ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a speaker unit for low frequency reproduction wherein distortion is reduced and the orientation of a sound image of the lower side frequency region is augmented. To that end, the phase characteristic in an actually used frequency band is made substantially flat. The speaker unit includes a speaker enclosure, a duct formed in the speaker enclosure and having a port thereon, and a speaker mounted in the speaker enclosure. The speaker is formed such that it has a first resonance frequency set higher than a higher side frequency of the actually used frequency band (about 20 Hz to 100 Hz), while the port is formed such that it has a second resonance frequency set lower than a lower side frequency of the actually used frequency band. For example, the speaker includes a vibrating system having a reduced mass or a reduced compliance with which the first resonance frequency is set higher than the higher side frequency of the actually used frequency band, and the duct has an increased length or a controlled cross sectional area with which the second resonance frequency is set lower than the lower side frequency of the actually used frequency band.
