Abstract
A speaker system is provided with a docking station and a removable housing that is mounted to the docking station. The speaker system also includes a receiver, a transducer and a processor that are supported by the removable housing. The receiver receives an audio signal from a mobile media device. The processor communicates with the receiver and is programmed to determine a location of the removable housing relative to the docking station, separate the audio signal into channels and provide at least one channel to the transducer based on the location.
