Can anyone remind me who makes the laser aiming tools for loudspeakers?

I remember one that had a magnetic base with a 90 perpendicular laser for aiming the speaker to known point but they also made a inclinometer for attaching to the speakers.

Hi John.... There were a few of these but there is a better idea... Stick a mirror to the front of the speaker so it is parallel to the front face.... Then take a small hand held laser and a stand that will allow elevation angle changes... Mount the laser and take the stand to the seat you wish to set it at. Aim the laser at the mirror and then have someone els aim the speaker until the laser beam returns to the laser....Voila! it is aligned

Hi John,

The one I think you are thinking of is the Checkpoint system. Their speaker aiming system is discontinued but Checkpoint is still in business, you'll find them here:

Yes Checkpoint looks like the one I remember, too bad the speaker items are discontinued.

The Laser and Mirror suggestion is great, that will help a lot as long as I have a good EASE model for the loudspeaker with a relevant aiming line.

I was also looking at something like this:

to drop on a speaker cluster and get down angles applied correctly by our install team.

Thank you all for your help!

I find a laser easier to use than a tape measure. It really helps with toe in and you can shoot to a target in the listening room. I also use it adjust the vertical angle of the tweeters. It also makes finding the first reflection points easy by shooting it into a mirror on the side walls. i am see a side there have lots of information about speakers. its link.
