In Reply to: Giant Horn Speakers and Time Alignment .... posted by cids on March 6, 2012 at 16:11:27:
Personal Note to cids and coytee: Having admired Kloss' work for many years and corresponded with him years ago I suspect his giant multiway horn system sounds very good indeed. There are many paths to good sound. I wouldn't bet against an old pro like Kloss without extremely good reason.
I believe attention to time and phase alignment is important in all speaker systems which divide the spectrun among different drivers and especially so with large horn systems because of the large distances between the acoustic centers of the various drivers. Some inmates will consider me an apostate heretic, but I use digital a sound processor/crossover, the DEQX HDP-3, to correct the time and phase relationships of my DIY horn system. The physical distance separating my corner horn sub's drivers and the Oris 150s they cross over to is well over sixteen feet, but with the DEQX I can correct that to a time difference as though they were less than 1/8" apart. I know there are trade-offs, but when time and phase alignment alignment is corrected digitally that frees you up to place the various horns (within limits) for the cleanest wave launch and least destructive room interaction.
I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.
