Abstract

Presented is an acoustic low frequency horn for corner placement, radiating backward into the corner cube, from where the waves are reflected to the room, guided by 3 plains out of the corner ideally forming the biggest possible conical horn. Providing a smooth expansion of the wave path avoids the formation of a horn mouth and the problems therefrom. In consequence it has a high efficiency and needs only a smaller speaker that fits into an enclosure of about one magnitude smaller size than comparable corner horns. Thereby retaining the excellent reproduction characteristics of an over sized bass horn, but with reduced enclosure size, material and overall cost. It comes without cutoff frequency effect and can play down to the limit of human audibility without changing its characteristics at lowest frequencies.
