Abstract: An elliptically shaped speaker has a driver assembly which may include a woofer driver and a tweeter driver. The speaker has a uniquely designed bridge member. The bridge member acts both as a structural element and waveguide for the tweeter. It has a specific elongated, elliptical shape that allows the speaker to be inserted into a corresponding cut-out opening in a wall, ceiling or any other structural panel, then rotated behind the panel and re-inserted from behind into the opening, thereby providing a secure seal and exact positioning within the panel. The resulting system allows for a low frequency speaker to be installed behind the panel with a noticeably smaller opening than the total size of the speaker.

Abstract: A variable waveguide speaker controls, narrows, and directs the dispersion of the lower driver array to handle far-field listening areas. The widening mid-section of the speaker directs the sound from the mid-driver array to mid-field listening areas. The top of the speaker is the widest, allowing the top array drivers to cover their widest dispersion for near-field listening areas. This form-follows-function design results in a modern shape and elegant enclosure, as well as superior audio performance. A unique laminar flow grill system consisting of a multi-layer sandwich arrangement protects the speaker components from performance damage UV rays, dust, debris, water and ice.

Abstract: A fully integrated, smart, under/over water speaker system has two dedicated transducers which deliver sound directly to underwater and above water environments. A transducer which is optimized to couple sound to the air is positioned on top of a speaker and another transducer optimized to couple sound below the water is located on the bottom of the speaker. The speaker is watertight and waterproof and is completely sealed and self-righting when thrown into the water. It is wireless, has built-in integrated amplification, communication sensors and signal data processing, and is battery powered. Music streaming can be provided via wireless methods such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, along with solid state storage. Integrated RGV lighting which beats to the music can be optional both above and under the water.

Abstract: A radial dome speaker is provided which emits sound up and out from low or no profile speakers, resulting in clear and true acoustics and allows direct driver exposure to the elements regardless of its orientation. The speaker is specially configured with a radial surround element which allows for self-cleaning and self-draining, even in outdoor environments.
