Efficiency gains from horn loading

Recommended Posts

I guess I'm being really optmistic here, but are there any pieces of software (free, would be nice :D ) that accurately model horn-loaded speakers in room? I'm trying to model efficiency gains from different types of enclosures, and most modeling software comes painfully short... :Doh:

All the research I've done on horns doesn't give actual numbers for efficiency gains; of course, most of that is room/placement dependent, but some general guidelines would be nice to go on...

I've yet to find ANY good math on horns... let alond programs. Though, I prefer math & MS Excel.

well looky what I found http://www.mhsoft.nl/hornsystem.asp I've never used it myself. I hope it does what you're asking for. I'm looking through all my zipped speker apps now...I sure thought I had a horn program from Germany maybe??
