articulated/articulating arm
Explanation:
Sounds like a feature that allows the ceiling-mounted speakers/segments to be pivoted/swivelled/turned/tilted.
Are the ‘segments’ perhaps speaker segments, e.g. woofer/tweeter...?
A bit more context might be useful.

hinges


Explanation:
quite simply:
A hinge is a mechanical bearing that connects two solid objects, typically allowing only a limited angle of rotation between them.

Explanation:
I guess this may refer to such a construction:
