almost no flare in the vertical direction. And for the lower x-over even less.
I can send your contact info to the people at LMH.... his last claim was that he needed to build a box for the horns to go in.... this would be done after he glued the halves together.... when I question delays (it took two weeks to glue the halves together) I get "covid19" as a reason why....I had delays with another company taking too long to respond... they had covid too... hard to be mad if they are telling the truth.... also very convenient
I know them. Dont worry. just get a Euro pallet and screw some wood boards to them and done. Its 20US$ each. Euro pallet size is 1,20m x 0,80m. I know US has bad cheap oneway pallets made out of exotic wood. One Euro can do 2000lbs.
Most people here have their booster vaccination and especially these people have caught Covid19. I can guarantee you: ALL people that come in contact with children in Kindergarden or school WILL catch Covid19. I had it, my family had, everyone has, followed by quaranteen. We used quaranteen to do work which needed to be done. ;-)

Do you happen to know how much shipping for the 2 horns would cost?
I emailed that I had friend there that could help with shipping, of course no answer yet, but we will see.
In this type of business, likely a one or two-person operation, having two weeks off sick can cause utter chaos - for weeks or months while you play catch up after the actual illness. Likewise, if you have to stay home to look after the kids, or your suppliers can't send you materials in typical time frames... nothing happens in a vacuum. Much of Europe is also only just coming out of mandatory isolation periods for positive close contact with an infected person, even if testing negative.
For a single full-height Euro pallet with decent packing crate sides, three hundred dollars should cover a slow (multiple weeks) sea transit with all import duties and paperwork. Sea freight is usually only concerned about volume, and whether it can be stacked upon in the container. You will pay for space that cannot be used - such as if your horns are not in a solid crate, or spill off the side of the pallet by even a few centimetres.
Our hauliers call this the 'door-to-door' service, and it is very much recommended if you'd like to receive your goods instead of having to drive to a shipping yard to fill out forms and pay taxes. That said, everything costs more now and Germany is not the UK, so I might be off.
If you want to have them fast, then budget significantly more than a thousand dollars to send them next day by air. Air freight is by weight and volume.

Please check UPS SCS for airfreight and choose "Consolidated". They have a nice online calculator: https://wwwapps.ups.com/fctc/timean...essExperience___StartSession&FREIGHT_TYPE=Air Dimensional weight is LxWxH/5000. You can estimate 15US$/kg end price. You dont want sea freight as long as you dont want to have cracked horns.
I guess its not nice anywhere😊Its not nice to have wood on the sea for a month.
I pulled this quote to set the premise, at least somewhat....I looking to fact check these definitions, find more or more elaborate definitions as not to further complicate things in this threads here
Based of these definitions, I stated that all output from a horn/waveguide/woofer on baffle, is a mix of direct and indirect sound energy, with the exception of sound energy that becomes so direction from the radiator that it misses the walls of the horn/waveguide/baffle and as well, the case for a baffle-less driver. The walls of the horn/waveguide are a baffle and source of reflection, likening to that baffle of any other enclosure... so any part of that output that includes these reflections are now classified as indirect sound.
1.1.2. Sound Field Definitions (see ISO 12001)
1.1.2.1. Free field The free field is a region in space where sound may propagate free from any form of obstruction.
1.1.2.2. Near field The near field of a source is the region close to a source where the sound pressure and acoustic particle velocity are not in phase. In this region the sound field does not decrease by 6 dB each time the distance from the source is increased (as it does in the far field). The near field is limited to a distance from the source equal to about a wavelength of sound or equal to three times the largest dimension of the sound source (whichever is the larger).
1.1.2.3. Far field The far field of a source begins where the near field ends and extends to infinity. Note that the transition from near to far field is gradual in the transition region. In the far field, the direct field radiated by most machinery sources will decay at the rate of 6 dB each time the distance from the source is doubled. For line sources such as traffic noise, the decay rate varies between 3 and 4 dB.
1.1.2.4. Direct field The direct field of a sound source is defined as that part of the sound field which has not suffered any reflection from any room surfaces or obstacles. 1.1.2.5. Reverberant field The reverberant field of a source is defined as that part of the sound field radiated by a source which has experienced at least one reflection from a boundary of the room or enclosure containing the source.
This has correct and incorrect points. Yes, all receivers in a room are a mixture of direct and indirect energy. But they are not synched in time and that makes all the difference. The ear knows the difference, that's how we localize.
In a proper waveguide, the sound always progresses along the surface, never normal to it (except for HOMs), so there is no "reflection" and what comes out of the mouth is clearly "direct". Diffraction horns will suffer from this but not a good waveguide.
Ok ok ok....So can the same be said about non diffraction horn....and The baffle of the woofer, before it reaches the edge?
