Timothy Prenta

Title: Timothy Prenta and In-Wall Audio Innovation.

Introduction

Timothy Prenta is an inventor based in Simi Valley, California. His patent work includes in-wall speaker and subwoofer systems designed to deliver high-volume sound while fitting within a wall. He is associated with Harman International Industries, Inc. His listed portfolio includes 4 patents.

Latest Patents

Prenta’s latest listed patents are “In-wall sub-woofer with high-volume displacement” and “In-wall sub-woofer system with high-volume displacement.” Both describe an in-wall speaker system with at least one pair of active transducers mounted in a wall section, potentially within an enclosure. The transducers are positioned substantially perpendicular to the wall surface, with their sound-radiating surfaces parallel to one another and oriented either toward or away from each other.

The designs may also use pairs of passive radiators that produce sound in response to pressure generated by the active transducers. The speaker pairs can be arranged vertically or horizontally, with a slot or vent in the opening between them. These features address the challenge of producing substantial sound output from audio equipment integrated into a wall.

Career Highlights

Prenta’s listed inventions focus on integrating speaker components into wall structures while supporting high-volume displacement. His work reflects an approach to audio-system design that combines active transducers, enclosures, passive radiators, and carefully arranged openings.

Collaborations

Prenta is associated with Harman International Industries, Inc. His listed coworkers include Charles M. Sprinkle and Christopher Neumann.

Conclusion

Timothy Prenta’s patent work centers on in-wall speaker and subwoofer designs that use transducer placement, passive radiators, and vents to support high-volume audio in a wall-integrated system.
