Abstract

A method for suspending a plurality of individual loudspeakers from an overhead support in spaced apart relationship for adjustment to different related positions and orientations relative to one another to selectively focus the acoustic throw of the loudspeakers. The method includes selecting frame members having respective first coupling elements and connectors including respective second coupling elements and respective pivot joints. The frame members are mounted to the loudspeakers and the respective second coupling elements are coupled to the respective first coupling elements between adjacent pairs of frame members to position the loudspeakers adjacent one another. The pivot joints are then adjusted to pivot the loudspeakers to selected orientations and the resulting apparatus is then suspended from an overhead support.
