enclosed
"carter" is a machine casing, crankcase, or enclosure. I think cartérisé just means the acoustic head is in a housing or enclosure.

encapsulated
'cartérisé' is one of those French words that cannot be reliably translated unless you have a picture.
I suggest 'encapsulated' - it's as good a guess as anyone else's!

cased
We some times talk about a 'cased' assembly, as M/M has said, it's one of those words where you really need to see it to know for sure.
Although I can see this isn't quite the context here, we do sometimes talk about a 'soundproof casing OR housing' (as Bourth has said)
