SPEAKER COUPLING AND BRACKET

摘要

This application relates to an audio assembly that includes both a speaker assembly and a microphone. By mounting both the microphone and the speaker assembly to a unitary audio bracket, space savings can be achieved over a configuration that relies on separate brackets for each component. In some embodiments, an acoustic mesh can be embedded within the audio bracket and extending across an audio channel defined by the audio bracket. The microphone can be aligned with an opening in the audio bracket by an alignment clip that is coupled with the microphone. The alignment clip helps to achieve alignment of a sensor opening of the microphone with a channel defined by the audio bracket.

主权项

1. An audio bracket suitable for conducting audio between an audio component and an audio opening defined by a housing of a portable media device, the audio bracket comprising:
a polymeric substrate defining an audio channel therethrough; and an acoustic mesh embedded within the polymeric substrate and extending across the audio channel, the acoustic mesh preventing particulates from passing through the audio channel.
