Advanced Transition Horns
by Marcel Batík


"Advanced Transition Horns" (ATH) are acoustic horns and waveguides created utilizing formulas described in the following papers.
These novel formulas combine a controlled-directivity approach of Dr. Earl Geddes (OS waveguide) with an all-smooth horn-to-free-air transition,
providing a modern, high-performance blend for quality sound reproduction.


Papers on horns:

OS-SE Waveguide (pdf) / baffle mounted
