⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 1.0 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 1.1 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.556; for a flat response this driver is better used on an infinite (IB) or open baffle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Volt Loudspeakers VM753E?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Volt Loudspeakers VM753E: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 382.5 Hz) needs a 3.6 cm port, and no nearby retune stays buildable without a bass hump. A sealed box, a passive radiator or a folded duct is the practical choice.

Can Volt Loudspeakers VM753E be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.16 liters with a Qtc of 1.556 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (1.10)), the system exhibits an F3 of 521.5 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Volt Loudspeakers VM753E to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 10.0 cm port would need 3.6 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
