Abstract
A speaker assembly is provided with a housing, at least one transducer supported by the housing, and a controller. The controller is adapted to receive a first audio signal from a first audio source and a second audio signal from a second audio source. The controller is programmed to prioritize the first audio signal and the second audio signal based on a location of the housing relative to a charging station, and to provide the highest priority audio signal to the at least one transducer.
