Abstract
An application for a music system with rotatable directional speakers includes a console that faces a performer and is mounted on a pedestal. A base is connected to a bottom end of the pedestal to provide support to the pedestal and console. At least one speaker is rotatably mounted on a first side of the pedestal at an angle and at least one other speaker is rotatably mounted on a second side of the pedestal at the angle. When the speakers are rotated away from the performer, a direction of sound from the speakers diverges with respect to the music system and when the speakers are rotated towards the performer, the direction of sound from the speakers converges toward the performer.
Claims15
A music system with rotatable directional speakers, the music system comprising:
- a console, the console faces a performer;
- a pedestal, a first end of the pedestal connected to and supporting the console;
- a base, the base connected to a distal end of the pedestal, the base providing support to the pedestal;
- at least one speaker rotatably mounted on a first side of the pedestal at an angle;
- and
- at least one speaker rotatably mounted on a second side of the pedestal at another angle;
- whereas when the speakers are rotated away from the performer, a direction of sound from the speakers diverges with respect to the music system and when the speakers are rotated towards the performer, the direction of sound from the speakers converges toward the performer;
- wherein the speakers are rotatably mounted to the pedestal with a keyed mounting system and the speakers are removable from the pedestal when the speakers are rotated to a horizontal position and the speakers are not removable from the pedestal when the speakers rotated to a vertical position.
A method of using a music system, the music system having a console that faces a performer and is mounted on and supported by a pedestal and at least two speakers rotatably mounted on alternating sides of the pedestal at an angle, the method comprising:
- rotating the at least two speakers away from the performer during a time when the performer has an audience, thereby the at least two speakers are aimed at the audience and sound from the speaker converges towards the audience;
- and
- rotating the at least two speakers toward the performer during a time when the performer is listening to their own performance, thereby the at least two speakers are aimed at the performer and sound from the speaker diverge towards a point near the performer
- wherein side surfaces of the pedestal are angled, converging at a point towards the performer, thereby providing the angle.
A music system with rotatable directional speakers, the music system comprising:
- a console, the console faces a performer;
- a pedestal, a first end of the pedestal connected to and supporting the console;
- a base, the base connected to a distal end of the pedestal, the base providing support to the pedestal;
- at least two speakers;
- and
- means for rotatably mounting the at least two speakers on opposing sides of the pedestal at an angle such that when the speakers are rotated away from the performer, a direction of sound from the speakers diverges with respect to the music system and when the speakers are rotated towards the performer, the direction of sound from the speakers converges toward the performer;
- wherein side surfaces of the pedestal are angled, converging at a point towards the performer, thereby providing the angle.
