ABSTRACT:
A loudspeaker horn having improving directivity has a pair of smoothly flared vertical sidewalls joined to a pair of smoothly flared horizontal sidewalls. In an exemplary embodiment, one pair of sidewalls is generated as a surface of revolution, with the curvature of the surface being defined by a power series formula. The contour of the remaining pair of sidewalls is also defined by the power series formula, although different constants may be used. The vertical and horizontal sidewalls are separately defined and are substantially congruent at the rectangular or square mouth. In the exemplary embodiment, the gap formed at the back of one of the pairs of sidewalls is connected to the throat formed at the back of the other pair of sidewalls by a connecting section having an arcuate area which monotonically increases from the throat to the gap.
