ABSTRACT:
A speaker assembly with a unique sound driver sub-baffle assembly which can be pivoted forward and backward, as well as rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise 360 degrees via the use of a rotatable turntable mounted within the speaker's baffle. The assembly allows a listener to manually alter the orientation and direction of the speaker's transducers thereby allowing for optimal dispersion control after the speaker is installed in a wall, regardless of the speaker's position within a room. The sub-baffle assembly, when pivoted to its maximum limit, provides a flush, continuous surface with the inner rim of the rotatable turntable, allowing a listener to control dispersion of the sound waves without creating distortion. Further, the transducers embedded within the sub-baffle assembly are maintained in a coplanar relationship throughout rotation and pivoting.
