1. An audio apparatus for communicating with a user device, the audio apparatus comprising:
a sensor configured to sense a user input and to generate an input signal representing the user input; and
electronic circuitry operable to receive the input signal, wherein the electronic circuitry is configured to:
process the input signal, and
generate a control signal for controlling at least one switch based on the input signal,
wherein the input signal is processed by configuring the electronic circuitry to:
identify a characteristic of the input signal,
compare the characteristic of the input signal to a plurality of characteristic ranges, wherein each of the plurality of characteristic ranges corresponds to a different switch from among plural switches, and
if the characteristic is determined to be within one of the plurality of characteristic ranges, generate the control signal for controlling the switch corresponding to the determined characteristic range.
