Classification: CPC G  H | IPC F  G  H

Claim 6:
7. An electronic device, comprising:
an enclosure having a longitudinal axis, the enclosure having a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape along the longitudinal axis, the enclosure defining an opening having a first diameter and allowing passage of an acoustic output;
the enclosure defining an exterior surface and an internal volume;
a printed circuit board (PCB) defining a major PCB plane and having an electronic component mounted on the PCB;
a speaker having a second diameter substantially the same as the first diameter, the speaker disposed in the internal volume to produce the acoustic output, the speaker defining a major speaker plane disposed parallel to longitudinal axis and positioned directly adjacent to the electronic component and directly adjacent to the opening, the speaker substantially occluding the opening; and
a heat sink contacting the PCB and including a major dimension extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the enclosure, the heat sink spanning more than halfway across a width of the PCB.
