Abstract

A passive cooling device is disclosed for use with a speaker integrated electronic device. Also disclosed is a method of using the device for generating passive cooling and increasing the sound output by the speaker integrated electronic device when outputting low frequency sound. The electronic device has an internal housing in which the speaker is located with a diaphragm extending through a void in the housing wall. The internal housing also has an air flow channel in fluid communication with the housing interior and an outlet adjacent an electronic component. Movement of the diaphragm directs moving air through the channel to reduce the operating temperature of the electronic component during speaker activation, while air movement in the internal housing increase the sound output by the speaker integrated electronic device.
