Bass Reflex Calculator

Do you need to design a speaker system with a bass reflex port? Our Bass Reflex Calculator can help you find the tuning frequency, volume of the speaker box, or cross-sectional area of the port. For calculation, just enter tuning frequency and volume of the speaker box into the calculator, and it display cross sectional area of port.

If you want to determine port length switch calculator to advance mode and enter values into the given fields.

How to Calculate Bass Reflex

The Bass Reflex Calculator uses the following formula:

Formula:

$Fb = \frac{v}{2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{Vb \cdot \rho / A}}$

Variable	Description
Fb	Tuning frequency of the bass reflex speaker
v	Speed of sound in air (approximately 343 m/s)
π	Mathematical constant (approximately 3.14159)
Vb	Volume of the speaker box
ρ	Density of air (approximately 1.2 kg/m³)
A	Cross-sectional area of the port

Step Calculation Example

Here is a calculation example to guide you, how the this calculator compute your value.

For Example:

• • Volume of Speaker Box (Vb): 0.05 m³
  • Cross-Sectional Area of Port (A): 0.01 m²

Calculation:

1. Calculate the denominator first:

$\sqrt{Vb \cdot \rho / A} = \sqrt{0.05 \cdot 1.2 / 0.01} = \sqrt{6} \approx 2.449$

2. Now, calculate the tuning frequency (Fb):

$Fb = \frac{343}{2 \cdot 3.14159 \cdot 2.449} \approx \frac{343}{15.386} \approx 22.29 \, \text{Hz}$

3. Result: So, the tuning frequency (Fb) is approximately 22.29 Hz.
