Open baffle speakers
Open baffle speakers design is the simplest , to get bass response similar to other design , like ported, the baffle size must be huge to avoid low frequency degradations . Tipical size the baffle width 10-20" got weak bass performance. I am wondering how open baffle speakers design became so popular ?

@jaytor @coltrane1 Low bass, below 100 Hz is handily the most difficult part of the audio spectrum to evaluate by ear and even measurement can be tricky. The first tell that there are problems is the baffle shaking or vibrating with low notes. That vibration is distortion. The best way of measuring what is happening is comparing free air response to t in room measured response with short sinewave sweeps measuring at various locations. Regular enclosed subwoofers are bad enough, but Open baffle versions are all over the map. If you think you are getting anything below 30 Hz. Take a pair of subwoofers and put them across the room from one another. Flip one in and out of phase while playing a 25 Hz test tone. Please tell us what happens. |
