A wall panel mounting speaker unit and bracket therefor, the bracket including a pair of beams for bridging a blind opening of the panel, the beams being connected by screws to a housing of the speaker unit for clamping the panel against a bezel flange of the speaker unit. A pair of foot members are tiltably attached to each beam, the foot members making level contact with the panel regardless of bending deflections of the beams due to clamping forces produced by the screws.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A speaker support bracket for mounting a speaker unit to a panel member, the panel member having a panel opening therein, the panel opening being spaced within a footprint region of the panel, the footprint region corresponding to a bezel contact outline of the speaker unit, the bracket comprising: (a) a beam member for bridging the panel opening opposite the footprint region; (b) a pair of foot members movably connected to the beam member at spaced apart locations thereon and having respective panel contact surfaces for contacting a rear surface of the panel member on opposite sides of the panel opening, the foot members being tiltable relative to the beam member wherein each of the foot members has an arcuate beam contacting surface formed thereon, the beam member having corresponding arcuate bearing surfaces formed thereon for slidably contacting the respective beam contacting surfaces; and (c) at least one clamp engaging surface formed on the beam member and spaced between the foot members for clamping the panel member between the foot members and the speaker unit, the foot members being tiltable relative to the beam member in response to bending flexure of the beam member when clamping force is applied between the clamp engaging surface and the panel member.
2.
The bracket of claim 1, including at least two of the clamp engaging surfaces, the clamp engaging surfaces being spaced apart between the foot members.
3.
The bracket of claim 1, wherein contacting portions of each bearing surface and the corresponding beam contacting surfaces subtend respective bearing angles, the bearing angles of each being less than 180.
degree.
, the bracket further comprising a pair of retainers for holding the foot members engaged with the beam member.
4.
The bracket of claim 3, wherein the beam member is formed with slots therein within each of the bearing surfaces, each of the retainers comprising a headed member rigidly connected to the respective foot member and engaging the corresponding slot
