Abstract: An integrated acoustic coupler for use in sound engineering testing of an IEM (in-ear monitor). The integrated acoustic coupler comprises an integrated coupler body having an input, a first chamber and an output port. The input defines an IEM seat defined by a foam member and into an which an IEM may be inserted to define an air-tight seal between the foam and the IEM. The first chamber is in fluid communication with the IEM seat and interconnected with at least one second chamber via a passageway configured for creating compliance and impedance to simulate a human ear. The output port is configured for electronically interconnecting to an XLR cable and outputting a signal from an IEM under test to a mixer or audio analyzer.

Abstract: One or more boundary microphones is mounted with elastic shock cords and is mounted within a housing such that the microphone is isolated from other components to isolate the microphone and improve audio performance. Each microphone in a preferred embodiment is angularly adjustable to allow the microphone to be pointed toward a desired audio signal source.

Abstract: A multi-element below-ceiling and shielded microphone that is combined with a mounting system is described. The microphone is used with an adaptor apparatus and system that allows the height of the microphone over a table and the rotational position of the mics to be easily adjusted and fixed, and such that a plenum may be established at the interface of the ceiling and the suspension cable if desired.

Abstract: An adaptor for retaining and suspending cabled microphones comprises a main body having a first threaded end and an opposite second threaded end with a circumferential flange separating the first and second threaded ends and extending from the main body. A bore extends longitudinally through main body. A cap threads onto the first threaded end and a nut threads onto the second threaded end. The microphone cable extends through a bore in each of the nut and the cap and through the bore 20 through main body. An O-ring is captured between the cap and main and prevents relative movement between the cable and the main body when the cap is tightened, and creates a plenum seal through the adaptor.

Abstract: A mount that is useful for mounting electronics equipment such as audio or video equipment such as a microphone or a camera in a desired orientation has first and second interconnected body members that retain a swivel adapter that is movable in a ball and socket swivel joint relative to the body members. The body members rotated on threaded connections to thereby adjust the tightness of the swivel adaptor retained between the body members. A stop prevents inadvertent disassembly of the assembled mounting apparatus.

Abstract: A microphone having an integral ball along the microphone body is mounted in a housing that defines a socket for receiving the ball. The microphone may be articulated on the ball and socket mount and the resistance to the articulation force may be varied by tightening and loosening a slotted cap that exerts a spring force on the microphone. The microphone and housing may be mounted to a surface such as a wall or ceiling and plenum ratings may be maintained through ceiling mounts.

Abstract: A microphone mount for mounting a microphone adjacent a speaker housed in a cabinet is defined by an elongate body having gripping fingers on opposite ends. The body is extendable and an elastic cord housed in the body normally pulls the gripping fingers together so that the mount may be extended and retained on a cabinet. A microphone interface is attached to one end of the body, which allows the user to position the microphone in any desired position relative to the speaker.
