The present invention relates to a novel acoustical chamber for enclosed
loudspeakers which help direct and control sound waves within the
enclosure thereby enhancing sound output. The present invention utilizes
a method of progressive damping which utilizes multiple layers of damping
material or layers of material with variable density or damping
characteristics within an enclosed chamber. The damping material is
arranged such that the density of the material in the chamber decreases
as the distance from the driver increases. The damping materials may also
be configured such that the density of the material in the chamber
increases as the transverse distance from the center of the chamber
increases, that is, the density of the material along the outer surfaces
of the chamber is denser than material which is transversely inward from
the outer surfaces.
