Abstract:
A speaker mount, assembly, and method of disengagement including a flange that circumscribes a perimeter of the mount. The speaker mount includes a support member coupled to the flange. The speaker mount includes a tab moveably coupled to the support member. The speaker mount includes a tab bias member functionally coupled to the tab. The speaker mount includes a path guide functionally coupled to the tab and to the support member. The path guide includes a vertical pathing and a rotational pathing that is substantially orthogonal to the vertical pathing. The speaker mount includes a blocking member functionally coupled to the tab such that in a blocking mode the blocking member obstructs free movement of the tab along the path guide and in a free mode does not obstruct.

Abstract:
A speaker mounting system comprising a speaker housing configured to house a speaker, a wall mount configured to be mechanically fastened to a wall, and one or more adjustment pieces actuatably connecting the speaker housing to the wall mount. The adjustment pieces may comprise a first adjustment piece fixed to the wall mount and a second adjustment piece slidably and rotatably attached to the first adjustment piece and pivotally attached to the speaker housing. The second adjustment piece may be configured to laterally slide toward and away from the wall mount and to rotate about a first axis and the speaker housing may be configured to rotate or pivot relative to the second adjustment piece about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The speaker mounting system may also comprise a biasing member and locking mechanism for selectively allowing and preventing rotation about the first and second axes.
Abstract:
A coaxial speaker system that minimizes detrimental sound wave reflections from its high frequency speaker. The coaxial speaker system includes a high frequency speaker coaxially mounted within a low frequency speaker. The high frequency speaker includes a sound reproducing membrane, a voice coil assembly and magnet assembly for actuating the sound reproducing membrane in response to an electrical audio signal, and optionally a wave guide horn for directing sound waves produced by the sound reproducing membrane. The wave guide horn has a throat disposed adjacent the sound reproducing membrane and a mouth disposed opposite the throat. The low frequency speaker also includes a sound reproducing membrane assembly and a voice coil assembly and magnet assembly for actuating the sound reproducing membrane assembly in response to an electrical audio signal. At least a portion of the low frequency speaker sound reproducing membrane assembly is positioned adjacent the mouth of the wave guide horn (or adjacent the outer edge of the high frequency speaker sound reproducing membrane when no horn is provided) to inhibit the detrimental effects of sound waves produced by the high frequency speaker that reflect off the low frequency speaker.
Abstract:
There is a speaker mount, comprising: a flange; a support member coupled to the flange and having an elevated region spaced therefrom and a closer region closer to the flange than the elevated region, the closer region including a mating structure; and a tab assembly movably coupled to the support member. The tab assembly including: a tab; a coupling member that couples to the mating structure of the support member; and a spacing mechanism coupled to each of the tab and the coupling member that selectably changes an effective spacing between the tab and the coupling member such that the change in effective spacing results in a change in effective distance between the tab and the flange.
