Abstract

An audio device incorporates a plurality of acoustic drivers and employs them to form either a first acoustic interference array generating destructive interference in a first direction from the plurality of acoustic drivers or a second acoustic interference array generating destructive interference in a second direction from the plurality of acoustic drivers in response to the orientation of the casing of the audio device relative to the direction of the force of gravity.
