Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / air duck
English term or phrase: air duck
Buenas noches,

¡Espero que todos estén bien!

Estoy traduciendo las instrucciones de unos auriculares de la marca Samsung y me encuentro con este término: Air duck. (Les paso el dibujito que figura en la página oficial https://www.samsung.com/africa_en/support/mobile-devices/how...

Comparando con la imagen que sale en la versión latina de la página, me parece que es como un micrófono, pero la verdad, no estoy para nada segura de mi respuesta. (esta es la imagen en la versión latina samsung.com/latin/wearables/galaxy-buds-live-r180/SM-R180NZNALTA/)

Les agradeceré con todo mi corazón si alguno me da una pista :)

Gracias

neutral  Giovanni Rengifo: You're right about the typo, but if you checked the images at the links the asker provided, you'd realize that the "slot or opening" in the device doesn't look like a "conducto" at all. Please check.

agree  Carlos Siu: Literalmente, "conducto de aire" es correcto, pero no apropiado. Prefiero "ranura de ventilación"... después de ver las imágenes y su descripción, esta opción es lo más apropiado.

ranura de ventilación


Explanation:
I just checked the website and images, and in my opinion, the device's too small to have a "conducto de aire". I think that it would be fine for a ventilation system like the one they use in buildings or air conditioning systems, but not in this case.
I hope you'll agree with me that it makes sense here.

I've never seen the word "duck", so it must be a typo like David mentions, but it might as well be a completely different word they wanted to use (e.g. vent, slot, etc.).

agree  Althea Draper: I agree - In hearing aids, it's called a ventilation opening, duct is more industrial.
