Publication number: 20150350785Abstract: A wireless audio distribution system for wirelessly transmitting audio from a wireless transmitter to one or more speakers located remotely from the transmitter. A number of channels of audio are acoustically connected to a wireless transmitter unit. The wireless transmitter unit is configured for potential placement within a standard audio/video equipment rack, without the wireless audio signals suffering from substantial degradation resulting from such placement. The channels of audio are at least selectively transmitted wirelessly to an amplifier/receiver module located on a wall, contained within a wall or positioned within a ceiling. In the situation where the amplifier/receiver module is recessed within the wall, a low profile cover is attached to the wall, concealing the amplifier/receiver unit from view. A modular design method is utilized, allowing for the altering of pre-installed products at a later date. Components may be selected from across multiple product lines.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2013Publication date: December 3, 2015Applicant: Peerless Industries, Inc.Inventors: Derrik Quang Lam, Paul Berkley, Frank Laurendi, Todd Mares, Don Schmidt, Patrick Flanagan
