    摘要: An example playback device may include at least one microphone and a capacitive control disposed on a housing of the playback device. The playback device may be configured to receive information that causes the playback device to operate in a first state where the playback device is configured to (i) capture audio data via the at least one microphone and (ii) perform voice assistant wake word detection on audio data captured by the at least one microphone. While the playback device is operating in the first state, it may detect a selection of the capacitive control and based on the selection, transition to operate in a second state where the playback device is (i) configured to capture audio data via the at least one microphone and (ii) not configured to perform voice assistant wake word detection on audio data captured by the at least one microphone.

    摘要: An adjustable mounting assembly includes (i) a housing with front and rear collars joined by a threaded engagement, the rear collar including teeth oriented toward the front collar, (ii) a front body part extending outwardly through an opening in the front collar, (iii) an intermediate body part coupled to the front body part, and (iv) a rear body part coupled to the intermediate body part, the rear body part including teeth oriented toward the rear collar, the mounting assembly adjustable such that (a) when the threaded engagement is tightened, the teeth of the rear body part are positioned in an interlocking engagement with the teeth of the rear collar, preventing rotation about a pitch axis of the mounting assembly, and (b) when the threaded engagement is loosened, the teeth of the rear body part are disengageable from the teeth of the rear collar, allowing rotation about the pitch axis.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to playback devices having a non-flat surface and comprising a flexible electronic assembly conforming to that surface. The flexible electronic assembly may include (i) a flexible substrate having a first portion and a second portion, (ii) an array of capacitive touch sensor electrodes arranged on the first portion, and (iii) a plurality of conductors that are electrically coupled to the array of capacitive touch sensor electrodes and that extend onto the second portion. The first portion may include a plurality of cutouts. Each cutout of a first subset of the plurality of cutouts may be positioned between a respective set of two or more electrodes in the array of capacitive touch sensor electrodes. Each cutout of a second subset of the plurality of cutouts may be configured to reduce a wrinkling of the first portion when conforming the first portion to the non-flat surface.
