Beaming / Karlson
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2021 12:34 pm
Is the odd, arcing aperture on the fronts of Karlsons to reduce beaming of the large driver by half, while maintaining some beaming for controlled directivity? Is this why subs are locatable > 100hz, due to the beaming?
Would a similar aperture on the mouths of a Titan or Tuba behave similarly, adding any benefit? What about an unfolded tuba with a Karlson flare in the mouth: could it be used to a higher low pass? Are there "full range" drivers that would let you use an enclosure as an all in one, WITH a better than mass produced industry standard amount of bass?

(Yes, Bill, I know: If it would be better that way I would have *designed* them that way. )
