This is a diagram of my North American Sound monitor series loudspeaker.
In
the literature, it is billed as a "transmission line" speaker.

Is this really a TL speaker? Of the TL designs I have seen, this has got
to
be the simplist. It is 36" tall and with approximately 1ft^2 footprint.

Might as well show the actual literature.

No, that isn't a transmission line, just a plain old vented enclosure.
The purpose of that baffle in the centre is unclear, unless it is
designed to provide some stiffness to the box.

Thanks Don,

In reading over my own literature that I posted I could not find where I got
"Transmission-Line." However it does describe the enclosre as "a unique
acoustically damped bass reflex system." Ok, it does look like that. I
suppose I was reading too fast as I read "phase-aligned" and "time-aligned."
