LONGITUDINALLY DIVIDED LOUDSPEAKER PORT WITH INCREASED AERODYNAMIC EFFICIENCY

摘要

The present invention is an improved loudspeaker enclosure port with internal longitudinal dividers which help reduce turbulence in the port and control port selfresonance. Preferred embodiments of the present invention comprise a central circular tube or rod with radial dividers connecting the central tube to the internal wall of the port. The internal longitudinal dividers of the present invention are thought to reduce air friction losses in the port and to reduce cross-flow turbulence in the port yielding a more responsive speaker with more uniform aerodynamic drag on the driver diaphragm.
