Abstract

An embedded type speaker has the speaker body mounted on a wall by inserting the speaker within a mounting opening within the wall. A grill is detachably mounted in overlying fashion in front of the speaker body with the grill consisting of an annular grill frame having circumferentially spaced sound communicating holes at the peripheral portion and a large central opening therein. A support strip extends transversely across the central opening of the grill frame from one side of the frame to the other. A grill sheet overlies the grill frame to close off the central opening and has the same appearance and is preferably formed of the same material as that overlying the wall surface, facing in the same direction as the speaker. A packing is provided between the peripheral portion of the grill sheet and the periphery of the grill frame and a connecting member couples the center of the grill sheet to the center of the support strip.
