Bass reflex v Karlson v Onken? (BD-Design)
Hi Richard,
If you want smoothness then use a reflex. Either a normal reflex or an Onken based reflex system. No all bass drive units are suitable for an onken baswed reflex though, most will have a port too long to fit the parameters.
Usually high sensitive drivers will work in them, low sensitive subwooferwoofers can't be used (why would you want to use those anyhow...).
Onken = QB4 with Vent of same surface area as the driver > benefit reduced
whooshing noises +?
Better dynamics, vent area's larger than 30% of the cone area will do just as well unless you push them to the limit!
Ciao,
Bert
