In some embodiments, portable speakers can be small and lightweight and can communicate with one or more audio device over wired or wireless connections. In some embodiments, portable speakers achieve reduced complexity as compared to typical high fidelity systems (e.g., by including a reduced number of speaker drivers and amplifiers), while still maintaining high fidelity stereo audio playback, thereby achieving both portability and high quality audio capability. For instance, certain implementations of the speaker include two primary speakers disposed on opposing faces of the speaker enclosure (e.g., full or mid-range drivers) and two tweeters, also disposed on opposing faces. Primary speakers can be disposed on respective ends of the housing and each can output a different stereo channel. Each tweeter can be positioned on different face of the housing. The speaker system according to some embodiments generates a mono high frequency signal to drive the tweeters.

A housing system includes a rectangular chassis having a front surface, a back surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, and two outer side surfaces. Two front comer feet are adhered to front comers of the rectangular chassis. Two back comer feet are adhered to back corners the rectangular chassis.

Corner support members for housing system

An electronic system comprising a plurality of circuit boards and/or drives mounted in a stack within a housing. Interconnectors are provided between the circuit boards and/or drives to connect the circuit boards and/or drives and to provide vertical separations between the circuit boards and/or drives. A cooling fan is slidably disposed adjacent a wall of the housing to create a horizontal stream of air that flows through the separations and over the top and bottom surfaces of the circuit boards and/or the drives. This provides for convective cooling in an efficient manner, while minimizing the profile of the electronic system.
