A speaker enclosure is a protective casing designed to house a loudspeaker. Its primary purpose is to enhance sound quality by controlling the movement of air around the speaker. The enclosure helps to prevent sound waves from interfering with each other, which can lead to distortion. Different types of enclosures, such as sealed or ported, can affect the speaker's performance and the overall sound produced. The design of a speaker enclosure can vary significantly based on its intended use. For example, home theater systems often use larger enclosures for deeper bass, while portable speakers may have smaller, more compact designs. Properly designed enclosures contribute to a better listening experience by optimizing sound output.
