This modifies the resonance of the driver. In its simplest form a compound enclosure has two chambers. The dividing wall between the chambers holds the driver; typically only one chamber is ported. If the enclosure on each side of the woofer has a port in it then the enclosure yields a 6th-order band-pass response.
The ported cabinet demonstrates increased bass output in the 50–100 Hz range. On the right is a simulation of the low-frequency response of a typical 5" mid-woofer, the FaitalPRO 5FE120 [8] mid-woofer generated, obtained using WinISD, [9] for ideal sealed (yellow) and ported (cyan) enclosure configurations. The ported version adds about an ...
Bass reflex enclosure schematic (cross-section). RCA bass reflex shelf stereo speakers.. A bass reflex system (also known as a ported, vented box or reflex port) is a type of loudspeaker enclosure that uses a port (hole) or vent cut into the cabinet and a section of tubing or pipe affixed to the port.
A loudspeaker enclosure based on the concept was proposed in October 1965 by Dr A.R. Bailey in Wireless World magazine, referencing a production version of an acoustic-line enclosure design from Radford Electronics Ltd. [16] The article postulated that energy from the rear of a driver unit could be essentially absorbed, without damping the cone ...
A sealed enclosure prevents transmission of the sound emitted from the rear of the loudspeaker by confining the sound in a rigid and airtight box. Techniques used to reduce the transmission of sound through the walls of the cabinet include thicker cabinet walls, internal bracing and lossy wall material.
However, these enclosures are less efficient because, for the same driver, a dipole results in less sound pressure level than a closed or ported enclosure, and certainly far less than a properly designed horn. This means that the drivers mounted on a dipole enclosure must have large maximum excursions, large square areas, or both.
Types of wall systems with regard to water penetration are barrier, drainage and surface-sealed walls. [5] Barrier walls are designed to allow water to be absorbed but not penetrate the wall, and include concrete and some masonry walls. Drainage walls allow water that leaks into the wall to drain out such as cavity walls.
A transparent plastic housing around an electronic device. In engineering, a housing or enclosure is a container, a protective exterior (e.g. shell) or an enclosing structural element (e.g. chassis or exoskeleton) designed to enable easier handling, provide attachment points for internal mechanisms (e.g. mounting brackets for electrical components, cables and pipings), maintain cleanliness of ...
