A speaker assembly, comprising:
- a speaker;
- a body supporting the speaker in such a manner as to define a back chamber between the speaker and the body;
- and
- a plurality of vent ports formed in the body and extending through the body, each vent port of the plurality of vent ports comprising a first stage having a first diameter, a second stage located farther from the speaker than the first stage and having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, and a step between the first stage and the second stage.
A method of manufacturing a speaker assembly, the speaker assembly comprising a body, the method comprising:
- forming one or more vent ports through the body, wherein each vent port of the one or more vent ports comprises a first stage having a first diameter, a second stage located farther from the speaker than the first stage and having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, and a step between the first stage and the second stage.
