Every aspect of a speaker's design — from driver materials to crossover circuitry — plays a critical role in the speaker's ultimate level of performance. One component that often goes overlooked, and yet makes a significant contribution to a speaker's audio reproduction, is the cabinet in which the driver is housed. Chances are, you're aware that it's the movement of air at the front of a speaker's driver that realizes the reproduction of sound. However, you might not have considered the role played by the air moving at driver's rear . . . inside the cabinet. Most speaker enclosures are "closed", meaning that they are completely sealed off. As you might imagine, closed systems often restrict a driver's movement — reducing efficiency and the output range — and congest moving air within the cabinet, ultimately causing unwanted resonance. Ensuring a listening experience free of distortion and enhanced by improved efficiency and dynamic range, the S 606 speaker system sports bass-reflex enclosures. Also known as ported enclosures, bass-reflex cabinets feature openings, or ports, in the cabinet that facilitate the movement of air behind a speaker driver. With room to breathe, each S 602 and S 606's woofer pumps out clear, full sound free of resonance and marked by extended bass-audio performance.
