  • Portable Loudspeaker
    Publication number: 20120250924
    Abstract: A portable loudspeaker includes an electro-acoustic driver which creates sound waves when operated and a housing having a front side to which the driver is secured. An internal part of the housing defines a first portion of an acoustic volume in which at least a portion of the driver is located. The sound waves from the driver are capable of acoustically energizing the acoustic volume. A unitary battery module is removably secured to the housing for providing electrical power to the driver. A part of the battery module defines a second portion of the acoustic volume.
