Abstract

An audio speaker system employing mounted LED lights in the body as well as in associated portions of the speaker such as in the speaker grill or the like including optional operation of the lights by independent control as well as control by input and/or output from the mounting speaker or other speakers environmentally associated with the mounting speaker. A method for the use of these items is also provided.

Claims

1. An audio speaker system comprising:

a) a speaker enclosure;

b) at least one light emitting diode (LED) mounted on said enclosure.

3. An audio speaker system as defined in claim 1 wherein said diode is responsive to audio input.

4. An audio speaker system as defined in claim 1 wherein said diode is responsive to electrical input.

5. An audio speaker system as defined in claim 1 wherein said diode is responsive to an environmental audio input.

2. An audio-visual entertainment system having as the sole sound source at least one high fidelity audio speaker, having mounted thereon at least one light emitting diode (LED) as the sole light source.

6. An audio entertainment device comprising at least one audio speaker, said speaker having mounted thereon at least one light emitting diode (LED), said light emitting diode being responsive to an input selected from either power or audio or a combination of power and audio.

7. A method for improving the entertainment value of an audio system comprising mounting an LED light on an audio speaker operationally associated with said system, said speaker being the sole source of noise generation in said system and said light being the sole source of light generated in said system.
