Abstract: Improvements in an access point through a wall or ceiling for gaining access through the wall or ceiling using only one side of the wall or ceiling. After cutting a home the housing or frame for can then be pushed into the opening for installation and the installer can compress one-way retaining arms to secure the frame without requiring the use of any additional tools or requiring access to the back of the wall, ceiling or floor. The frame has locating key(s) ensures that the cover or electronics is installed in the preferred rotational orientation. One or plurality of locating keys that ensures the internal electronics can be installed in one or more than one orientation to minimize confusion regarding an acceptable orientation. The rotation positions can also be used to ensure that a logo or internal feature or cover is properly oriented.

Abstract: Improvements in a reusable locating bracket for a recessed speaker or light bracket is disclosed. The bracket matches the hole diameter for a speaker of light. The bracket is installed prior to installation of drywall and is used as a trim guide. After installation of the drywall and cutting or trimming of the opening, the bracket is folded, bent, rotated or articulated where it can be removable through the trimmed opening in the drywall or sheet rock. The bracket has folding hinges for retaining side supports. The side supports are typically strips of cardboard, chip board or other material that provides a span from the bracket to studs, joists or beams. The folding hinges have teeth that grip the cardboard and can be opened to pull the cardboard through the retainer.

Abstract: An amplifier with voice activated audio override is disclosed. The amplifier with voice activated audio override mutes the audio signal from audio output devices that do not contain integrated hardware to mute the audio level under certain conditions. The amplifier can be hardwired or temporally wired to the audio system. The hard wiring can be by cutting and splicing the audio wiring or can be wired upon installation. The temporal wiring can be with jacks, connectors or other mechanisms. The muting can be adjustable depending upon different conditions. The variable muting can be a percentage or decibels of the audio signal or can be a fixed sound or decibel level regardless of the present volume or decibel level. The amplifier with can be parasitically powered from the audio device, sound system or from a separate power source.

Abstract: Improvements to an adjustable speaker within a frame is disclosed. The adjustment of the speaker allows for rotation or pivoting on a plurality of webs, ribs or fingers. The plurality of webs, ribs or fingers provide a plurality of bearing surfaces. The webs, ribs or fingers provide an open frame that requires less material and allows for sound transmission both in-front of the speaker and around the speaker. The frame can be scaled to be larger or smaller to accommodate different diameter and depth speakers. It is also contemplated that speakers frame can be accommodate both round and oblong shapes. The frame is a clam-shell mesh. The clam-shell captures the speaker between the two components. The two components essentially snap together to secure the speaker. The webs, ribs or fingers frame allows pivoting with a compression or tension member of a spring.
