A speaker system suppresses standing waves generated in the system and
reproduces clear and dynamic bass sound. The system includes a cabinet
formed of acoustic insulation walls, and at least one partition wall
situated inside the cabinet to form a space by surrounding the space. The
partition wall suppresses the standing waves generated inside the cabinet
and is formed of a material having high internal loss. The space has a
total capacity more than one tenth of a capacity of the cabinet, wherein
a closed end of the partition wall is located between one-half and
four-fifths of a distance from one end to the other end, and an opening
area of the same partition wall is located at a side opposite to the
closed end in a longitudinal direction of the cabinet. The opening area
is located between four-fifths and five fifths of a distance from one end
to the other end. The material has a density per volume greater than 0.1
g/cm.sup.3, a density per area from 0.01 g/cm.sup.2 to 0.21 g/cm.sup.2
and a characteristic of semi-transmission for the standing waves. The
partition wall has a closed end portion. The closed end portion is formed
of at least one of the partition wall and the acoustic isolation walls.
The space is a substantially closed space.
