I've always wondered this, but never bothered to ask: why is a speaker with an "infinite" enclosure called an infinite baffle, when a baffle refers to the front of the speaker, not the enclosure.

Technically infinite baffle refers to any situation where the rear-wave and front-wave can't come together. So a small sealed box or a driver mounted in a wall are both technically IB's

Interesting. So the industry adds to this confusion by labeling open-backed in-walls as "infinite baffle" and back-boxed in-walls as "sealed" when, technically, they're both infinite baffle?Originally posted by ThomasWComment

Doesn't the wave still interact with the driver though? Wouldn't an IB entail the rear waves never interacting with any part of the driver and the front waves?Originally posted by ThomasW-Tyler
Under deadline pressure for the next week. If you want something, it can wait. Unless it's blind screaming paroxysmally hedonistic...Comment

By 'interact' I mean the front and rear waves don't physically come together in space.Originally posted by Gir
