An Expanded Explanation Of Sealed Vs Ported / Bass-Relfex & Passive Radiator Designs
Ported systems (including designs with passive radiators) are 4th order hi-pass systems. They use an acoustic resonator (either a port or a passive radiator) to increase system efficiency, reduce driver excursion and extend the low frequency response of a given speaker. All this is well and good except they also...
