Abstract
One embodiment of the invention provides a post extension system frame assembly for mounting fixtures within a recess in a wall or ceiling and that can be adjusted and installed with minimal time and effort. One feature of the invention provides a post extension mechanism that can be manually installed and/or adjusted to position a first audio device either above or below the mounting surface and an angling mechanism permits adjusting the direction and angle of the audio device to permit positioning the sound dispersion axis of the audio device (e.g., speaker, tweeter, woofer, audio transducer, etc.) directly towards a listener. Another feature of the invention provides a rotating angling mechanism that permits adjusting the sound dispersion axis of a recessed second audio device.
