A mounting system for mounting a loudspeaker to a substrate includes a mounting assembly having an elongated screw, a support member received on and movable along the screw, and a mounting arm rotatably connected to the support member and having a resting position and a working position. A guide housing receives the mounting assembly with the screw extending longitudinally therethrough and includes a wall structure with an open front side and a cap at a top portion of the wall structure. In the resting position, the support member is positioned along the screw at least partially received within the cap and the mounting arm is substantially contained within the wall structure. In the working position, the support member is positioned along the screw to be outside of the cap and the mounting arm is spring-biased away from the screw and extends outwardly through the front side of the wall structure.

Mounting system for a loudspeaker

Loudspeaker

A speaker system is provided with a housing adapted to mount to a support. A driver is supported by the housing and arranged to project sound about a first axis extending at an offset angle relative to a longitudinal axis extending from the housing. A waveguide extends from the driver to define a cavity extending along the first axis. The waveguide includes a first segment formed at a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis, and a second segment formed at a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis, wherein the second segment is arranged opposite the first segment and the second angle is greater than the first angle to collectively provide an asymmetrical sound pattern in a first plane.

An outdoor loudspeaker that is weather resistant and includes environmental lighting is described. The lamp is mounted to a cap at the top of the loudspeaker. An audio driver is mounted below the lamp. A system outdoor loudspeakers is also described. The lighting circuitry and the audio circuitry is separate, e.g., separate conduits and wiring in the loudspeaker. The cap can include a light guide, e.g., a lens centrally mounted in the cap or an opaque cover to direct the light downwardly and outwardly. At least part of the loudspeaker can be mounted underground and, in the case of a sub-woofer, the entire chamber can be mounted below ground.

A passive radiator assembly for a loudspeaker system comprising: a pair of passive radiators including a first and a second passive radiator; a frame having a first, a second and a third opening wherein the first and second opening are located on parallel sides of the frame, respectively, wherein the first and the second passive radiator are mounted into the first and second opening of the parallel sides of the frame, respectively, so as to oppose each other at a predetermined distance.

Passive radiator assembly

A speaker assembly is provided with a housing, at least one transducer supported by the housing, and a controller. The controller is adapted to receive a first audio signal from a first audio source and a second audio signal from a second audio source. The controller is programmed to prioritize the first audio signal and the second audio signal based on a location of the housing relative to a charging station, and to provide the highest priority audio signal to the at least one transducer.

Speaker system charging station

A wireless speaker system may include a primary speaker including a first transceiver and a second transceiver and programmed to receive audio data from a user device at the first transceiver, and at least one secondary speaker including a receiver and programmed to receive a wireless signal including the audio data from the primary speaker at the receiver, each speaker configured to transmit audio signals consistently there between based on the received audio data.

Wireless speaker system

An in-wall speaker system having at least one pair of active transducers mounted in a wall section. The active transducers may be mounted in at least one enclosure. Each active transducer has a sound radiating surface. Each active transducer is also mounted substantially perpendicular to a surface of the wall section with the sound radiating surfaces substantially parallel to each other. The sound radiating surfaces may be facing each other or away from each other. The in-wall speaker system may also include one or more pairs of passive radiators to generate sound from sound pressure generated by the active transducers. The pairs of speakers in the wall section may be mounted vertically or horizontally within the wall, with a slot or a vent at the opening at the space between the speaker pairs.

One embodiment of a low-profile transducer includes a at least one fin perpendicularly mounted on a planar diaphragm, with a voice coil mounted onto the fin. The voice coil may reside in a strong uniform magnetic field. The locations at which the diaphragm is connected to a frame may be coplanar with a center of mass of the diaphragm. The three-dimensional structure of diaphragm and fins may be formed using origami techniques.
