Default Hand-Held Megaphones: Rubber ring around edge of Horn

wrote:

I am sure it does affect the sound, but in a very small way. If you did it
with alot large horn and an audiophile driver in it, I am sure the "golden
ear" crowd could tell the difference.

The way to test it would be a short burst tone and a scope to read the
ringing. Or perhaps a square wave and you watch the leading edges. Or
course it might only be difference of 8 cycles versus ten cycles.


It would reduce ringing in the metal or fibreglass 'bell' of the horn.
Just tap the horn and listen to the 'clang' sound with and without the
ring.
