There is provided a sound reproduction apparatus including a sub-woofer unit and a plurality of wireless speakers. A method of speaker charging and speaker calibration using the sound reproduction apparatus is also provided. The sub-woofer unit may be configured to perform tasks of both charging a power source in each of the plurality of wireless speakers; and calibrating speaker identity for each of the plurality of wireless speakers. It is advantageous that both of the tasks are performed when the plurality of wireless speakers is coupled to the sub-woofer unit. The speaker identity may include, for example, left front, right front, left rear, right rear, and center.

Sound reproduction apparatus and a method for speaker charging/calibration employed in said apparatus

There is provided an apparatus and methods for optimizing playback of media content from a digital handheld device. The apparatus may be functionally connected to the digital handheld device, and for allowing placement of the digital handheld device at a receptor. Correspondingly, the methods for optimizing playback of media content from a digital handheld device preferably entail a usage of the aforementioned apparatus.

Methods and an apparatus for optimizing playback of media content from a digital handheld device

A portable speaker having at least one driver mounted in a first enclosure and a second enclosure separate from the first enclosure and having pivotally mounted to it the first enclosure. The second enclosure has all electronics, controls and a battery compartment. The first enclosure is moveable relative to the second enclosure between a first configuration and a second configuration, the at least one driver being protected by the second enclosure when the first enclosure is in the first configuration.

Portable speakers

A speaker comprises an enclosure with at least one wall; and an acoustic driver mounted in an interior of the enclosure and being attached to a front wall of the enclosure. An acoustic extension is mounted to the enclosure and is external of the enclosure. The acoustic extension is operatively connected to the interior of the enclosure; and comprises one of: a bass reflex port, a tuned port, a passive radiator, and a concentric loading.

Speaker with externally mounted acoustic extension

A satellite speaker system includes a side firing low mid driver mounted in a sub-enclosure which is vented into a second sub-enclosure through an acoustic resistance vent and to a third sub-enclosure through a variable aperture second vent. The vents further serve as pivots to allow the side-firing speaker to be rotated through a predetermined range, simultaneously varying the aperture of the second vent. The pivots are isolated by o-rings to provide an airtight seal to the sub-enclosures, as well as to provide vibration control. Third, fourth and fifth resistively damped vents allow the first and second sub-enclosure to establish acoustic communication with the environment. The front firing driver/s that reproduces the mid and high frequencies are mounted in a fourth sub-enclosure.

Multimedia speaker product

A portable speaker system for use with a laptop computer is configured for attachment to a screen of a laptop computer or alternatively for a free standing configuration. The speaker system includes an acoustic chamber for containment of the sound reproducing mechanism, a second chamber, and a damped hinge mechanism for movable connecting the acoustic chamber and the second chamber.
