Post Subject: Transparent hornsPosted by Romy the Cat on: 2/9/2019
A few years ago a Russian guy, Murat form Moscow, popped at this forum with his ideas to build multichannel horn installation, that in his words would be the “best in the world”.

After a while I got tired from him and recognized that there is very little in him that would permit him to get any interesting audio results. He cruised around audio forum (ordinary suspect), brainlessly buying anything imaginable, was posting very regularly his “audio progress” at many forums and in my estimation did not end up with anything sensible. His infatuation with horns was over very fast his interest in music always had been pathetic. At this point he should be moving to accumulate golf cards, evaluate Thailand escort services of collecting postal stamps (as most of his cultural peers do). Murat was different, he decided to be Audio manufacture, sort of to follow the step of the celebrated audio-idiot  who defected all over audio internet with this “copy-paste thinking”. 
 
Russians had for themselves some kind of audio should recently and Murat presented his System 911 product. It is wide-range driver AER BD4 with direct radiator with active amplification. I know or care very little about the System 911, my experience with audio/life suggest that if I know how person thinks than his creative output is very predictable, so I will not waste my time to analyze the Mural new speaker – it should be waste. Still, there is one very remarkable thing that very positively hit me in his design: a transparent horn.

I have no idea what the material it was made and what sonic quality it has. I also very much oppose the profile of the horn the System 911 use. I remember Murat was stupidly crying that only la-horn able to produce proper sound, I think he forgot his cry…. Still, the notion of a transparent horn I found to be a VERY positive direction, I wish we had good materials to do it. Horns are notoriously large and visuals might be destructive. Using visual transparence and proper frame design it is possible to make horns to have very little visual footprint. In his System 911 Mural capitalize the transparency benefits very effectively and I would be welcome to see more experiment in the transparency direction.
