     (j) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 4  thereof, a new speaker coupling device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 4 , the speaker synchronizing system  10  generally comprises a housing  12  that has a front wall  14 , a back wall  16  and a perimeter wall  18  that is attached to and extends between the front wall  14  and the back wall  16 . A plurality of speakers  20  is included wherein each of the speakers  20  is positioned remote of the housing  12 . An extrinsic electronic device  22  is positioned remote of the housing  12 . The extrinsic electronic device  22  has an audio file stored thereon. The extrinsic electronic device includes but is not limited to cellular phones, electronic music playing devices and other electronic devices capable of storing audio files thereon. 
     A communication unit  24  is mounted in the housing  12 . The communication unit  24  is in electronic communication with each of the speakers  20  and the extrinsic electronic device  22 . The communication unit  24  sends a signal that is discretely assigned to each of the speakers  20 . The communication unit  24  comprises a processor  26 . A transceiver  28  is electrically coupled to the processor  26 . The transceiver  28  has a receiving channel  30  and a plurality of discrete transmission channels  32 . Each of the speakers  20  is selectively assigned and wirelessly coupled to an associated one of the discrete transmission channels  32  when the associated discrete transmission channel  32  is actuated. The extrinsic electronic device  22  is wirelessly coupled to the receiving channel  30  when the receiving channel  30  is actuated. The extrinsic electronic device  22  selectively sends the audio file to the transceiver  28  when the receiving channel  30  is actuated. The transceiver  28  transmits the audio file from the extrinsic electronic device  22  to each of the speakers  20  when the associated discrete transmission channel  32  is actuated. Each of the discrete transmission channels  32  may connect to the associated speaker  20  through a Bluetooth connection, but may also comprise other wireless connection means. 
     An extrinsic electronic device button  34  is electrically coupled to the processor  26 . The extrinsic electronic device button  34  is associated with the receiving channel  30  and is pressed to turn the receiving channel  30  on or off. The receiving channel  30  is in electronic communication with the extrinsic electronic device  22  when the receiving channel  30  is turned on. 
     A plurality of pairing buttons  36  each is electrically coupled to the processor  26 . Each of the pairing buttons  36  actuates an associated one of the discrete transmission channels  32  wherein each of the pairing buttons  36  turns the associated one of the discrete transmission channels  32  on or off. 
     An extrinsic electronic device indicator light  38  is electrically coupled to the processor  26  and is actuated on when the receiving channel  30  is turned on. The extrinsic electronic device indicator light  38  is positioned adjacent to the extrinsic electronic device button  34 . A plurality of speaker indicator lights  40  is included wherein each of the speaker indicator lights  40  is electrically coupled to the processor  26 . Each of the speaker indicator lights  40  is assigned to a corresponding one of the discrete transmission channels  32  such that each of the speaker indicator lights  40  is turned on when the corresponding discrete transmission channels  32  is turned on. Each of the speaker indicator lights  40  is positioned adjacent to a corresponding one of the pairing button  36 . 
     A power switch  42  is actuated to power the processor  26  on or off. A power supply  44  is coupled to the housing  12  and is electrically coupled to the processor  26 . The power supply  26  comprises at least one rechargeable battery. A power switch indicator light  46  is mounted to the housing  12  and is electrically coupled to the processor  26 . The power switch indicator light  46  is turned on when the processor  26  is turned on. A contact  48  is positioned on the housing  12  and is electrically coupled to the power supply  44 . 
     A charger  50  is positioned remote of the housing  12 . The charger  50  comprises a cord  52  that has a first end  54  and a second end  56 . A first plug  58  is electrically coupled to the first end  54  of the cord  52  and is selectively inserted into the contact  48 . A second plug  60  is electrically coupled to the second end  56  wherein the second plug is electrically coupleable to a power source. A power supply indicator light  62  is mounted on the housing  12  and is electrically coupled to the processor  26 . The power supply indicator light turns  62  on when the charger  50  is electrically coupled to the contact  48  and the power source. 
     In use, an extrinsic electronic device  22  is electrically coupled to the communication unit  24  when the extrinsic electronic device button  34  is pressed to open the receiving channel  30 . Each of the speakers  20  are associated and connected to one of the discrete transmission channels  32 , when the associated one of the pairings buttons  36  is pressed to actuate the associated discrete transmission channel  32 . When the extrinsic electronic device  22  is actuated to play the audio file, the transceiver  28  receives the audio file and transmits the audio file through each of the connected speakers  20 . 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
