Claims6
In combination with a building structure, the improvements consisting of an audio speaker system for mounting in said building structure, said audio speaker system including
- (a) a support structure;
- (b) sound producing means mounted in said support structure for receiving signals and producing vibrations which produce sound waves which emanate from said sound producing means;
- (c) at least one reference line;
- (d) first means mounted on said audio speaker system in a selected orientation with respect to said reference line to mount said support structure in a first desired orientation in said building structure;
- and,
- (e) second means mounted on said audio speaker system in a selected orientation with respect to said reference line to mount said sup-port structure in a second desired orientation in said building structure.
A method for recessing an audio speaker system in a building structure, including the steps of
- (a) providing sound production means including
- a support structure,
- a cover to be mounted on said support structure,
- sound producing means mounted in said support structure for receiving signals and producing vibrations which produce sound waves which emanate from said sound producing means, and
