Various aspects include portable speakers and methods of controlling such speakers. In a particular implementation, a portable loudspeaker includes: a controller configured to control an audio output according to at least two distinct equalization profiles and in at least two distinct physical orientations, where the controller is configured to switch between two of the distinct equalization profiles in response to detecting a change in physical orientation of the portable loudspeaker between two of the distinct physical orientations, where the switch between the two distinct equalization profiles is either: a) modified by a hysteresis factor, or b) smoothed according to a predefined pattern.

An omni-directional acoustic deflector includes an acoustically reflective body having a substantially conical outer surface, and an inner surface opposite the outer surface. The inner surface defines a region that is configured to be coupled to a first electronic component such that heat is transferred from the first electronic component to the outer surface of the acoustically reflective body.
