Speaker system

摘要

A speaker system comprises a plurality of modules, each having an enclosure. One enclosure is a speaker enclosure that houses at least one outwardly facing driver. At least one other enclosure encloses electronic components for wirelessly receiving audio and driving at least one driver. The electronic components may be distributed among many modules. The modules are mechanically and electrically connected to each other through mounts. At least one half of a mount is connected to each enclosure. Each mount has a first half and a second half. The first half of any mount can be mechanically connected to the second half of any other mount. Each mount half includes electrical contacts that align when two halves are connected. So when the mounts of each enclosure are mechanically connected, the electronics are electrically coupled to form a circuit that wirelessly receives audio, amplifies it, and drives the driver.

1. A speaker system comprising: (a) at least one mount having two halves comprising a first half mount comprising electrical contacts, and a second half mount comprising electrical contacts that align with the electrical contacts of the first half of each of the at least one mounts when the first half and the second half are connected to each other; (b) a plurality of electronic elements comprising an audio receiver, an amplifier, and a power supply; (c) a plurality of modules comprising, (i) a first module comprising, a speaker enclosure having a first end comprising an opening, a second end, an intermediate section connecting the first end to the second end, an exterior surface, and an interior surface that defines the interior of the speaker enclosure; a driver attached to the opening of the first end of the speaker enclosure; at least one half of at least one mount of (a) connected to the speaker enclosure, wherein the driver is electrically coupled to electrical contacts of the at least one half; (ii) at least one additional module, each additional module comprising, an enclosure; at least one half of at least one mount connected to the enclosure; at least one of the electronic elements enclosed by the enclosure and electrically coupled to electrical contacts of the at least one half of at least one mount of (a); and (d) wherein each of the plurality of modules is mechanically attached to at least one other module, wherein the plurality of modules are mechanically attached when a module's first half mount is attached to another module's second half mount.
