What Is Port Chuffing and How Do We Prevent It?

Port chuffing is the unwanted “huffing” or turbulence noise that can occur when air moves too quickly through a speaker’s port. It is common in poorly engineered ported designs, but completely avoidable with proper tuning and airflow control.

How Arendal Minimizes Turbulence

Arendal spends extensive time engineering port geometry to keep airflow smooth and quiet, especially in the 1528 series. This includes optimizing port size and geometries, flare shape, and tuning frequency, supported by airflow modeling and real world high output testing.

The result is deep, powerful bass with minimal turbulence, even at demanding listening levels
