摘要： Loudspeaker mounting apparatus that permits mounting of a loudspeaker at an angle to a mounting surface. In one embodiment the apparatus comprises an assembly that includes a frame member that is flush mountable in a cutout in the mounting surface. The frame member includes an angled flange that is employed for the mounting of a cooperative baffle. The front of the baffle is recessed behind the mounting surface to permit a flush speaker installation. The baffle mounts to the angled flange of the frame member in one of two possible predetermined orientiations so as to disperse sound around a centerline that is either oriented normal to the mounting surface or at a predetermined angle from normal corresponding to the degree of angle incorporated into the frame and baffle assembly. In an alternative embodiment, a single panel-mount loudspeaker mounting frame is provided that has a speaker mounting surface angled with respect to the mounting surface so as to disperse sound around a centerline angled with respect to the plane of the wall or ceiling in which it is mounted. The speaker mounting surface is recessed within the wall when the the frame member is mounted in its intended mounting position so that the speaker will not extend into the room when the frame member is mounted to the wall or ceiling.
