  • Patent number: 10812907
    Abstract: An expandable wireless speaker system and method is disclosed. The speaker system comprises a center module and at least two or more speakers. The center module has a unique identification number and has mechanical connections on at least one side. The center module is configured to receive an external device, wirelessly or directly connected and has a transceiver configured to scan for an unused channel and transmit audio. The speakers each have a mechanical connection on either side to connect to the center module or the other speakers. The two or more speakers are configured to scan the communication spectrum for the center module's unique identification and when the two or more speakers locate the center module's unique identification, the two or more speakers pair with the center module to receive audio. The communication spectrum can be a wireless channel such as 5.8 GHz or the FM radio spectrum.
