RE: The Pros and Cons of Horn Speakers

The do have some directivity but an array of sources (individual drivers) produce an interference pattern that changes with frequency not a single lobe like a horn. Two or more sources can only combine into a single new source if they are less than 1/4 wavelength apart at the highest frequency, at 1/2 wl and beyond, they are completely seperate sources..

This is why one normally only see's smoothed predictions and not measurements for those where as there are Klipple measurements for other non array speakers.
