Suspension system mechanism

A method for assembling a line array of speaker assemblies comprising:

• stacking a first speaker assembly upon a second speaker assembly;
• connecting a first suspension system of the first speaker assembly to a second suspension system of the second speaker assembly at a first splay angle between the first speaker assembly and the second speaker assembly;
• selecting a second splay angle between the first speaker assembly and the second speaker assembly;
• connecting the first suspension system to a support;
• and
• raising the support to lift the speaker assemblies off of an underlying surface thereby adjusting the speaker assemblies from the first splay angle to the second splay angle to form a line array.

A method for installation of a line array of speaker assemblies comprising:

• providing at least two stacked speaker assemblies with suspension systems;
• inserting a pin through the suspension system of one of the at least two stacked speaker assemblies, thereby selecting an installation splay angle between the at least two stacked speaker assemblies without additional manual adjustment of the suspension systems, while the two stacked speaker assemblies are oriented at an initial splay angle;
• connecting the suspension system of an uppermost speaker assembly of the at least two stacked speaker assemblies to a support;
• and
• raising the support to lift the at least two stacked speaker assemblies, whereby the at least two stacked speaker assemblies pivot from the initial splay angle to the installation splay angle and form a line array.
