Abstract:
1. A hand-held electronic device configured to reproduce stereo sound in both a first and a second orientation of the device perpendicular to each other, comprising a first loudspeaker and a second loudspeaker, wherein the first and second loudspeakers are left and right loudspeakers, respectively, relative to each other in the first orientation of the device, and the first and second loudspeakers are spaced from each other in two directions perpendicular to each other such that one of the directions always lies in a horizontal plane when the device is in its first or second orientation, and the device further comprising a control unit configured to change a digital processing algorithm used to reproduce the stereo sound to compensate for a difference in spacing between the first and second loudspeakers in the two directions, when the device is rotated between the first and second orientations.
