摘要

A speaker 102 comprises a housing 104 that defines an internal cavity 108 within which a sound generating member 110 is disposed. The housing 104 includes a front panel 116 and a rear panel 118 and defines a base 120. The rear panel 118 includes a kickstand 144 configured to extend from the rear panel 118 in a deployed position and, together with the base 120, to support the housing 104 in an upright orientation. The speaker 102 comprises an electrical connector 156 disposed between the kickstand 144 and the rear panel 118. The electrical connector 156 is configured for coupling an external source of electrical power to the speaker 102. Front panels 116 of first and second speakers 102, 104 define front surfaces configured to facilitate positioning of the first speaker 102 and the second speaker 104 in a face-to-face mating arrangement. Each of the first speaker 102 and the second speaker 104 comprises magnetic elements 130 disposed for retaining the first speaker 102 and the second speaker 104 in the face-to-face mating arrangement.
