Abstract

A loudspeaker assembly linked to a amplifier includes a loudspeaker assembly having a housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, and four side walls in which a high frequency driver and a midrange driver are mounted. The loudspeaker assembly further includes a transceiver and associated microprocessor. The amplifier is linked to the loudspeaker assembly. The amplifier includes a transceiver and associated microprocessor. The transceiver of the loudspeaker assembly is paired with the transceiver of the amplifier for the exchange of information with the amplifier.

Claims (20)

1. A loudspeaker assembly linked to an amplifier, comprising:

the loudspeaker assembly including a housing, the loudspeaker assembly further including a transceiver and associated microprocessor;

a wire through which audio signals are transmitted linking the amplifier to the loudspeaker assembly, the amplifier including a transceiver and associated microprocessor;

the transceiver of the loudspeaker assembly being paired with the transceiver of the amplifier for the exchange of information with the amplifier.

2. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the amplifier uses the information received from the loudspeaker assembly in adjusting the amplifier settings via the microprocessor for optimal use of the loudspeaker assembly.

3. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the transceiver of the loudspeaker assembly is a wireless transceiver.

4. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the transceiver of the loudspeaker assembly is an RFID tag.

5. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the transceiver of the amplifier is a wireless transceiver.

6. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the transceiver of the amplifier is an RFID interrogator.

7. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the microprocessor of the amplifier is provided with Internet access.

8. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 7 , further including a database of loudspeaker assemblies accessible by the amplifier via a communication network.

9. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the transceiver and microprocessor of the loudspeaker speaker assembly are replaceable.

10. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the housing includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and side walls in which a high frequency driver and a midrange driver are mounted, the bottom wall of the housing is selectively secured to the side walls allowing for selective replacement of the bottom wall, and the transceiver and microprocessor are secured to the bottom wall of the housing.

11. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the amplifier uses the information received from the loudspeaker assembly in adjusting the amplifier settings via the microprocessor for optimal use of the loudspeaker assembly.

12. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the transceiver of the loudspeaker assembly is a wireless transceiver.

13. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the transceiver of the loudspeaker assembly is an RFID tag.

14. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the transceiver of the amplifier is a wireless transceiver.

15. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the transceiver of the amplifier is an RFID interrogator.

16. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the microprocessor of the amplifier is provided with Internet access.

17. The loudspeaker assembly according to claim 16 , further including a database of loudspeaker assemblies accessible by the amplifier via a communication network.
