A subwoofer module comprising:
- a enclosure extending between a first enclosure end and a second enclosure end, wherein the first enclosure end defines an audio outlet opening;
- an extended port defined within a port chamber wall extending within the enclosure,
- the extended port extending along a port length dimension between a first port end and at least one second port end, the first port end is an open end defining the audio outlet opening;
- at least one elongate cabinet located within the enclosure, and extending parallel to the extended port, for at least a portion of a length of the cabinet;
- one or more driver-receiving openings adapted to receive one or more speaker drivers, wherein the driver-receiving openings are formed in the port chamber wall, and extend between the port and the at least one elongate cabinet.
A loudspeaker driver comprising:
- a housing extending between a first housing end and a second housing end, wherein the first housing end comprises an audio outlet opening;
- an elongated chamber defined within the housing, and extending along an extension axis between a first chamber end and a second chamber end, the first chamber end defining the audio outlet opening;
- and
- a translating member that translates within the elongated chamber along extension axis between an extended position and a retracted position.
A loudspeaker module comprising:
- a phase plug member comprising an audio inlet portion and an audio outlet portion, the audio outlet portion having a small cross-sectional area than the audio inlet portion,
- wherein the audio inlet portion is adapted to interface over an audio loudspeaker driver;
- and
- a waveguide member comprising:
- (i) a waveguide audio inlet area, (ii) one or more audio outlet openings, and (iii) one or more acoustic waveguide channels connecting the audio inlet area to the one or more audio outlet openings,
- wherein the waveguide audio inlet area interfaces over the audio outlet portion of the phase plug member, and
- the waveguide inlet area and audio outlet portion have similar cross-sectional areas.
