A type of speaker design using a sealed cabinet. Primarily used for low-frequency enclosures, acoustic suspension designs use the air mass within the cabinet as a “spring” to help return the relatively massive speaker to the rest position. This allows heavier, longer throw drivers to be used, but results in a less efficient design requiring more amplifier power.
