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.

Claims (35)

1. 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.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first mounting bracket is configured to be attached to the loudspeaker monitor above the second mounting bracket.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein each indent is substantially u-shaped.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the indents is serrated.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the indents is constructed from a high-friction material.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the high-friction material is rubber.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein each mounting bracket includes a base plate and an over-moulding attached to the base plate.

8. 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.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first mounting bracket is configured to be attached to a top portion of the monitor, and the second mounting bracket is configured to be attached to a bottom portion of the monitor.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein each indent is substantially u-shaped.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein each indent is shaped to increase an area of contact between the indent and the microphone stand pole.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein each indent is serrated.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the indents is formed by a high-friction material applied to an underlying indent frame.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the high-friction material is rubber.

15. 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.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising attaching the upper mounting bracket and the lower mounting bracket to the monitor.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein each indent is substantially u-shaped.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein each indent is coated with rubber.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein each indent is serrated.
