Abstract
A tower-type speaker cabinet assembly for plural speakers of a high fidelity audio system, including a vertically elongated tower cabinet having a pair of front wall segments adjacent the uppermost and lowermost ends of the tower speaker cabinet and an intermediate forwardly opening cavity extending between the upper and lower front wall segments, a pair of vertically spaced large subwoofer speakers in the respective upper and lower front wall segments with associated inner cabinets forming sound boxes therefor, and a swivelled movable center subcabinet spanning the vertical distance between said front wall segments, having a woofer, a mid-bass speaker and a pair of tweeters carried by a front wall portion of the center subcabinet in vertical alignment. The subcabinet has a range of swivel movement horizontally through predetermined angles about a vertical axis located a short distance rearwardly from the front wall of the swivelled subcabinet. Shock absorber strips are provided between the inner cabinets and the outer cabinet for minimizing vibration transfer therebetween.
