Abstract
A loudspeaker system and method of utilizing and/or installing thereof. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide a loudspeaker system that may be conveniently integrated with a power distribution network of a premises.
Claims28
A loudspeaker device comprising:
- an enclosure configured to attach to a front side of a junction box;
- an electrical outlet adapted to receive an electrical plug of a device external to the loudspeaker device;
- first power circuitry that connects electrical power from the junction box to the electrical outlet;
- communication circuitry operable to receive an audio signal from an audio source external to the loudspeaker device;
- audio circuitry operable to generate an audio output based on the received audio signal;
- and
- second power circuitry operable to receive electrical power from the junction box and provide electrical power to at least the communication circuitry and the audio circuitry.
