Post Subject: Don't forget the phantom image!Posted by rowuk on: 8/20/2015

For horns mounted on or near the floor, we have a phantom image below the floor plane. In theory, this means we could make that horn a half circle or similar, with a tremendous advantage in real estate. The theoretical advantages of reduced diffraction at the edge of a Le'Cleach profile, are exactly that. The effects may not even be audible depending on driver, crossover, horn frequency, proximity to a room surface.

Whether a 2 meter length horn can be integrated is a big subject for a big room. I don't think that anyone or any software can predict this.
