Acoustic rear radiation absorption for loudspeaker systems

摘要

A loudspeaker system is provided wherein sound absorptive foam material is affixed to the sides of the loudspeaker cabinet so as to absorb that portion of the sound radiated from the loudspeaker that is directed towards the rear of the loudspeaker system, thereby serving in eliminating sound reflections from the walls of the room. This results in an overall system which can more accurately reproduce the recording site ambience inherent in a recording and which permits more accurate and natural imaging, i.e., more precise localization of voice and instrument placement within the soundfield of a pair of stereo loudspeakers.
