Are you referring to bracing speaker cabinets? Maybe you're talking about rib braces - using small lengths of wood attached across the inner walls to damp resonance.

Perhaps you are asking about shelf bracing?

Sorry, I had to make clear that I was referring to bracing speaker cabinets - not to to shelf or dental braces

A shelf brace is one that fills the entire cabinet in one dimension (as a solid shelf does in any cabinet) but has areas cut out to allow air flow. Could be in the shape of a ladder I guess but not normally referred to as such.

Hmmm. Actually this is one of a few things which could look like a ladder. Or maybe they refer to a few horizontal bars... Anyway, aparently this is not a common term. Thanks!

Where did you read it?

Actually a professional cabinet builder told it. I just did not want to ask him. I hope no one find this too dishonest

Are you working on a speaker project?
