Is Epifani UL front or rear ported?

I searched TB and Epifani's Web site and couldn't find the answer. I need to know whether the UL110 or 112 is front or rear ported.

I used to own 2 of these, and if memory serves me right they were FRONT ported. If it is THAT important to you, I would call Epifani and find out.

...if it has to be front ported or rear ported for the look you want, then it is what it is, but it makes absolutely zero sonic difference...

I understand it makes no sonic difference. Because of the way my practice room is set up, I would need to place the cab at a particular position. IME, rear-ported cabs caused some things in that room to vibrate (e.g., paper on the printer!).

The low frequency long wavelengths from a port have exactly the same effect no matter where the port is located. If there's a difference between how different cabs cause things to vibrate it's not the port location that makes the difference.

Thanks. I wasn't sure as I'm used to seeing rear ported or bottom ported. These cabs the port is covered by the front grill I see,
