Abstract: A speaker mounting apparatus is provided which facilitates pivoting of the speaker to a desired angular position, while providing increased thermal mass for the speaker assembly. For preferred embodiments, the speaker is mounted in a cup of a thermally conductive material, which cup has a surface which mates with a corresponding surface of a mount in a manner so as to permit the speaker to be pivoted to a desired angular position, to be held in such position and, for preferred embodiments, to permit heat transfer from the cup to the mount, which is also of a thermally conductive material, further increasing the thermal mass of the apparatus.

Abstract: A fire protective flat panel radiator assembly for installation in a suspended ceiling grid is provided. The assembly includes a flat panel radiator having a frame that supports a sonic diaphragm, which is driven by a transducer to reproduce an audio program. A back box is mounted to the radiator and the back box covers and encloses the diaphragm and other fire susceptible components of the radiator. The back box is provided with a cut-out portion that is covered with an air pervious panel, which is resistant to fire hazards but that allows air flow in and out of the back box. In one embodiment, the radiator has a bridge and the back box is formed by a pair of shells mounted on each side of the bridge to enclose and protect the diaphragm. The result is a fire protected flat panel radiator assembly that meets the fire performance requirements for air handling plenums while retaining the sonic fidelity of a flat panel sound radiator without a fire protective back box.

Abstract: An in-wall speaker system is provided having a speaker enclosure which achieves high quality sound and which can be readily installed in a standard residential or other wall structure. The enclosure comprises a relatively thin elongated, resonant-free housing at the upper portion of which is provided an opening in which a loudspeaker is mounted. The lower portion of the enclosure is shaped such that the enclosure can be angularly inserted through an opening in a mounting wall and pushed downward until the upper end of the enclosure containing the speaker is disposed in the wall opening. Fasteners are employed to secure the enclosure to the wall. The fasteners are preferably quick connect fasteners for easy installation. A speaker grille is provided to cover the loudspeaker. The enclosure has sufficient volume and configuration to provide enhanced sound reproduction. Various loudspeakers can be employed in the enclosure to produce intended sound performance. The speaker enclosure is sized and configured to fit between the studs of a standard residential wall structure and to fit within the wall space between the front and rear drywalls. The speaker system can include a detachable module containing a crossover circuit or an amplifier, and can include an infrared sensor and associated control circuitry for control of source components from the remote location of the speaker.

Abstract: A panel form loudspeaker/microphone combination has a distributed resonant bending wave member and two transducers mounred on the member at sites where the number of vibrationally active resonance anti-nodes is relatively high. One transducer is capable of vibrating the member to couple to and excite resonant bending wave modes in the member and cause the member to produce an acoustic output. The other transducer also is capable of coupling to he resonant bending wave modes in the member, but it produces an output signal in response to resonance of the member due to incident acoustic energy. The combination may be part of a loudspeaker system including an amplifier for the source signal coupled to the first transducer, and a signal receiver coupled to the second transducer for treating the output signal.
