Speaker system with linear arrays, housing, mounting clamp, and leds
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11772572B2) describes a speaker system with several unique features. The system includes a first and second linear array of speakers arranged side by side, encased in a housing. The front sides of the speakers are collectively aligned in an Euclidean plane. The system also features a pipe-mounting clamp for easy surface mounting and light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged along the side of the speaker system, aligned with the upper edge of the housing.
In addition to the above features, the patent also describes a control panel with a user interface facing the front sides of the speakers. The system can be mounted using two pipe-mounting clamps on opposing lateral sides of the housing, and a power cord extends from one of the lateral sides. Each speaker in the system has a diameter of approximately 4 inches or less.
Another embodiment of the speaker system described in the patent includes a linear array of speakers encased in a housing. The system features mounting brackets that are rotationally adjustable by at least 180 degrees, allowing for flexible surface mounting. A power cord extends from one of the lateral sides of the housing, with the casing of the power cord in contact with the external surface of the speaker system. This embodiment also includes a control panel arranged along the side of the speaker system and LEDs arranged along the front side of the linear array of speakers.
The patent also mentions the use of RGB (red, green, and blue) LEDs in the speaker system, with the power cord providing power to these LEDs. Additionally, there is a mention of LEDs arranged centrally to one of the linear arrays of speakers.
Overall, this granted patent describes a speaker system with unique features such as linear arrays of speakers, pipe-mounting clamps, adjustable mounting brackets, and LED lighting. These features provide flexibility in installation and enhance the visual appeal of the speaker system.
