Building a loudspeaker like a room in a room (floating room) studio


It was noticed that the Linoleum Pleiades Auratone 5C type speaker emits sound from all sides of the box. It is not a bad sound as linoleum must be absorbing much of the mess reverberation happening inside the small box. The sound coming from the drive unit is clear as things must be more civilized inside the box.


It was noticed that on the Sony AMP-078 speaker, see previous today's post, the sides nearly do not emmit sound.


So how would such a speaker sound like:


Drive unit inside a Linoleum box.


Then this box floating separated from an outer wooden box with porous absorbing material etc. possibly porous absorbers should be placed inside the linoleum box.


BBC, EMI studio building practice has bass membrane absorbers at a distance from walls, see older posts for references. Why should it be otherwise on a much more difficult case of a small speaker (studio) enclosure with a drive unit singing loudly into it?


The mess that happens inside can be remitted from the drive unit thin membrane.


Porous absorbers in studios are only used for mid at best and treble.


Why not treating a loudspeaker like a recording studio space?


Or just using linoleum, one box only?
