  • Patent number: 10587949
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to several embodiments of a speaker system, the speaker system comprising a face panel which may be formed of metals, metal composites, metal alloys, PVC, expanded PVC, hardened fibrous materials, foam core, or equivalents. The face panel of one example has an outer surface which in some embodiments is substantially coplanar with the surrounding wall section, and in other embodiments extends slightly outward therefrom. The face panel has an inner surface with a tuning pad affixed thereto. The base frame, speaker assembly, and the face panel cooperate to form an acoustic chamber that is positioned behind the inner surface of the face panel. Acoustic energy is transferred from the speaker assembly to the face panel via the acoustic chamber where the sound is produced therefrom to the room.

  • Patent number: 9313570
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a waterproof speaker system for use in residential and commercial applications. The disclosed speaker system is particularly applicable to wet conditions with large temperature changes such as greenhouses, gardens, boats, and other outdoor installations or where traditional speakers are negatively affected by water, temperature changes, and humidity. The waterproof speaker system generally comprises a solid water impermeable cast rear and side casing, and internal front frame member housing the speaker drivers and in some cases a simple electronics or amplification circuit, and a water impermeable front face panel sealed to the front frame member and/or the rear casing to completely enclose the speaker driver from contact with moisture.
