Abstract
A displaceable speaker assembly for a vehicle includes a housing, a speaker array rotatably coupled to the housing and including a plurality of electro-acoustic transducers (e.g., twiddlers), a drive unit coupled to the housing, and a lever assembly coupling the drive unit to the speaker array. The drive unit is operable to drive motion of the lever assembly, which, in turn, drives rotation of the speaker array relative to the housing.
