  • Patent number: 7522742
    Abstract: A speaker assembly includes a housing that can be attached to a wall. Audio speakers are mounted in a baffle that is mounted in and movable relative to the housing, so that the direction of audio signals emitted from the speakers can be selected and controlled. End and side retaining surfaces extend rearwardly from the housing and define an enclosure within which the baffle is mounted and moveable relative to the housing. Slotted channels are formed in the end retaining surfaces, and the baffle is moveably attached to the housing by fasteners extending from end mounting surfaces formed in the baffle and through the slotted channels formed in the housing. The speakers may also be mounted to be moveable relative to the baffle.
