  • Architectural speaker assembly
    Patent number: 7543681
    Abstract: An architectural speaker assembly includes a speaker supported within the speaker enclosure of a mounting fixture. A grill is provided to conceal the speaker. A grill support is configured to support the grill substantially flush with a facing ring of the mounting fixture to blend into the surrounding ceiling or wall. The grill support includes a concave wall that surrounds the speaker. A number of bosses project form the wall, each boss supporting a permanent magnet that magnetically engages the grill to firmly hold it on the grill support.
