Abstract:

A modular loudspeaker system of uniformly sized and shaped loudspeaker modules permits hanging of a plurality of the modules in a wide variety of desired configurations. Each module has a pair of side walls with recessed upper and lower marginal edge portions and an integrally formed reinforced connectable structure that spans between the recessed edge portions for reinforcement of the module across its side. When several modules are hung vertically, the vertically aligned reinforced connectable structures reinforce the system along its entire length. Three module types are disclosed, with one type adapted for removable mounting therein of a speaker horn via a quick release hub. Overall, the system provides optimum versatility in adapting to the acoustical requirements of a wide variety of performance venues.
