Abstract
A method and correction circuit for improving and controlling the listening window and response of a two-way loudspeaker system utilizing a horn-loaded high frequency driver. The correction circuit includes adjustable active all-pass and band-pass filters, in a specific arrangement, coupled with conventional cross-over filters to achieve a maximally flat amplitude and phase response acoustically throughout a preferred listening window. A spectrum analyzer measures the near-field responses of the individual and combined transducers while adjustments are made. A phase shifting circuit is included in the low frequency channel which results in improved near-field to far-field response consistency and significantly improves the subjective characteristics of the high frequency horn.
