Calculating Port Air Speed

This calculator is intended to help you determine the speed of the air in the port.

This will help you decide if a particular port is too small for your application, which will cause noise at high volume levels.

This calculator is not intended for use on bandpass designs.

  
 
A general rule regarding port air speed is to try to keep it 10 % or less of the speed of sound <= 342 meters 		 
 

Explanation of Terms


  
  Pak is the acoustic power output of the speaker in Watts.
( You can calculate the Acoustic Power ( Pacoustical ) using this link Efficiency Calculator )
Fb is the tuning frequency of the enclosure.
R is the radius of the port.
Mach is the speed of sound in air (342 m/sec).
