Abstract
Aspects of the subject technology relate to electronic devices having speakers. An electronic device may operate a pair of speakers to in a way that mitigates electromagnetic interference with a display of the electronic device. For example, the speakers may be operated acoustically and mechanically in phase, and electrically out of phase, to mitigates interference with a display of the electronic device.
Claims22
An electronic device, comprising:
- a first speaker having a first magnet and a first voice coil, and configured to output audio in a first direction;
- and
- a second speaker having a second magnet and a second voice coil, and configured to output audio in the first direction,
- wherein the first magnet has a first polar orientation that is substantially opposite to a second polar orientation of the second magnet.

A method, comprising:
- operating a first speaker that is oriented in a first direction;
- and
- operating a second speaker, oriented in the first direction, acoustically and mechanically in phase with the first speaker, and electrically out of phase with the first speaker.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display comprising a plurality of data lines;
- a first speaker disposed adjacent to the plurality of data lines;
- a second speaker disposed adjacent to the plurality of data lines;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to operate the second speaker electrically and mechanically in phase with the first speaker, and electrically out of phase with the first speaker.
