Abstract
An acoustic porting arrangement is provided that uses sound pressure signal ports () to enhance speaker () and microphone cartridge () performance when mounting the speaker () on a moveable component, such as a flip part () of a flip-type cellular phone (). A speaker acoustic path () is incorporated into the moveable component () to enhance the acoustic performance of an acoustic transducer (). A microphone acoustic pathway () is also created through the moveable component () that delivers sound pressure energy to a microphone () that is mounted on a base () when the moveable component () is in its closed position and covering the microphone (). Some embodiments reuse a surface acoustic port () for both paths.
