The connection between horn and compression driver

HornSolutions uncompromising design commitments.

We exclusively use exponential horns and compression drivers.

Many speaker manufacturers make design and size compromises, but at HornSolutions, we are committed to delivering the best sound—without compromise. Our horn loudspeakers combine the superior characteristics of exponential horns with the highest efficiency and detail accuracy of our specially developed compression driver, the HornSolutions 666. While others opt for smaller horn flanges to achieve a higher Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF), we focus solely on uncompromising acoustics.

Why the HornSolutions 666?


 

Our compression driver, the HornSolutions 666, is a technological leader and offers significant advantages over conventional speaker drivers and other compression drivers.

1. **High Efficiency** 

With an efficiency of 112 dB, the 666 achieves exceptional sound pressure levels with minimal amplifier power. Just 0.3 watts is more than enough to delight your neighbors.

2. **Lower Distortion**

Thanks to minimal diaphragm excursion, nonlinear distortions are virtually eliminated, resulting in an extremely clean and precise sound reproduction.

3. **Fastest Impulse Response**

The diaphragm of the HornSolutions 666 weighs only 1.6 grams, and the motor delivers 23.500Gauss —allowing for an unprecedentedly fast response. This enables exceptional micro dynamics and reveals details that you have never heard before.


 

4. **Extended Frequency Range** 

The HornSolutions 666 operates from 80 Hz to 6,000 Hz, covering the essential midrange frequencies with the highest precision.

Why Exponential Horns?


 

While some manufacturers use Tractrix, spherical, conical, or waveguide horns because they are more compact, we rely exclusively on exponential horns—and for good reason:

- **Maximum Efficiency**

Exponential horns provide the best acoustic impedance matching. This ensures no energy is lost, preserving the purity of the sound.

- **Precise Directivity**

While waveguide horns create diffuse dispersion that leads to unwanted reflections, exponential horns maintain controlled, directional sound projection.

- **More Linear Frequency Response with Longer Horns**

Longer horns allow for smoother impedance matching over a greater distance, resulting in a significantly more balanced frequency response.

- **Lower Cutoff Frequency with Larger Horn Mouths**

The size of the horn mouth determines how deep the horn can play. While other manufacturers opt for smaller horn flanges. due to design constraints, we use large-format exponential horns to achieve truly authentic bass reproduction.

Comparison with Other Horn Designs.

1. **Exponential vs. Tractrix Horns**

Tractrix horns offer a softer dispersion but at the cost of efficiency. Exponential horns deliver the highest efficiency and exceptional sound projection.

2. **Exponential vs. Spherical Horns**

Spherical horns provide a broader horizontal dispersion but with less controlled directivity. Exponential horns focus sound more precisely and reduce unwanted room reflections.

3. **Exponential vs. Waveguide Horns**

Waveguide horns are known for their homogeneous sound dispersion but lack efficiency. Exponential horns achieve higher sound pressure levels with less amplifier power.

Why HornSolutions?


 

While many manufacturers avoid large horns to make their speakers more home environment friendly, we remain steadfast in our commitment to sound quality. Our goal is not the smallest solution but instead a no compromise solution. The HornSolutions 666 compression driver, combined with our custom-designed exponential horn, guarantees an unparalleled listening experience with maximum transparency, dynamics, and depth.

Companies mantra.

When it comes to 100% real horn loudspeakers, there are no compromises—there is only HornSolutions.
