    Interesting document for horn lovers

    You get the complete history of horns and how they work as well as some mathematical models. I found it very interesting.

    Thank you for the link.

    The history is more a collection of pictures than a commented and weighted overview. But there is at least a picture of the shearer horn combination - a milestone.
    Some mathematical models up are the cutting edge of those you can find in the web. Have I missed a remark about the narrow directivity of a tractrix horn at higher frequencies?

    I thought it interesting as well... it seems he has even looked at our site. It is a very broad ranging compendium of horn info. Thanks for sharing it.

    Thanks for posting. I no idea how complicated horn theory/design was. Unfortunately I am not an engineer or mathematician, so have to struggle with the math, just like in the college dazes(days).

    I often wondered what and why the different designs, this document more less explains it.
