Abstract

The present invention is to provide a loudspeaker enclosure structure which includes a hollow housing being a barrel-shaped housing whose outer surface is concavely provided with a plurality of directional grooves each evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the hollow housing and extending from the front end to rear end of the hollow housing, and a reflective cover having a front side fixed to a rear opening of the hollow housing and concavely provided with an annular reflective groove adjacent to the periphery of the reflective cover. The hollow housing has a receiving space therein which is in communication with each directional groove through the reflective groove. Therefore, the sound generated by a loudspeaker fixed in the receiving space will not only propagate out of the front end of the hollow housing, but also be transmitted to the space surrounding the hollow housing by way of the directional grooves.
