Abstract
Systems and techniques to wirelessly provide audio in a spa. A system includes an audio system coupled with a spa, and a wireless communication system communicably coupled with the audio system and with a remote audio source, wherein the wireless communication system provides audio signals from the remote audio source to the audio system, and a volume of the audio system is controlled locally at the spa without affecting a volume indication at the remote audio source.
Claims15
A system comprising:
- an audio system coupled with a spa, wherein the audio system comprises speakers and a remote control, and wherein the speakers comprise:
- a subwoofer mounted inside an enclosure within the spa between a spa shell and an exterior surface of the spa, the subwoofer to provide low-frequency, non-directional sound, and
- planar speakers movably coupled with the spa to provide omni-directional sound, each of the movably coupled planar speakers having a plurality of available playing positions including at least one position that maintains a low profile for the spa;
- and
- a wireless communication system communicably coupled with the audio system and with a remote audio source, wherein the wireless communication system provides audio signals from the remote audio source to the audio system, and a volume of the audio system is controlled locally at the spa without affecting a volume indication at the remote audio source.

A system comprising:
- an audio system coupled with a spa, the audio system including a speaker coupled with an exterior surface of the spa in proximity to a location where a spa cover resides when on the spa, the speaker being useable in connection with the spa cover without interference between the spa cover and the speaker;
- and
- a wireless communication system coupled with the audio system and with a remote audio source, wherein the wireless communication system provides audio signals from the remote audio source to the audio system;
- wherein the speaker comprises a planar speaker movably coupled with the exterior surface such that the planar speaker is movable between two or more playing positions without leaving a planar area proximate to the spa.
