There should be 8 separate enclosures within the cabnet, and each of 4
drivers share a common port, so its not a total air leak.


Can you please explain how 4 drivers in isolated enclosures can share a
common port?
AFAIK none of the drivers are isolated.


I never visited the insides of the 802, but thats the way the 901 is.
There are
three chambers in the 901 III up. You see only two ports in the 802 right?

The 901 has 9 drive units, 8 at the back and 1 at the front. In other words,
it is used the other way round to the 802 which has the 8 drive units facing
the audience and two ports at the back. The 901 is a sealed box, with no
ports, and is intended to provide most of its output reflected off the back
walls, and only a small amount directed at the listener. The 802 is a PA
'speaker, and in my view, quite a good one for speech and individual
instruments whilst the 901 was a so-called hi-fi 'speaker which singularly
failed, given that stereo doesn't work if the sound is scattered as the 901
did.
