Audio performance system
View Patent ↗An audio performance system for use during an event including a shipping container containing at least a first electroacoustic device. A lifting device forms a first portion of the shipping container, the lifting device configured to movably secure the first electroacoustic device between a first position for transport of the container and a second position for the event. A second portion of the shipping container is configured to be manually removable. A third portion of the shipping container is configured to positionably secure a second electroacoustic device for the event.
1. An audio performance system for use during an event comprising:
a shipping container containing at least a first electroacoustic device;
a lifting device forming a first portion of the shipping container, the lifting device configured to movably secure the first electroacoustic device between a first position for transport of the container and a second position for the event;
a second portion of the shipping container configured to be manually removable;
a third portion of the shipping container configured to positionably secure a second electroacoustic device for the event.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the lifting device has a yoke for movably securing the first electroacoustic device.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the yoke has an axis, the yoke configured to permit a controllable rotational movement of the first electroacoustic device about the axis with respect to the lifting device.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein a third electroacoustic device may be suspended from the first electroacoustic device when the lifting device is in the second position.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the shipping container includes a base for supporting a third electroacoustic device beneath the first electroacoustic device when the lifting device is in the second position.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the base includes a compartment for securing a fourth electroacoustic device therein.
7. The system of claim 6 , including a cover extending between a supporting surface and the base to substantially prevent viewing of the fourth electroacoustic device.
8. The system of claim 1 , including an airlifting assembly for airborne movement of the shipping container.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein when the shipping container is configured to be transported, the second portion and the third portion are assembled together to form fastened joints.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the fastened joints between the second portion and the third portion are secured by fasteners configured for manual disassembly.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fasteners are quick release fasteners.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the shipping container is sized to be portable by commercial air, land or sea transportation apparatus.
13. A method for supplying audible signals to an audience for a corresponding performance comprising:
providing a shipping container including a first electroacoustic device configured to generate audible signals and corresponding components to permit operation of the first electroacoustic device, the first electroacoustic device secured to a lifting device in a first position during transport of the container, the lifting device forming a first portion of the shipping container; and
moving the first electroacoustic device from the first position to a second position for the performance with the lifting device; and
manually removing a second portion of the shipping container.
14. The method of claim 13 , including securing a second electroacoustic device to a third portion of the shipping container.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the lifting device has a yoke for movably securing the first electroacoustic device.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the yoke has an axis, the yoke configured to permit a controllable rotational movement of the first electroacoustic device about the axis with respect to the lifting device.
17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the shipping container includes a base for supporting a third electroacoustic device beneath the first electroacoustic device when the lifting device is in the second position.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the base includes a compartment force securing a fourth electroacoustic device therein.
19. The method of claim 18 , including an airlifting assembly for airborne movement of the shipping container.
20. The method of claim 13 , wherein the shipping container is sized to be portable by commercial air, land or sea transportation apparatus.
