CINEMA SURROUND AND DISPLAY SOLUTIONS
SAFE, PREDICTABLE INSTALLATIONSLOAD-RATED & SOUND ISOLATED
StarGridTM
StarGrid takes the fear away from installing ceiling
speakers in auditoriums.
StarGrid is a complete kit shipped to the job site and
comprised of load-rated and lockable channels, brack-
ets, fittings, tubing and specialty rigging hardware that
creates a custom grid de¬sign that is unique for each
auditorium.
Sleep better knowing that ceiling speakers are securely
installed and will not fall. This is a safe and predictable
way to rig and aim ceiling speakers from a pre-engi-
neered and load-rated overhead grid that floats just
above the dropped ceiling and anchors into roof joists or
ceiling structure.
StarGrid is engineered specifically for cin¬ema audi-
toriums and post production editing facilities, offering
significant time savings, precision and drift-free speaker
angle settings with far less down-time.
First we prepare a preliminary estimate based on the
quantity and model of ceiling surrounds and the distance
between the back and front speakers.
The StarGrid system is then designed into the auditori-
um’s architectural CAD drawings, as is its multi-dimen-
sional speaker overlay (Atmos and Auro).
Important secondary attributes of StarGrid include sound
isolation that prevents sound from transmitting into other
auditoriums, wire manage¬ment, safety cables, an-
ti-sway devices, redundant safety back-ups and optional
seismic restraint kits.
Perhaps the most important element of StarGrid is the
detailed ten-page assembly and installation drawing
package that installers use as a guide. This manual pro-
vides a “Start Here” approach and documents all of the
assemblies into one very easy to understand installation
guide. This is what makes installing ceiling speakers so
predictable.
For the project engineer, the StarGrid design package
details gross weight loads, point to point safe working
loads and an overall working load calculation for building
specifications.

JOINER/SUSPENSION BRACE
This Brace couples multiple channel
sections and provides a tensioned vertical
support for Overhead Grids in facilities that
have large open spaces between beams.
This allows the Grid to skip one or more
beams and bridge around obstacles such
as HVAC, sprinklers, etc.
Select our MultiMount® product line to
provide both pan & tilt adjustments for
speakers equipped with a 4-hole mounting
hole pattern or for tilt only, chose from our
selection of U-Brackets for speakers with
one mounting hole per side.
The down extension assem-
bly attaches directly under the
Grid and supports the surround
speaker from above the dropped
ceiling. Sized to the require-
ments of the installation and
includes an integral conduit for
speaker wire and safety cables.

SOUND ISOLATION
SECURE OVERHEAD ATTACH POINTS
GRID ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS
Limits the amount of sound trans-
mitted between auditoriums and
into the building structure. Adaptive
StarGrid employs sound isolation
materials and sound dampened
components that are designed to
eliminate harmonic vibrations within
the grid assembly.
To assure a safe and efficient installation, we determine the cor-
rect load-rated rigging components that are compatible with the
building materials of the auditorium. These components include
beam clamps, truss clamps, concrete anchors, swivel fittings, etc.
Stargrid is comprised of load-rated
and lockable channels, brackets,
fittings, tubing and specialty hardware
that enable designers and installers
to create an unlimited variety of grid
designs. For a quicker installation,
these components and assemblies are
illustrated in the final design drawing
package.

CEILING SURROUND MOUNTS WITH 3 AXIS ROTATION
WALL SURROUND MOUNTS WITH 2 AXIS OF ROTATION
Allen Products, div. of Adaptive Technologies Group is the lead-
ing designer of quality surround sound speaker mounts and has
been since surround sound technology emerged in the 1980s.
U-Bracket mounts offers quick, low-cost installation attributes.
Speakers tilt into position allowing auditoriums to be “tuned” for
an optimum audio experience. Single-man installs are com-
mon, optional snap-on cover plates mask hardware and wiring,
as well as to provide a clean and cosmetically appealing result.
MultiMount®, our pan and tilt solution is now even more in
demand, especially with the need to aim wall surrounds toward
the “sweet” spot and for multi-dimensional sound applications.
Independent pan, tilt and roll controls disallow speaker angles
to drift and safely secure speakers in place, providing excep-
tional pattern coverage.
Various sizes accommodate surround speakers weighing from
20 lbs up to over 120 lbs (9 Kg to 56 Kg). The MultiMount’s
adjustable wall arm serves as a convenient carrying handle
that inserts easily into the wall plate making for easy and safe
installations.
Multi-dimensional auditoriums require safe and efficient ways to
install and aim loudspeakers from ceilings to yield an optimum
worry-free sound experience.
Immersive sound formats such as Atmos, MDA and Auro3D require
precise, permanent aiming. Adaptive’s designs achieve and lock in
specified angles and included indexing reveal the exact angle the
speaker is set at.
The UB-3RDX-60 is an interface that secures between a U-Bracket
mount and an overhead structure to provide a third axis of rotation.
Angle indicators allow the installer to set the specified angle on
the first try. One model provides a hard mount to the ceiling and
another adapts to standard NPT and BSPT pipe thread.
The MM-3RDX-18 MultiMount adapts to speakers with 4-hole
mounting patterns. This complete mount design offers three inde-
pendent axes of rotation. Angle indicators reveal the exact angle
of the speaker, saving time, and each rotation locks independently
without drifting over time. One model provides a hard mount to the
ceiling and another adapts to standard NPT and BSPT pipe thread.

Adaptive approaches the design and installation of permanently installed and flyable video walls differently than single mount competitors. Rather than assemble single display mounts to-gether like pieces in puzzle, Adaptive creates the complete frame that goes up as one structure and in any desired configuration such as 2X2, 3X3, 4X3, etc. Because Adaptive frames are designed as one unit, most critical monitor alignments are already made. Once the frame is attached to the wall, monitors are installed to specific mounting points for an accurate, fast and easy installation.
