    First part of the horn

    We currently change the horn adaptors. I was not 100% satisfied with the first hit
    1. pic first hit (a test)
    2. pic currently made adaptors (H9800ish)
    They look similar but perform totally different. See quoted 4313B Post

    That was the point several of us were trying to make when discussing some of the H9800 horn clones made by a few different forum members... a seemingly small change, especially in the throat area, can make quite a difference and the correct geometry of the H9800 is far from simple to create.

    What about the tweeter horn you are using? Isn't it optimized for the K2-S9800s higher tweeter position?

    It is, but I don't see too many problems. You may also have noticed that the upper horn lip is also not tilted as the original. To be honest, I don't expect to hear much of the supertweeter as it kicks in only at 19kHz. We will see.... and hear!

    That new throat doesn't look right. Take a look at this older thread,

    I was thinking that too... but it could be due to the rendering. A wireframe might be more instructive. I've posted this before along with the .igs data to create it and I assume that is what Guido is using as a starting point, but here is a view that shows that the transitional fillet looks different than Guido's rendering.

    It will be right in the end

    You need to see it. It can't be showed in pics or rendered CAD drawings. It's a question of the viewing angle.

    Below is original EV2, not mine

    Hello Guido

    That red line doesn't follow the contour, the white line does. That's an Array horn not a 9800. You need a close up of the transition between the throat and the horn. The white lines are the transition in the Array Horn between the outer horn and it shows the 2 piece construction on the throat.

    I know that Rob it was for clarification only as there is no real line in the contour. See the EV2 closeup I posted. Here the line is also not as my red line but looks like my red line (red wine) . Anyway, thank you for participating and trying to help! I'm proud to get you folks back to the forum at least for a few days

    The adapter is intended to be a parabolic horn, and I know for a fact that the black block is the one half of a parabolic horn, because I did the mathematical modelling and made the CAD drawing that was used to mill it.

    Measurements will show which is the better adapter.

    Squaring the circle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_of_the_circle)
    while retaining a parabolic expansion is anything but trivial,
    and I'm intrigued to know whether my efforts have paid off.
    We will know when Guido has made measurements with the green adapter (measurements made with my adapter are already available in various threads).

    Measurements will answer the question as to which adapter has the right shape.
    Jan, thank you for participating.
    Nothing wrong with your adapter. I even have a perfect filter for it. I just want to compare it with the original Everest 2 filter and the matching adapter.
    If I have made the comparison we will know if your efforts have paid off.

    I hope you guys nail it. If it works with the Everest Crossover it's a done deal.

    Project continues: LF in room response

    This is about the best in room response I ever measured!
    Normal room
    No treatment
    Very insensitive to room modes
    Flat within +/- 3dB down to 10Hz
    101dB SPL

    Reworked EV2 LF1 and LF2 crossover for usage of 1500AL's as worked out here
    http://www.audioheritage.org/vbullet...00-h9900-h4365

    I'll post full schematics when finetuned.

    Thanks!
    I remember all of those doubts about the bass capabilities of the Everest
