A Bass reflex system (also known as a ported, vented box or reflex port) is a type of loudspeaker enclosure that uses the sound from the rear side of the diaphragm to increase the efficiency of the system at low frequencies as compared to a typical closed box loudspeaker or an infinite baffle mounting.
Reflex port is the distinctive feature of a very popular variety of loudspeaker enclosures (Bass reflex) which enhances the reproduction of the lowest frequencies generated by the woofer. The port generally consists of one or more tubes mounted in the front (baffle) or the rear side of the loudspeaker. This allows extending the (deep end of the) frequency response of the system, which means that the loudspeaker can reproduce the sound of musical instruments that generate low frequency (bass) in a better way than that of an equally sized sealed enclosure.
Though advantageous in regards of deep bass, the bass reflex cabinet is known to have poor transient response compared to the sealed...
