Low profile speaker enclosure

A speaker enclosure for mounting upon a structure, comprising:

• a) a speaker housing having a front face, a back separated from said front face, and at least one side,
• said front face, said back, and said at least one side of said speaker housing substantially defining a chamber,
• said front face defining a speaker aperture which opens into said chamber,
• said back substantially defining a channel and defining a back aperture opening both into said chamber and into said channel,
• at least one of said at least one side and said front face defining at least one sound port opening into said channel, the structure at least partially enclosing said channel and providing a pathway between said chamber and an external environment;
• and
• b) an electroacoustical transducer mounted in said speaker aperture.

A speaker enclosure for mounting upon a structure, comprising:

• a) a speaker housing having a front face, a back separated from said front face, and at least one side,
• said front face, said back, and said at least one side of said speaker housing defining a chamber,
• said front face defining a speaker aperture which opens into said chamber, said front face having a plurality of undulations,
• said back substantially defining a channel defining a back aperture opening into both said chamber and said channel,
• at least one of said at least one side and said front face defining at least one sound port opening into said channel,
• the structure at least partially enclosing said channel and providing a pathway between said chamber and an external environment;
• and
• b) an electroacoustical transducer mounted in said speaker aperture.

A method of forming a speaker port, comprising:

• a) acquiring a speaker enclosure having a housing and an electroacoustical transducer,
• said housing having a front face, a back separated from said front face, and at least one side,
• said front face, said back and said at least one side at least partially defining a chamber,
• said back substantially defining a channel and defining a back aperture, said back aperture opening into both said chamber and said channel,
• at least one of said at least one side and said front face defining a sound port providing an opening between said channel and an external environment;
• and
• b) coupling said low profile speaker enclosure to a structure such that said structure at least partially encloses said channel.

A speaker enclosure for mounting upon a structure, comprising:

• a) a speaker housing having a front face and a back each substantially defining a length and a width of said housing, and at least a first side substantially separating said front face and said back and at least partially defining a thickness of said speaker housing, said thickness being substantially less than one of said length and said width,
• said front face, said back, and said at least one side of said speaker housing substantially defining a chamber,
• said front face defining a speaker aperture which opens into said chamber,
• at least one of said side and said front face defining a sound port,
• said back substantially defining a channel and a back aperture, said back aperture and said sound port opening into said channel, the channel being at least partially enclosed by the structure;
• b) an electroacoustical transducer mounted in said speaker aperture;
• and
• c) a mounting means, said mounting means for securing said speaker enclosure to said structure.
