A hornspeaker is a loudspeaker which uses a horn to increase the overall efficiency of the driving element, typically a diaphragm driven by an electromagnet.
The most well known early hornspeakers are those on mechanical phonographs, where the record moves a heavy metal needle that excites vibrations in a small metal diaphragm that acts as the driver for a horn.
Hornspeakers are used in many audio applications, since use of a horn reduces the need for exotic speakercone materials and construction, eg, to be as lightweight and rigid as possible.

At the most fundamental level, a hornspeaker (Someone who expresses in language; someone who talks (especially someone who delivers a public speech or someone especially garrulous)) uses a "horn" to get more sound (volume) from the driving loudspeaker.
The horn should not just be a cone of fixed length, since this would resonate at the natural frequency of its length.
Hornspeaker efficiency is also applied to provide very high sound pressure levels needed for sound reinforcement and public address applications, although in these applications, fidelity is usually severely compromised and large multispeaker combinations or arrays are used (see also bass bins).
All their systems to date have been front horn loaded over most of the spectrum, which gives them very high efficiency, high power handling capability with low distortion (because both sides of the diaphragm are loaded), and hence very clear, clean sound up to very loud levels.
Speakers with front horn loading are noted for preserving this dynamic impact and vividness, thereby bringing you closer to the sound of live music in this aspect.
We are very sensitive to horn coloration, and indeed we hear a slight bit of it in the low end of the midrange from Avantgarde's large TRIO and DUO systems, and in the high end of the midrange from the UNO.

The horn itself does not amplify anything, but rather improves the coupling between the speaker driver (typically made of paper or, more recently, more exotic materials such as titanium) and the air (which has a very low density).
The horn should not just be a cone shape of fixed length, since this would resonate at the natural frequency of its length.
Hornspeaker efficiency is also applied to provide very high sound pressure levels needed for sound reinforcement and public address applications, although in these high sound pressure applications, high fidelity may sometimes be compromised because large multispeaker combinations or arrays are used and distortion increases with volume.
The present invention is a reflex folded hornloudspeaker enclosure system for a single multi-range speaker or multiple single range speakers which provides a quality bass sound.
The speaker opening cover and the loudspeaker drivers are the only elements that are not made of wood.
The air space in the loudspeaker enclosure between the sealed driver enclosure and the speaker opening re-mixes the resulting sound waves separated within the sealed driver enclosure and presents a balanced sound to the speaker opening.

The way the projected sound coming from this spinning horn is reflected off surfaces in the environment is similar to a Leslie unit.
In April 2007, Andrew Bird performed live on the Late Show with David Letterman using both the Janus horn and his Specimen single hornspeaker which has been part of his sound for the past two years.
Janus was frequently used to symbolize change and transitions such as the progression of future to past, of one condition to another, of one vision to another, the growing up of young people, and of one universe to another.
The chamber was adjusted to a vol of 5 liters and the horn throat is 60 square cm.
Soundstage extends beyond the speaker boundaries and is very wide and deep.
I wonder why most people who write about their impressions on horn loaded full range speakers complain about less bass - I think the bass is tight, tuneful and correct.
Aliante are high quality speaker systems coming with superb design (Pininfarina), carefully handcrafted in Italy by an experienced factory with custom drivers and state-of the-art components.
Rear loaded horns based on drivers by Lowther and isophon, including The Spiral Horn and a PA speaker.
It can be used to calculate the performance of a moving coil drive unit mounted on an infinite baffle or in a closed or a reflex (vented) enclosure.
I bought a couple of battery sets, some 201-A tubes and a hornspeaker at an auction of a bankrupt radio store in San Diego.
