Abstract
Loudspeaker clamps and assemblies are disclosed which include base and mounting clamps having respectively engageable electrical connectors, wherein the electrical connectors include distinct electrical contacts for audio signal transmission, ground connection, and optionally light signal transmission. In some cases, the structure of the base clamp may be rotatable relative to the structure of the mounting clamp when the electrical connectors are engaged. In some embodiments, the base and mounting clamps may each include an annular structure surrounding their respective electrical connectors, wherein one of the annular structures is nestable within the other encircling structure and the nestable structure includes an outer circumferential groove. Such embodiments of clamps and assemblies further include a fork having two prongs which are dimensionally configured to slide through first and second through holes of the encircling structure and into opposing sides of the outer circumferential groove when the base and mounting clamps are engaged.
