Abstract
In the invented speaker system, a passive radiator 401 is mounted on a top board 403a of baffle 403 in a direction opposite to a speaker unit 402. The speaker unit 402 is mounted on the opening of a cylinder 403b protruding from top board 403a at a place inner from the end. The remaining part of the opening is closed with a sub-baffle 406, to form a front closed cavity 404 and a back closed cavity 405. In this way, both the passive radiator 401 and the speaker unit 402 are fixed to the top board 403a whose rigidity being the highest; which reduces the unwanted vibration.
