Abstract

A speaker system having internal and external static and dynamic constituent speaker parts at least partially coated with a hydrophobic coating to prevent water or condensation accumulations that would interfere with performance. Objects associated with the speaker, such as a speaker grill, power supply, speaker support, or speaker enclosure may also be at least partially coated with a hydrophobic coating to prevent water or condensation accumulations that would interfere with performance.

Claims (46)

1 . An hydrophobic speaker assembly comprising:

a. at least one constituent part of a speaker; and

b. an hydrophobic coating at least partially coating at least one of:

i. at least a portion of said constituent part; and

ii. at least a portion of an object configured to be associated with said at least one constituent part by attachment.

2 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein said attachment comprises direct attachment.

3 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein said at least one constituent part of a speaker comprises a diaphragm.

4 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein said at least one constituent part of a speaker comprises a spider.

5 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein said at least one constituent part of a speaker comprises a coil.

6 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein said at least one constituent part of a speaker comprises an electrical coupling.

7 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein said at least one constituent part of a speaker comprises a magnetic material.

8 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein said at least one object associated configured to be associated with said at least one constituent part comprises a speaker grill.

9 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 8 , wherein said hydrophobic coating at least partially coating a portion of said speaker grill comprises said hydrophobic coating on inner surfaces of foramina in said speaker grill.

10 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein said at least one object associated configured to be associated with said at least one constituent part comprises a speaker housing.

11 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein said at least one object associated configured to be associated with said at least one constituent part comprises a power supply.

12 . An hydrophobic speaker assembly comprising:

a. at least one constituent part of a speaker; and

b. an hydrophobic coating at least partially coating at least one of:

i. at least a portion of said constituent part; and

ii. at least a portion of an object configured to be associated with said at least one constituent part by attachment; and

c. wherein said at least one constituent part of a speaker comprises at least one of:

i. a diaphragm;

ii. a spider;

iii. a coil;

iv. a former;

v. an electrical connection;

vi. a magnetic material;

vii. a basket; and

viii. a surround.

13 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 12 , wherein said at least one object associated configured to be associated with said at least one constituent part comprises a speaker grill.

14 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 13 , wherein said hydrophobic coating at least partially coating at least a portion of said speaker grill comprises said hydrophobic coating on inner surfaces of foramina in said speaker grill.

15 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 12 , wherein said at least one object associated configured to be associated with said at least one constituent part comprises at least one of a speaker enclosure, a speaker support, and a power supply.

16 . An hydrophobic speaker assembly comprising:

a. at least one constituent part of a speaker; and

b. an hydrophobic coating at least partially coating at least one of:

i. at least a portion of said constituent part; and

ii. at least a portion of at least one object configured to be associated with said at least one constituent part by attachment; and

c. wherein said at least one object comprises at least one of:

i. a speaker grill;

ii. a speaker enclosure;

iii. a speaker support; and

iv. a power supply.

17 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 16 , wherein said hydrophobic coating hydrophobic coating at least partially coating at least a portion of said at least one object comprises said hydrophobic coating on inner surfaces of foramina in said speaker grill.

18 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 16 , wherein said at least one constituent part of a speaker comprises at least one of a diaphragm, a surround, and a basket.

19 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 16 , wherein said at least one constituent part of a speaker comprises at least one of a former, a coil, and a spider.

20 . The hydrophobic speaker assembly of claim 16 , wherein said at least one constituent part of a speaker comprises at least one of a magnetic material and an electrical connection.
