Submersible speaker system with a compressible spacer

A loudspeaker system comprising:

• a loudspeaker grille comprising:
• grille ports configured to allow passage of sound waves from an inside of a camera housing to an outside of the camera housing when the loudspeaker grille is connected to the camera housing;
• a thickness that is equal to a thickness of the camera housing so that when the loudspeaker grille is connected to the camera housing, the loudspeaker grille is substantially flush with an exterior and an interior of the camera housing;
• a loudspeaker system configured to be located inside of the camera housing, the loudspeaker system comprising:
• a loudspeaker configured to convert an electrical signal into the sound waves;
• an audio circuit board in communication with the loudspeaker to process an audio signal;
• a waterproof membrane separating the loudspeaker system from the loudspeaker grille when located within the camera housing, the waterproof membrane configured to prevent moisture from passing from the outside the camera housing to the inside of the camera housing while allowing transmission of the sound waves through the waterproof membrane;
• and
• a support structure having a rectangular outer perimeter and separating the waterproof membrane from the loudspeaker system,
• wherein the loudspeaker is located adjacent to the support structure so that the loudspeaker is located on an internal side of the support structure and the waterproof membrane is located on an external side of the support structure opposite the loudspeaker, and
• wherein the waterproof membrane divides the loudspeaker system into a first loudspeaker cavity between a first side of the loudspeaker grille and a first side of the waterproof membrane and a second loudspeaker cavity between a second side of the waterproof membrane and a first side of the support structure.

A camera system comprising:

• a camera housing;
• a loudspeaker grille located within the camera housing so that the camera housing and the loudspeaker grille are coplanar;
• a loudspeaker system located within the camera housing, the loudspeaker system comprising:
• a loudspeaker configured to convert an electrical signal into sound waves, and
• an audio circuit board in communication with the loudspeaker, the audio circuit board configured to process an audio signal;
• a waterproof membrane inside of the camera housing and separating the loudspeaker system from the loudspeaker grille, the waterproof membrane configured to prevent moisture from passing from outside of the camera housing to the inside of the camera housing while allowing a transmission of the sound waves through the waterproof membrane, and
• a support structure separating the waterproof membrane from the loudspeaker system,
• wherein the waterproof membrane divides the loudspeaker system into:
• a first loudspeaker cavity located between a first side of the loudspeaker grille and a first side of the waterproof membrane;
• and
• a second loudspeaker cavity located between a second side of the waterproof membrane and a first side of the support structure.
