drivers in a proprietary Articulated

Array

loudspeaker design provide a 180°H x 75°V

dispersion pattern out of the box when the loud-
speaker is mounted horizontally. The array can be
rotated easily to maintain this wide horizontal
dispersion pattern when the loudspeaker is
installed in the vertical orientation.
