Re: Sealed vs. Ported Subwoofer Enclosures in Pro AudioI believe a lot of manufacturers of higher end systems take this approach. If a speaker is going to be used with, and corrected by, a DSP anyway, why compromise something that can't be corrected for something that is easily corrected?Peaks are obviously the easiest thing to correct, and moderate dips higher up in the frequency range aren't too hard either. Many manufacturers make a very good job of correcting phase anomalies in their DSPs, and excursion control is very much wrapped up as well. That leaves the job of producing maximum output (and minimum distortion if applicable) in the targeted bottom octave for a given excursion limit.
