Abstract: A lighting and communication system with a horn enclosure for recessed ceiling panel or wall mounting, including a speaker with a horn expansion area to direct sound waves from the speaker to a horn enclosure front, at least one light enclosure located within the horn enclosure, the light enclosure defining a light cavity which is separated from said horn expansion area, with a light source inside the light cavity. The light source can be an LED array, which is capable of displaying text, colors or patterns in response to a control system signal.

Abstract: A presentation audio system with two dual-mode, dual-channel, wireless IR microphone/controllers that concurrently transmit multiplexed audio and command IR signals to IR sensors communicating to an amplifier that sends amplified audio to one or more speakers, responsive to the received commands. Each wireless IR microphone/controller includes a microphone and controller in a housing with manual controls and separate redundant groups of transmitting IR LEDs. The amplifier is controlled as to volume, audio sources selected, and control closure operation. First mode controls the audio of the IR microphone/controller that is set in the first mode and second mode controls all audio sources in the system. One manual control is a control closure that may be used to initiate a building alarm or for other purposes. A headset microphone jack enables use of the IR microphone/controller as an IR transmitter. A dual recharger usable vertically or horizontally is included.

Abstract: A modular horn loudspeaker principally intended for use on emergency vehicles consists of three coaxially aligned cup-shaped parts, a sound chamber, a cover fitted to the sound chamber and a housing. The first embodiment of the modular, compact horn loudspeaker is implemented with a single siren driver and includes a dome-shaped driver diaphragm integrally formed onto an interior surface of the sound chamber. The sound chamber is an acoustical boundary defining member having curved propagation paths or horn throat channels formed in relief on a cup-shaped exterior surface. The sound chamber is coaxially aligned with and received in a tightly fitted cup-shaped cover member to define a plurality of curved horn throats of expanding rectangular cross sectional dimension directing the sound waves rearwardly around the diaphragm periphery and toward a housing rear wall.

Abstract: A structure for a compression driver motor assembly which utilizes a pot with an integral top plate and a pole cap, thereby reducing magnetic losses and permitting manufacture of a driver structure with fewer parts and reduced weight. A more efficient process for manufacture of the motor assembly is also disclosed. The pot is manufactured with an integral top plate which is adapted for use with a large pole cap. The pole cap is affixed to the top of a permanent magnet and forms the magnetic gap with the top of the pot. The magnetic circuit of the driver thus includes a permanent magnet, a pot, a magnetic gap and the pole cap. The motor assembly is assembled in a process requiring fewer steps and less elaborate tooling than the motor assembly of the prior art.
