A multiple speaker outdoor audio system receiving wi fi signals. The array comprises multiple range 30 to 40 ohm speakers connected in parallel to a wi fi enabled amplifier. The number of speakers are selected to maintain the load on the system amplifier within an acceptable range, usually 1 to 8 ohms. The array may also include a low range speaker such as an 8 ohm sub-woofer. The speaker array “kit” may be used indoors or outdoors and allows the user to distribute an array of speakers and sub woofer over an area to achieve balanced coverage using Wi Fi amplifier.

A vehicle subwoofer system and method of use. The subwoofer system includes a powered subwoofer electrically connected to a vehicle speaker through an input line assembly, an inverter deriving power from the vehicle DC power system through a DC power line, and the inverter powering the subwoofer through an AC power line. In the preferred embodiment, the input line assembly incorporated alligator clips to quickly and easily connect to speaker contacts, and the DC power line included a DC power plug to quickly and easily plug into a vehicle DC power receptacle. Method steps include electrically connecting the input line assembly to the vehicle speaker, electrically connecting the powered subwoofer to the inverter through the AC power line, electrically connecting the DC power line to the vehicle DC power source, and a listener enjoying reinforced bass sound from the subwoofer derived from the vehicle speaker.

Embodiments include a system for enhancing an audio listening experience, the system comprising an electrical device configured to impart vibrations, to a chest area of a user, based on an incoming audio signal and detect an acoustic resonance generated in a chest cavity of the user as a result of the vibrations; and an acoustic system configured to output the incoming audio signal in synchrony with the vibrations imparted to the chest cavity and simultaneously deliver haptic and audible vibrations associated with the acoustic resonance to the ears of the user. Embodiments also include a headphone system comprising an audio driver for outputting an incoming audio signal to the ears; and at least one acoustical port configured to deliver haptic and audible vibrations to the ear, the haptic and audible vibrations being associated with an acoustic resonance generated in a chest cavity of the user based on the audio signal.

An example tiled display imaging system includes a frame and a plurality of tiles supported on the frame in a geometrical configuration for displaying a composite image. Each tile includes a display configured to display a respective portion of the composite image according to image data. Each tile further includes an acoustic coupling device coupled to the display, the acoustic coupling device configured to induce resonance in the display to generate an audio response at the tile according to audio data.

Described herein are wearable sensory stimulation and monitoring devices that can be worn around the back of the neck along and in contact with the spine. Apparatuses described herein stimulate one or more senses including auditory, tactile or olfactory. Apparatuses are also described that allow for sensing and monitoring of physiologic parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure and movement. The device also has features that allow for easy attachment or integration to articles worn on the head.

Furniture such as a mattresses and beds containing mattresses include transducers disposed within the furniture and exposed from external surfaces of the furniture to deliver sounds or ranges of sonic frequencies in a sonic wave vibration format through the furniture to the occupant of the furniture and audible format through external speakers to an area around the furniture.

An electronic furniture assembly of the present invention comprises: (i) a furniture assembly comprising: (A) a base (e.g., a seat portion), (B) at least one transverse member (e.g., a side, armrest or backrest), and (C) a coupler for selectively coupling the base to the transverse member; and (ii) a speaker system mounted within one or more portions of the furniture assembly. The speaker system comprises one or more speakers mounted within the base and/or the transverse member, hiding the speakers therein, and saving space within a home or office, using the same footprint for both furniture and speakers, providing a high fidelity surround sound system.

A method and system for communicating audio, video, and/or control signals within a home entertainment system. A plurality of audio channels is communicated between a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver. The wireless transmitter is located proximate to a speaker housing. In some embodiments the speaker housing also encloses a center channel loudspeaker. The center channel loudspeaker transmits an audio signal to a remote loudspeaker. An exemplary remote loudspeaker is a subwoofer loudspeaker. The subwoofer loudspeaker provides one or more received audio channels to one or more surround loudspeakers.

A system includes at least one sound producing device comprising at least one speaker stacked vertically and configured to be housed in a corner of furniture of a pontoon watercraft and generating constructive interference gains in at least one zone at a particular sound stage at a height above a deck of the pontoon watercraft.

Systems and methods for providing augmented arrays for audio playback are disclosed. An example playback device includes a first transducer configured to output audio along a first acoustic axis and a second transducer configured to output audio along a second acoustic axis. The playback device is configured to receive a source stream of audio content including at least a first input channel and a second input channel. The device plays back first audio output via the first transducer based on the first input channel and directed along the first acoustic axis, and plays back second audio output via the second transducer based on the second input channel and directed along the second acoustic axis, wherein the second audio output at least partially cancels the first audio output along a first spatial region offset from the first acoustic axis.
