Phase plug

Which one of you sparkles wants to guide me through the concept of a phase plug and how to go about designing one in horns resp? all help appreciated

Hey dnb123, check: Centuri Audio for an in depth guide on phase plugs.

Thanks man

Really interesting, but I'm still unsure about how to aply to a design on horns reap, closest thing I can do is calculate the volume of the throat, then take away the volume of a phase plug and by trial and error figure out a good one. However I'm totally aware that by doing this the program is not simulating the phase plug, instead a throat the size of the one with the phase plug in, any tips?

I wish I were advanced enough to help! I am just far enough along to get myself into trouble If I stray to far from the beaten path.

P.S. That was one of my gripes about the BFM designs. They were calling a diffuser plate a Phase plug. While as you probably already know, depending on the Frequency range the cabinet has to function in. A simple diffuser plate can be sufficient. Almost all of the full range designs they sell need a true Phase plug and don't have it. They make up some of that with a driver that is really suited for a guitar cab... It still leaves a hole in the Midrange.

Yeah I get you, no worries I'm sure you know more than me! I'm trying to incorporate the 10" rcf kit with the phase plug into this design,but I want to simulate it first before building

This top with rcf phase plug

At the moment your way ahead of me...You already built the right cabs from BFM and are continuing to expand and explore! Actually I should get out of this thread because it is beyond where I really can help!
Wishing you the best though!

Haha alright man, thanks anyways, check back in a few weeks, maybe you can learn from the answer aswell
