Abstract: A portable audio input/output device may include one or more openings that extend through a cover of the device and allow acoustic signals outside a housing of the device to reach a microphone disposed within the housing. The opening(s) may be illuminated by a light guide disposed within the housing, which scatters light emitted from lights disposed within the housing. In some instances, a hole may pass through a printed circuit board to allow acoustic signals to be received by the microphone disposed below the printed circuit board. An input/output (I/O) interface module with multiple buttons and inputs may be installed in the hole. The multiple buttons and I/O ports of the I/O interface module may be aligned along an axis vertical relative to the housing and centered with respect to each other.
Abstract translation: 便携式音频输入/输出设备可以包括延伸穿过设备的盖子的一个或多个开口,并允许设备外壳外的声学信号到达设置在壳体内的麦克风。 开口可以由设置在壳体内的光导体照射,其散射从设置在壳体内的灯发射的光。 在一些情况下,孔可以穿过印刷电路板,以允许由布置在印刷电路板下方的麦克风接收声学信号。 可以在孔中安装具有多个按钮和输入的输入/输出(I / O)接口模块。 I / O接口模块的多个按钮和I / O端口可以沿着相对于壳体垂直的轴线对齐并且相对于彼此居中。

Abstract: A portable audio input/output device may include an assembly enclosure that contains electrical and mechanical components of the device. A substantially cylindrical frame may encircle the assembly enclosure and may be surrounded by a tube of seamless material. A top end of the tube of seamless material may fold over a top end of the substantially cylindrical frame, and a bottom end of the tube of seamless material may fold over a bottom end of the substantially cylindrical frame. A cover assembly may couple to a top end of the assembly enclosure and secure the top end of the seamless fabric. A charging foot may be coupled to a bottom end of the assembly enclosure and secure the bottom end of the seamless fabric.
