2. Problem statement
The teacher does not have sufficient space in the classroom to utilize a set of quality speakers. One speaker sits on the floor and one sits on top of a bookshelf, thus occupying space that is needed for classroom activities and storage. Also, the sound quality is poor due to the current arrangement.

3. Design statement
Design a speaker support system that will allow the two speakers to be securely mounted to the classroom’s concrete block wall(s).

4. Constraints Design must be ready for manufacturing in 2 weeks.
Each speaker is 12”H x 9”W x 9”D.
Each speaker weighs 10 lbs.
The system must be able to fit in a 11”x 8.5”x 5.5” USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box for shipping purposes (not including the speakers).
The system must weigh under 20 lbs (not including the weight of the speakers).
Must be mechanically fastened to a concrete block wall (mechanical fasteners provided by the clients).
System must allow speakers to be adjusted by tilting forward/backward and panning left/right.

5. Our solution

6. What did we do?
We created a speaker support that consists of a platform (platform supports the speaker) that can remain at a horizontal level thanks to the use of two separate adjustment arms.

7. Wall-plate Attaches the assembly to the wall Made out of aluminum-6061
Has spot for arm1 to attach to
Said spot has divots to hold vertical adjustment in place

8. Arm 1 Arm that attaches to the wall-plate. Arm2 attaches to this arm.
Made out of Aluminum-6061
Has divots on each end to hold vertical adjustments in place

9. Arm 2 This is the arm the support plate attaches to.
Made out of Aluminum-6061
Attaches to Arm1
Has divots to hold
vertical adjustment in place

10. Support-plate Attaches to arm2 by use of bolt2 and screw3
Supports the speaker
Made out of
aluminum-6061

11. Screw 1 Attaches arm1 to both arm2 and the wallplate
Made out of stainless steel
Fastened by bolt 1

12. Screw 2 Attaches the wall-plate to the wall
Made out of stainless-steel

13. Screw3 Attaches support-plate to arm2 Fastens to bolt2
Made out of stainless steel

14. Bolt 1 Attaches Arm1 to both the wall-plate and Arm2. Fastens screw1
Made out of stainless steel

15. Bolt 2 Attaches the support-plate to arm2 Fastens screw3
Made out of stainless steel

As a finishing touch, we created a speaker that fit the constraints of the proposed speaker
