OP E R AT I N G / FE AT U R E S

A major design challenge when building a vented speaker enclosure is the turbulence generated by the air moving through the port. The air move- ment causes harmonic distortion as well as a whistling noise from the port. The Aeroport was designed to reduce this effect. Inspired by the bell on a brass instrument, the flanges on the ends of the Aeroport reduce the air friction and distortion inherent in the operation of a conventional tube.
