I was reading a review of the Wharfedale Diamond 122 and came across the following description.
Does anyone know about this technique, and if the port is calculated differently?
The reflex port has received attention too, lnstead of being on the front or rear, as with previous models, the tube terminates centrally in the base of the cabinet. The latter sits on an integrated Plinth, a narrow gap separating the two; the slot port airflow is thus effectively distributed around the perimeter of the base. This arrangement, derived from the Jade research effort and known as a 'slot-loaded distributed port'. aims to smooth the transition in air-pressure between the room and speaker cabinet. Claimed benefits include a reduction of low-frequency distortion, improved efficiency and easier Positioning-
