Abstract

A device has one or more loudspeakers housed in a rigid loudspeaker frame and a back cover, affixed to the rigid loudspeaker frame, with a base layer and a raised layer fitted against a back side of the rigid loudspeaker frame, and the base layer has a uniform layer thickness and the raised layer is a non-uniform grid of raised supports which extend beyond a height of the uniform layer thickness to create a plurality of enclosed portions having the uniform layer thickness.

Claims (14)

1. An apparatus comprising:

one or more loudspeakers housed in a rigid loudspeaker frame; and

a back cover, affixed to the rigid loudspeaker frame, comprising a base layer and a raised layer fitted against a back side of the rigid loudspeaker frame, wherein the base layer has a uniform layer thickness and the raised layer is a non-uniform grid of raised supports which extend beyond a height of the uniform layer thickness to create a plurality of enclosed portions having the uniform layer thickness.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of enclosed portions have a unique shape that is different from each of the contiguous enclosed portions.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the raised layer comprises vertical and horizontal ribs which have arbitrary paths extending across a body of the back cover.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of enclosed portions comprise a different surface area than each of the other of the plurality of enclosed portions.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a perimeter of the back cover includes a plurality of recessions and protrusions.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base layer comprises a plurality of raised cavities to receive a bolt from another portion of the rigid loudspeaker frame.

7. An apparatus comprising:

a back cover of a loudspeaker frame, comprising a base layer and a raised layer fitted against a back side of a rigid loudspeaker frame, wherein the base layer has a uniform layer thickness and the raised layer is a non-uniform grid of raised supports which extend beyond a height of the uniform layer thickness to create a plurality of uniquely shaped enclosed portions having the uniform layer thickness and wherein each of the enclosed portions is shaped differently from each of the other of the plurality of enclosed portions.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the raised layer comprises vertical and horizontal ribs which have arbitrary paths extending across a body of the back cover.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of enclosed portions comprise a different surface area than each of the other of the plurality of enclosed portions.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a perimeter of the back cover includes a plurality of recessions and protrusions.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the base layer comprises a plurality of raised cavities to receive a bolt from another portion of the rigid loudspeaker frame.
