Abstract
A drainage system includes an inlet defined between a housing of a device and a first edge of a cover coupled to the housing. The cover protects an audio assembly disposed beneath the cover from an environment external to the device. The drainage system includes an outlet defined between the housing and a second edge of the cover and a drainage channel extending from the inlet to the outlet between an interior surface of the cover and an exterior surface of the housing. The drainage channel is configured to drain moisture from the audio assembly, and the inlet is configured to allow ambient audio to pass through the drainage channel to the audio assembly at a predetermined time period after the image capture device emerges from a liquid.
