An Acoustic meta material (AMM) device for passive amplification of sound is described. The AMM amplifier device employs a deep sub-wavelength resonator design with high refraction index, which uses resonant amplification of the bass sound. An array of sub wavelength, single frequency channels are used, each resonating and amplifying at a different frequency in the bass frequency range. This is accomplished by having many different channels, each with an opening extending in a same, common, or substantially common direction. Thus, sound emanating from a speaker in a first direction continues in this direction until reaching and entering the openings of the plurality of channels. The sound from the speaker is in all transmitted frequencies of, for example, a musical recording or the like. However, only a specific frequency and/or harmonics thereof are substantially propagated through each channel.
