Abstract: A system and method for creating a synchronized audio signal having a variable sound perspective from a plurality of audio signals captured by mobile recording devices. The system includes an audio source for producing an audio signal, mobile devices for capturing the audio signal as audio recordings. The mobile devices are connected to a server via a communications network. The audio recordings are transmitted from the mobile devices to the server over the communications network. The server receives the audio recordings and saves them to a database. A mixer accesses the saved audio recordings and then aligns, mixes, and modifies them according to mixing instructions to produce a synchronized recording having a first sound perspective. A user may provide input to the server to generate new mixing instructions, and the mixer generates an updated synchronized recording having a second sound perspective in response to those new mixing instructions.

Abstract: A system and assembly for mounting components of equipment is disclosed. The assembly includes a mount assembly configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. The mount assembly includes a first and second mount. Each mount has a plunger to allow rotation of the mount assembly, and an end for attachment to a component of equipment. The assembly further includes a first brace coupled to the first mount and a second brace coupled to the second mount. Each brace has a first end for attachment to a surface, a second end having an open hem to retain the respective mount, a plurality of pivot holes configured to receive the plunger, and a pivot point coupling the respective mount and the brace.
