Tractrix ® Horns have for many years been the driving force behind Klipsch’s stunningly precise acoustics. Featured in every Klipsch speaker category, except for headphones and subwoofers, this proprietary technology provides a unique combination of precision, clarity …

Aug 30, 2019 · How the new horn profile compares to the common tractrix profile can be gathered from the last picture. The black lines are the common tractrix horn profile with 400 Hz cut-off frequency and the red lines the new proposed true expansion tractrix horn.

In geometry, a tractrix (from Latin trahere ' to pull, drag '; plural: tractrices) is the curve along which an object moves, under the influence of friction, when pulled on a horizontal plane by a line segment attached to a pulling point (the tractor) that moves at a right angle to the initial line between the object and the puller at an ...

Tractrix for multi sided Traxtrix horns with polygonal cross section. Polygonal Tractrix, Rev. 5, ZIP file 1.2MB. This version of the Tractrix calculation sheet serves to design multi sided (petal) horns.

The different types of loudspeaker horns include exponential horns, conical horns, tractrix horns, and hyperbolic horns. Each type has its own design and characteristics that affect sound dispersion and frequency response.

The Tractrix Theory attempts to address the "shape" and resultant character of the sound, taking into account the nature and shape of the horn itself, and the "tugging" effects of natural forces, such as friction with the air.

Mar 22, 2017 · The most notable differences have been the exponential midrange horns of the Klipsch Heritage series vs. the modified tractrix horns--the K-510 and the K-402, and the other modified tractrix designs on the Forte II, Chorus II, Quartet, etc.

The redesigned Tractrix Horn utilizes a circular horn throat paired to a square horn mouth to further improve high-frequency response and extension while enhancing imaging and dynamics. The compressed molded rubber construction adds high-frequency damping to reduce harshness and improve detail.
