Open baffle speakers vs box speaker. I am now offering my custom built open baffle loudspeakers to the public. It is more articulate than from box speakers. Still I heard the box - its resonances perhaps bothered me.
Like any open baffle it is best to place the speakers at least three feet from the wall for best results. I am doing a 512 atmos system with OB center surround and overhead speakers. The Open Source Open Baffle speaker project.
But if the woofers are specifically designed for open baffle use and the room setup is symmetrical and there is enough distance from the speaker to the wall behind it then and only then open baffle speakers can compete with conventional box speakers. What I found was that the designer Gilbert Briggs had mapped out the best position as being alongside a side wall spaced 1 metre from the nearest corner. Find out what Paul thinks of open baffle loudspeakers.
Perhaps the most significant element of a cabinets construction however is whether the back is open or closed. Knowing that open boxes are very neutral one day I removed the back sides of my pipes - and the first prototype of my full range concave line array baffle speakers was born. Most loudspeakers are trapped inside sealed boxes where the woofers rear wave cannot interfere with its front wave.
I hope you enjoy reading about this project but more importantly I hope you build it and can contribute to its evolutionnbsp. Available are several versions of the low profile barrel shaped speakers The standard dimensions of the speakers are 22 12 high and 18 wide - the base is rear mounted and 12 deep. I have had the center with 2-8s 2-65s and tweeter hit down into the 50hz range with room gain.
For an Open Baffle speaker using a passive crossover we actually require a driver with a high Qts. Please leave a comment if you have questions and if you have an idea that might improve upon this particular design please feel free to shareNext.

It was only about an 85 investment. Most loudspeakers are trapped inside sealed boxes where the woofers rear wave cannot interfere with its front wave. This not only applies to speaker cones but also to panel vibrations.
Open baffle can be done inexpensively dont scoff. A change to better was very apparent. June 2006 VISATON NoBox BB Loudspeaker Kit Thinking Outside The box.
An open-baffle speaker thus typically needs more volume displacement cone area distance of cone movement than a box speaker to achieve the same level of output at low frequencies this is why open-baffle speakers typically have fairly large woofers or multiples of them. The room behind the speakers was full with images of instruments. This includes the size of the cabinet type of wood thickness of baffle the panel that the speaker is mounted to and how the parts of cabinet are joined together.
So unless using some very specialized drivers are used in an open baffle then yes open baffle speaker systems are definitely flawed. The advancement in bass performance drove AR not small box marketing as some revisionist historians have opined.
