Beamwidth

 

The axial directivity factor Rθ (formerly Q) of the HP420 horn was computed at each one-third-octave center frequency from the horizontal/vertical polars. The graph in Figure 2 illustrates this data over the range 500 Hz to 20 kHz. The axial frequency response of the HP420 with a particular driver is in close correspondence to that driver’s power response above 500 Hz.

A plot of the HP420’s 6-dB-down total included beamwidth angle is shown in Figure 3 for each one-third-octave center frequency. The horizontal beamwidth is maintained at 40° (+20°, -10°) over the range of 650 Hz to 20 kHz. Vertical beamwidth control occurs only above 2.2 kHz because of the relatively short vertical dimension of the horn’s mouth.
