    Prototyping Test Enclosures Simplify Speaker Design

    ­Same Sky® and its Audio Group today announced the introduction of speaker prototyping test enclosures. Initially supporting 15 x 11 mm, 16 x 9 mm, and 18 x 13 mm rectangular miniature speaker frame sizes, the test enclosures create an acoustic cavity of approximately 1 cc to allow for simplified performance testing and evaluation of selected speakers.

    Rear enclosures are often essential for achieving peak performance in miniature speakers. Sampling speakers that require an acoustic cavity of approximately 1 cc without an enclosure can prevent them from demonstrating their specified performance. Same Sky’s speaker prototyping test enclosures are designed to address this issue by providing a controlled rear volume during evaluation. They can also serve as a foundational building block for final product designs.

    The BOX-1511-1CC, BOX-1609-1CC, BOX-1813-1CC and are available immediately with prices starting at $1.99 per unit through distribution. Please contact Same Sky for OEM pricing.
