The S2 has own channel and here is nothing your can do about it.


Yes, of course. The answer may be different for the S3, inasmuch as one might be able to start the chosen profile at the diaphragm...

Yes, I did asked myself this question at the begging...The profile of this channel is irrelevant as at very begging of the curve they all are very much alike.


Still, I do wonder...Even if there is nothing to be done about the conical horn segment integral to the design of the S2, is not that sudden flaring from 2.5 to 6.3 degree an unwanted feature that could be alleviated somehow? If one were to address it, how would one go about this?

My thoughts on how one might address this, although I have no such plans for now, would be to devise a smoother transition by suing the LeCleach profile over the first 24 to 36mm, at which points the difference between the diameters of the two flares are very close.

I would not think about it.


I agree and this is the course of action I will pursue for now, although in the long run, I may want to revisit this issue by designing a horn that addresses the 'transition problem' and then work out for myself whether there is anything to be gained (or lost) in doing so.
