A bandpass loudspeaker enclosure having three sub chambers, a first
subchamber being a Helmholtz-reflex chamber with a passive acoustic
radiator operating in parallel with the transducer, and the remaining two
chambers utilizing two passive acoustic radiators to achieve three
Helmholtz-reflex vent tunings and a multiple of low pass acoustic filters
that provide an acoustic bandpass with reduced diaphragm displacement and
substantially reduced distortion and pipe resonances above the pass band.
A further embodiment provides a reduced lowest frequency vent size for a
given low frequency subchamber size and tuning frequency.
