RE: Conceptual idea behind Karlson

John Karlson's "Acoustic Transducer" was included in his 1950's list of inventions and meant to add a type of reverb besides impedance transformation though a high-low pressure leak combined with coupled-cavity action. They were used for sound reinforcement at the 1964-65 World's Fair by Disney, etc.

Karlson's (and type) couplers have 2:1 apparent chamber volume ratios. Karlson's "asymmetric projectors" had 1:1.

"K-horn" is common reference to Paul Klipsch's famous "Klipschorn"

Karlson had an odd/novel approach but IME was anything but "clueless"

1952
