Information on bass horn construction

[cddeluca]

Does anybody have any info on the construction of the VS125HS basshorn?

2 X 2225 folded horn from the venue series:

I appreciate it I had found that already but was searching for a better idea of the horn folding.

I'm trying to assuage my guilt. Some time ago I bought a pair of new 2226H's because they were a good deal from PE, intending to put them in a reflex cabinet. Since then I've built a pair midrange horns and decided to pursue a horn bass/midbass to put under them and still use the 2226's that never found their way out of their boxes.

I haven't been able to come up with a 2226-based horn that models worth a damn and I can't bear the thought of buying another pair of drivers

What do you use for modeling?

I am just digging into the bass horn thing and could use a leg up on calculation. Any recomended references?

Thank you.

Hey,
I have made a simulation for a JBL 2226H with HORNRSP by David McBean on the quick. Are you looking for something like this?

Throat area 350 cm2, back chamber 45 l, brutto volume ca. 600 l, heavy. Placed in a corner or two side by side.

The deeper the horn the easier the folding.

Thank you for this, Hoerninger. Yes, 1audiohack, I was trying to use McBean to model a suitable horn but, very inexperienced, I couldn't get a sim that didn't look like a pie-wedge.

I didn't consider 1/8 space since I can't place them anywhere near any corners and my wife ain't Mrs. Klipsch (tolerance for false corners is just about zero).

Thanks again for something to go on.

Best,
Charlie
