High output loudspeaker
View Patent ↗A loudspeaker system includes a speaker enclosure having an opening in a front wall, and a speaker manifold mounted within the speaker enclosure and communicating with the opening. The speaker manifold includes a pair of substantially parallel side walls, a back wall, and top and bottom walls, defining a manifold chamber. The wall opposite the back wall is substantially open to define a manifold opening and to permit the communicating. The manifold opening is substantially in alignment with the front wall opening. A woofer is mounted on a first wall of the speaker manifold. An acoustic vent is mounted on a second wall of the manifold, such that the woofer and the acoustic vent face each other at one of about a 180 degree angle or about a 90 degree angle.
1. A loudspeaker system, comprising:
a speaker enclosure having an opening;
a speaker manifold shaped substantially as a rectangular box to define a manifold chamber, the manifold chamber mounted within said enclosure and communicating with said opening,
said rectangular box including a back wall, four side walls, and an open front side, said front side substantially in alignment with said opening;
a woofer mounted on a first one of the side walls; and
a passive radiator mounted on a second one of the side walls facing the first side wall or a third one of the side walls that is substantially perpendicular to the first side wall.
2. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 1 , wherein a surround of the woofer is in alignment with the first side wall and a surround of the passive radiator is in alignment with the side wall that the passive radiator is mounted on.
3. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the surround of the woofer is partially covered by the speaker enclosure.
4. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the speaker enclosure further includes a power amplifier.
5. The loudspeaker system as recited in claim 1 , wherein a surface of the passive radiator is oval shaped.
6. A loudspeaker system, comprising:
a speaker enclosure having an opening;
a speaker manifold shaped substantially as a rectangular box to define a manifold chamber, the manifold chamber mounted within said enclosure and communicating with said opening,
said rectangular box including a back wall, four side walls, and an open front side, said front side substantially in alignment with said opening;
a woofer mounted on a first one of the side walls; and
an air port mounted on a second one of the side walls facing the first side wall or a third one of the side walls that is substantially perpendicular to the first side wall.
