Abstract
A speaker enclosure and method of building same is provided for redirecting standing waves outside the enclosure. The enclosure includes an exterior and an interior comprised of a body having six interior surfaces defining the interior. One of the surfaces has a speaker opening and another of the surfaces has a tuned port opening and defines four corners opposite the speaker opening. An element having an acoustically reflective surface faces the interior and is positioned in a plane that intersects and is inclined with respect to each of the interior surfaces that form the corner. A handle system that includes an attachment means is mounted to the exterior of the enclosure. A rotatable and detachable handle is mounted to the attachment means.
Claims25
A speaker enclosure with interior corners, comprising an element shaped like a tetrahedron mounted to one of said interior corners.
A speaker enclosure having three interior surfaces defining a corner, comprising an acoustically reflective surface positioned in a plane that intersects and is inclined with respect to each of said interior surfaces that form said corner.
A speaker enclosure having an interior, comprising:
- a body having six interior surfaces defining said interior of said enclosure, wherein one of said surfaces having a speaker opening and the other of said surfaces defining four corners opposite said speaker opening;
- and
- an element having an acoustically reflective surface facing said interior is positioned in a plane that intersects and is inclined with respect to each of said interior surfaces that form said corner.
