Abstract: A speaker system broadly comprises a plurality of speaker assemblies each including a speaker housing, an input circuit, a low range speaker, and a higher-range speaker. The input circuit receives audio signals from a sound system or other controller and actively or passively sends the audio signals to the speakers. The low-range speaker is positioned in the upper section and the higher-range speaker is positioned in the lower section. Each speaker assembly is configured to be suspended from an elevated structure and spaced from the other speaker assemblies within a listening area with each speaker assembly generating low frequency soundwaves and higher-frequency soundwaves. This reduces or eliminates out-of-phase crossover frequency wave cancellation effects within the listening area. The speaker housings are compact while allowing the low-range speaker and higher-range speaker to effectively produce and project desired soundwaves from the suspended speaker housing into the listening area.

Abstract: An in-wall or in-ceiling speaker enclosure includes a speaker back box having one or more apertures covered with an air-filtering member (e.g., open cell foam, baffling material, etc.) that may be utilized with speakers mounted on a large baffle (wall or ceiling) for reducing sound transmission to an adjacent room while significantly lowering the resonance of the speaker system and allowing the speakers to produce much greater bass energy into a desired room. Such a speaker back box includes a posterior surface, a plurality of sidewalls engaged with the posterior surface and extending anterior thereof wherein one of the sidewalls includes a first aperture. The speaker back box further includes an anterior opening oppositely disposed from the posterior surface. A flexible and resilient air-filtering member is positioned against the first aperture wherein the air-filtering member is intermediately located between the posterior surface and anterior opening.
