Re: Living History?



The reason it was so big is basic physics and pattern control.  The large size extended the horn loading down lower-so it was louder down lower.  A smaller horn would not have been as loud as low.


THe larger the horn the lower the pattern control went-meaning it was keeping the sound where it is supposed to be-towards the people and off of the ceiling and such.


When you start compromising size-you start compromising something else.


If you start to think in terms of wavelength size-rather than freq-it all starts to make sense.
