Principles of speaker cabinet design
The volume of the cabinet has al-ways
had a crucial influence on a dynamic
loudspeaker's
reproduction
frequencies. The design and construction
of the enclosure also has an important
influence on the level of bass response
and the lower limit frequency.
We at make use of different design
principles for our speakers, depending on
the size of the cabinet and its main
intended use:
1.
Sealed cabinet
2.
Bass reflex cabinet
3.
Transmission Absorbing Line cabinet
4.
Transmission line Carbon fibre Impuls
1. Sealed cabinet
This is the simplest design. The low-
of
low
frequency driver unit is installed in a
sealed, air-tight, damped enclosure.
The sound from the rear face of the
membrane is absorbed inside the cabinet.
If the driver units and the parameters of
the en-closure are correctly designed, the
result is a speaker with very good impulse
response.
We use sealed cabinets for our actively
regulated loudspeakers and sub-woofers,
such as the TCI 1 Aktiv, TCI 2 Aktiv and
TW 600.
