CD Horn Filter

• Open the CD Horn block's properties by double-clicking the block or hovering and clicking the properties icon that appears in the upper right of the block's title bar. The dialog displays the frequency response of the CD Horn filter. The 6 dB per octave boost that starts at the specified Frequency is intended to compensate for the 6 dB per octave roll-off inherent in constant directivity horn loudspeakers. From here, you can do the following:
  • Set the Frequency control of the CD Horn filter to the cut-off frequency (3 dB-down point) of your CD horn.
  • Show phase response by selecting the Phase checkbox in the View box (upper right corner). (By default, only the magnitude of the frequency response is displayed on the graph.)
  • Bypass the filter by selecting the Bypass checkbox in the lower right corner. Bypassing a filter routes audio around the filter, effectively turning the block into a wire.
