On the Directivity of Horn Loudspeakers

A numerical method is used to calculate the directional properties of unbaffled horn loudspeakers. Both axisymmetric horns and horns with rectangular cross sections are investigated. The conical horn is investigated in most detail. Based on numerical results a simple method to determine the directional properties of a horn is proposed.
