Abstract: A networked speaker device includes a sealed housing and an Ethernet port in the housing for receiving power and audio data from a network router via an Ethernet cable. A power supply subsystem in the housing manages the power received at the Ethernet port. A microprocessor subsystem, powered by the power supply subsystem, receives and processes the audio data to generate output audio signals. A digital audio amplifier. powered by the power supply subsystem, amplifies the output audio signals to drive a speaker driver to render an audio output. The device also includes at least one heater resistor in the housing powered by the power supply subsystem. The at least one heater resistor is controlled by the microprocessor subsystem to automatically heat the interior of the housing when temperature inside the housing falls below a given temperature.

Abstract: A speaker unit (1) with a speaker frame (9) and two membranes (7, 8) arranged in the speaker frame (9). A first membrane (7) radiates in a major acoustic radiation direction (A) substantially perpendicular to a major plane (9a) of the speaker unit (1). A second membrane (8) has a secondary acoustic radiation direction (B) different from the major acoustic radiation direction (A). Two drive units (2) are positioned within the speaker frame (9), attached to the two membranes (7, 8), and positioned coaxial to each other at the same height in the speaker frame (9). An acoustic duct (6) provides for a closed acoustic channel from the second membrane (8) in the secondary acoustic radiation direction (B) to a secondary surface (6a) of the speaker unit (1) in a same plane as the major plane (9a) of the speaker unit (1).

Abstract: An electronic furniture assembly of the present invention includes: (i) a furniture assembly comprising: (A) a base (e.g., a seat portion), (B) at least one transverse or upright member (e.g., a side, armrest or backrest), and (ii) a speaker system mounted within one or more portions of the furniture assembly. A method of tuning a speaker of an audio-enhanced furniture system includes presenting a user with predetermined tuning profiles corresponding to a plurality of configuration footprint shapes in which the furniture assembly can be assembled and in response to a user selection of a given configuration footprint shape, tuning the speaker system according to the tuning profile selected by the user.
