Alternative term: Trumpet

A flared tube designed to match the acoustic impedance to the impedance of the atmosphere; it can behave as a resonator and can influence the directivity; the narrow end is called the throat and the large end the mouth.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
