WHAT DOES EXPONENTIAL HORN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Horn loudspeaker

A horn loudspeaker is a loudspeaker or loudspeaker element which uses a horn to increase the overall efficiency of the driving element. A common form consists of a compression driver which produces sound waves with a small metal diaphragm vibrated by an electromagnet, attached to a horn, a flaring duct to conduct the sound waves to the open air. Another type is a woofer driver mounted in a loudspeaker enclosure which is divided by internal partitions to form a zigzag flaring duct which functions as a horn; this type is called a folded horn speaker. The horn serves to improve the coupling efficiency between the speaker driver and the air. The horn can be thought of as an "acoustic transformer" that provides impedance matching between the relatively dense diaphragm material and the less-dense air. The result is greater acoustic output power from a given driver. The narrow part of the horn next to the driver is called the "throat" and the large part farthest away from the driver is called the "mouth". The angular coverage of the horn is determined by the shape and flare of the mouth.

Definition of exponential horn in the English dictionary

The definition of exponential horn in the dictionary is a horn for the radiation of acoustic or high-frequency electromagnetic waves, of which the cross-sectional area increases exponentially with the length.
