Speaker adapted to corner-loaded installation

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A limited space, small enclosure bass speaker module is shown for, providing an enchanced perception and sound level of bass frequencies. An acoustic transducer is mounted on an end of a closed elongated cylindrical, member of rigid construction. The cylinder provides acoustic loading of the transducer, and can be either an acoustic suspension or a bass reflex form; the bass reflex form has the bass reflex port located coplanar to the transducer. The resulting structure is an oriented point source. The module is then acoustically coupled to its surroundings by being mounted so that the transducer face is in a corner. The result is to convert the surrounding environment into one element of a …
