acoustic surround/enclosure Explanation: This term appears to be most commonly used for speakers. "Cloche acoustique" gets almost no hits, but may be so called because it's bell shaped. Either way, I think you should translate the two French terms with a single English one. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2016-06-30 15:12:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or hood.

acoustic hood/acoustic enclosure Explanation: A "cloche" I imagine is similar to one of those ghastly telephone hoods common in the 70s and 80s. The worst ones were a kind of perspex bubble that resonated horribly, though the better ones used fibreglass held in place by perforated metal sheet. An "enclosure" is far more general: for example, gas turbines in warships are surrounded by an "acoustic enclosure" which does a decent job of attenuating the noise by some tens of dBs. This must be a very large inductor to allow the free circulation of people around it. |
