Loudspeaker Enclosure

Abstract

A loudspeaker enclosure is disclosed which comprises an inner cabinet having a front baffle for mounting one or more loudspeaker drivers, the inner cabinet being a self-sustaining enclosure, and an outer cabinet covering at least a half of the inner cabinet surface area but exposing the one or more loudspeaker drivers, the outer cabinet keeping a gap from the inner cabinet.

1 . A loudspeaker enclosure comprising:
 an inner cabinet having a front baffle for mounting one or more loudspeaker drivers, the inner cabinet being a self-sustaining enclosure; and   an outer cabinet covering at least a half of the inner cabinet surface area but exposing the one or more loudspeaker drivers, the outer cabinet being self-sustaining and keeping a gap from the inner cabinet.   
   
   
       2 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the gap between the inner and outer cabinet is less than a half inch distance. 
   
   
       3 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the side walls of both the inner and outer cabinets are at least one half inch thick. 
   
   
       4 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein both the inner and outer cabinets are box-shaped, and the inner cabinet has panels in all six sides, while the outer cabinet has panels on five sides leaving the loudspeaker driver mounting side of the inner cabinet exposed. 
   
   
       5 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 4  further comprising a panel partially covering the loudspeaker driver mounting side of the inner cabinet but still exposing the one or more loudspeaker drivers. 
   
   
       6 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 1  further comprising one or more spacers in the gap between the inner and outer cabinet, the spacers being made of a vibration damping material. 
   
   
       7 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 1  further comprising a filling material in the gap between the inner and outer cabinet, the filling material being a sound proofing material. 
   
   
       8 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 1  further comprising one or more fastening devices holding the inner and outer cabinets together. 
   
   
       9 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the side walls of the inner cabinet are made of a low-density-fiberboard, while the side walls of the outer cabinet are made of a medium-density-fiberboard. 
   
   
       10 . A loudspeaker enclosure comprising:
 an inner cabinet having a front baffle for mounting one or more loudspeaker drivers, the inner cabinet being a self-sustaining enclosure with side walls at least one half inch thick; and   an outer cabinet covering at least a half of the inner cabinet surface area but exposing the one or more loudspeaker drivers, the outer cabinet being self-sustaining with side walls at least one half inch thick and keeping a gap from the inner cabinet.   
   
   
       11 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 10 , wherein the gap between the inner and outer cabinet are less than a half inch distance. 
   
   
       12 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 10 , wherein both the inner and outer cabinets are box-shaped, and the inner cabinet has panels in all six sides, while the outer cabinet has panels on five sides leaving the loudspeaker driver mounting side of the inner cabinet exposed. 
   
   
       13 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 12  further comprising a panel partially covering the loudspeaker driver mounting side of the inner cabinet but still exposing the one or more loudspeaker drivers. 
   
   
       14 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 10  further comprising one or more spacers in the gap between the inner and outer cabinet, the spacers being made of a vibration damping material. 
   
   
       15 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 10  further comprising a filling material between the inner and outer cabinet, the filling material being a sound proofing material. 
   
   
       16 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 10  further comprising one or more fastening devices holding the inner and outer cabinets together. 
   
   
       17 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 10 , wherein the side walls of the inner cabinet are made of a low-density-fiberboard, while the side walls of the outer cabinet are made of a high-density-fiberboard. 
   
   
       18 . A loudspeaker enclosure comprising:
 an inner cabinet having a front baffle for mounting one or more loudspeaker drivers, the inner cabinet being a self-sustaining enclosure with side walls at least one half inch thick; and   an outer cabinet covering at least a half of the inner cabinet surface area but exposing the one or more loudspeaker drivers, the outer cabinet being self-sustaining with side walls at least one half inch thick and keeping a gap from the inner cabinet,   wherein gap between the inner and outer cabinet is less than a half inch distance.   
   
   
       19 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 18 , wherein both the inner and outer cabinets are box-shaped, and the inner cabinet has panels in all six sides, while the outer cabinet has panels on five sides leaving the loudspeaker driver mounting side of the inner cabinet exposed. 
   
   
       20 . The loudspeaker enclosure of  claim 18  further comprising:
 one or more spacers between the inner and outer cabinet, the spacers being made of a vibration damping material; and   a filling material in the gap between the inner and outer cabinet, the filling material being a sound proofing material.
