JERICHO Horn Speaker
![]() |
Here is my HORN It is self made. I use 21mm MDF. The driver is a FOSTEX FE 208 SIGMA Diameter of the Driver is 230 mm. The complete Horn has a efficency of 100 dB with 2,83 Volt input in 1 meter. The Driver has a Impedance of 8 Ohms so 2,83 Volts are exactly 1 Watt input power. The Dynamic is enormus. The plan was in the German Magazine " Klang und Ton" issue 2/96 and it is called the JERICHO HORN. I am very happy with the sound. This is the perfect speaker for single ended amp's.Picture of the FOSTEX FE 208 SIGMA driver ![]() |

The correction network. It is used to get a smoth frequency cure in the middle. This you can see in the frequency picture. Without the correction network you get the upper curve in the middle frequency's. R2 and C2 are to smooth the impedance curve. You don't need them if your amp is a transistor design R2= 10 ... 33 Ohm, C2= 15 uF L1=1,0mH - air coil, wire diameter 1,4mm or more C1=2,2uF MKP or MKP-SN or better one R1= 10 Ohm / 20 Watt Metall, I use 10 * 100 Ohm / 2Watt parallel |

The only damping material in the Horn is about 50gr. wool just behind the driver. You can experiment with the amount of wool to get the bass respose you need for your room. 50gr. is in my opinion a good starting point. I got the best results with it. Also a good idea is to double the back side and the side's of the mouth opening to get no coloration from "swinging" side and back wall's. See on the picture beside. This picture was send to me from someone who has build the horns. ( Sorry I forgot who it was, please give me a notice when you read this. ) |
