Abstract:
1. In a speaker system having a speaker box defining an interior air space, the speaker box having a speaker arranged within the interior air space, a method of efficiently radiating heat from the interior air space to outside the speaker box, comprising: providing at least one air inflow port on a first surface of the speaker box, the at least one air inflow port opening to outside of the speaker box from the interior air space; providing at least one air outflow port on a second surface of the speaker box, the at least one air outflow port opening to outside of the speaker box from the interior air space; and arranging a heat producing component relative to the speaker within the interior air space such that air entering the interior air space from outside the speaker box via the at least one air inflow port is directed towards the heat producing component and such that heat radiated from the heat producing component rises above the speaker in the interior air space before exiting to outside the speaker box via the at least one air outflow port.
