Horn Theory Articles

The following article derives the method that I am now using to model the acoustic response of front and back loaded horn loudspeaker systems. The article contains ten sections, saved in "pdf" format, for ease of reading and downloading.

  2. A Mathematical Model for the One Dimensional Exponential Horn (revised 6/29/08)

  3. Derivation of the Acoustic Impedance at the Mouth of a Horn (revised 7/23/17)

  4. Sound Radiation Pattern from the Mouth of a Horn (revised 6/29/08)

  5. Horn Physics (revised 6/29/08)

  6. Design of a Front Loaded Exponential Horn (revised 7/01/08)

  7. Design of a Back Loaded Exponential Horn (revised 7/01/08)

  8. Advanced Design of a Back Loaded Exponential Horn (revised 7/01/08)

  9. Conclusion (revised 7/01/08)

  10. References (revised 7/01/08)

Multiple Entry Horn (MEH) Theory and Design

The following series of presentations document my work on MEH theory and design. This is envolving work that will hopefully result in a build sometime in the future. Additonal presentatiosn will be added as the study continues.


If you have any questions or suggestions about the documentation, I would be interested in hearing your comments.
