Abstract

The acoustic enclosure comprises a box, on which is mounted at least one electro-acoustic transducer, and a vent which together with the box produces a bass-reflex system with a specified bass-reflex resonant frequency. The vent comprises means of attenuation at the bass-reflex resonant frequency. Included is an audiovisual apparatus comprising a display device and such an enclosure.

Claims (7)

1. An acoustic enclosure comprising a box, on which is mounted at least one electro-acoustic transducer, and a vent which together with the box produces a bass-reflex system with a specified bass-reflex resonant frequency,

wherein the vent comprises an aperture and means of attenuation at said bass-reflex resonant frequency, the vent including at least one flexible plate.

2. The enclosure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vent comprises at least one plate whose mechanical resonant frequency is close to the bass-reflex resonance.

3. The enclosure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vent comprises at least one plate whose mechanical resonant frequency is practically equal to the bass-reflex resonant frequency.

4. The enclosure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein that the vent comprises two flexible plates which define a vent volume opening into an aperture of the box.

5. The enclosure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electro-acoustic transducer is a loudspeaker with hard suspension.

6. An audiovisual apparatus, wherein it comprises a display device and an acoustic enclosure comprising a box, on which is mounted at least one electro-acoustic transducer, and a vent which together with the box produces a bass-reflex system wit a specified bass-reflex resonant frequency, the vent comprising an aperture and means of attenuation at said bass-reflex resonant frequency, the vent including at least one flexible plate.
