1. A sealed speaker system, comprising:

  • an enclosure including an opening provided in a base thereof;

    a transducer diaphragm mounted within the enclosure, wherein an increase in air pressure within the enclosure results in an outward movement of the diaphragm toward an exterior of the enclosure, and a decrease in air pressure within the enclosure results in an inward movement of the diaphragm toward an interior of the enclosure; and

    a pressure vent provided in a base of the enclosure including an enclosure support member mounted exteriorly to the base and supporting the enclosure on a surface, the enclosure support member abutted against the base adjacent the enclosure opening, the enclosure support member having at least one channel formed therein in fluid communication with the opening, the pressure vent allowing a gradual transfer of air between the enclosure interior and the enclosure exterior to substantially maintain a pressure equilibrium between the enclosure interior and the enclosure exterior.
