strong motor.
How would this construction behave if using an exponential curve (T=1 for instance)? A more slowly opening flare may provide more loading below 150-200hz?
If we then proceed with putting a top on it, we have a horn
It would be an interesting process to build something like this in iterations, first test it as a waveguide and then see what happens when it turns into a horn!
