Abstract
A mounting bracket system for mounting a loudspeaker monitor onto a microphone stand pole without requiring disassembly of either the loudspeaker monitor or the microphone stand. First and second mounting brackets may be mounted to a loudspeaker monitor or other product to be mounted. An indent on each mounting bracket is configured to engage a microphone stand or another elongated, pole-like structure, supporting the weight of the loudspeaker monitor through frictional forces.
Claims19
A loudspeaker monitor mounting bracket system, comprising:
- first and second mounting brackets each configured to be attached to a loudspeaker monitor and to extend generally away from a back side of the monitor;
- a first indent formed in the first mounting bracket and facing generally toward the back side of the monitor when the first mounting bracket is attached to the monitor;
- and
- a second indent formed in the second mounting bracket and facing generally away from the back side of the monitor when the second mounting bracket is attached to the monitor;
- wherein the mounting brackets are angled toward each other as they extend away from the back side of the monitor;
- and
- wherein each indent is configured to engage a microphone stand without requiring any disassembly of the stand.
A pole-mountable loudspeaker monitor system, comprising:
- a loudspeaker monitor;
- a first mounting bracket attached to the loudspeaker monitor and including a first indent facing generally toward a back surface of the loudspeaker monitor;
- a second mounting bracket attached to the loudspeaker monitor and including a second indent facing generally away from the back surface of the loudspeaker monitor;
- wherein the mounting brackets are angled toward each other as they extend away from the back side of the monitor;
- and
- wherein the indents are configured to engage a microphone stand pole and to hold the loudspeaker monitor securely in place on the pole without any disassembly of the stand.
A method of mounting a loudspeaker monitor to a microphone stand, comprising:
- positioning an upper portion of a microphone stand pole between a loudspeaker monitor and an upper mounting bracket attached to the monitor;
- positioning a lower portion of the pole distal to an inner edge of a lower mounting bracket attached to the monitor;
- aligning the pole with indents of the brackets;
- and
- engaging the pole securely with the indents;
- wherein the mounting brackets are angled toward each other as they extend away from the back side of the monitor;
- and
- wherein the method is performed without any disassembly of the microphone stand.
