Chario Academy Serendipity 5-way Loudspeaker ( Pair )

Hourglass duct

The pressure that pushes the air inside the reflex duct is extremely high. Consider the analogy of hydraulic lines that push water upward. As the high increase loses fluid pressure, the jets lose speed and weaken. Hence the goal must be to retain the optimal pressure within the reflex duct to ensure a consistent strength in the acoustic wave, while avoiding the audible noise when pressure speeds over 130km/h. The photograph aside demonstrates the reflex duct section with the Hourglass hyper-exponential, in a Serendipity.
