Abstract
A vented loudspeaker system is provided which has at least one active driver and a port opening in a speaker cabinet, Disks or baffle plates are mounted a predetermined distance to and concentric to the port opening, resulting in a vented system achieving an equivalent performance as would result from a flared, ducted port, but with several performance advantages and simpler construction. Flow guides are provided, attached to the disks or baffle plates, extending back into the port to block areas of stagnant air and enhance laminar air flow.
