Abstract

Disclosed is a sub-woofer module which has a simple construction and provides a good low-frequency bass in compliance with an audience's taste. The sub-woofer module has an enclosure, a baffle board which separates the enclosure into first and second chambers, and a speaker coupled to the baffle board. The baffle board is engaged with a screw shaft and moves upward and backward along the screw shaft to vary the volume of the first and second chambers. A reverse-conical cap is disposed above the enclosure to permit the upwardly projected sound to be projected in 360 degrees, and a conical base is disposed below the enclosure to permit the downwardly projected sound to be projected in 360 degrees. The audience can listen to sound of the same quality regardless their position in relation to the sub-woofer module.
