An acoustic impedance matching enclosure is provided having a driver
loaded into a chamber buffering the throat/mouth of a closed loop
transmission line. Transmission line consists of a termination member,
outer and inner enclosure walls, high-density lining and throat/mouth
area. Transmission line eliminates internal random standing waves while
providing variable-frequency standing waves that through superposition of
the waves compensates for mass-acceleration loss of the high-end of the
driver output while damping the resonance of the driver. Alternative
application of the acoustic impedance matching enclosure is that of
compression loading the driver directly into the closed loop transmission
line and using an acoustic low pass filter to translate the output into
low frequencies only through a port. Both applications of the acoustic
impedance matching enclosure are to insure that the drivers' diaphragm is
clear of disruptive internal standing waves, properly loaded at all
frequencies and not easily affected by room reflections.
