  • Patent number: 7261180
    Abstract: A rigging system includes a lever arm permitting all speakers supported by the speaker whose rigging is adjusted to be angularly reoriented to focus the system, even out the coverage and fine tune the coverage. Multiple pivot attachment points for the moment arm are provided to enable an enhancement of the angular adjustment provided. A dozen or more angular positions can be provided for the lever arm to facilitate the trial-and-error method of optimizing the sound quality within the house.
