Abstract: A voice controlled assistant has two speakers and stereo component configured to produce high quality stereo sound. The stereo component generates a first channel signal and a second channel signal used to produce stereo sound. The first channel signal is filtered to remove a range of frequencies, such as the low frequency range. The filtered first channel signal is passed to a first transducer associated with a first speaker to output a first part of the stereo sound. The second channel signal, together with the frequency portion removed from the first channel signal, are provided to a second transducer associated with a second speaker to output a second part of the stereo sound. In this manner, the two speaker arrangement plays stereo, without distortion, while preserving all frequencies in the signals.

Abstract: In an augmented reality environment, a speaker array is centrally located within an area to generate sound for the environment. The speaker array has a spherical or hemispherical body and speakers mounted about the body to emit sound in multiple directions. A controller is provided to select sets of speakers to form beams of sound in determined directions. The shaped beams are output to deliver a full audio experience in the environment from the fixed location speaker array.

Abstract: A voice controlled assistant has a housing to hold one or more microphones, one or more speakers, and various computing components. The housing has an elongated cylindrical body extending along a center axis between a base end and a top end. The microphone(s) are mounted in the top end and the speaker(s) are mounted proximal to the base end. The microphone(s) and speaker(s) are coaxially aligned along the center axis. The speaker(s) are oriented to output sound directionally toward the base end and opposite to the microphone(s) in the top end. The sound may then be redirected in a radial outward direction from the center axis at the base end so that the sound is output symmetric to, and equidistance from, the microphone(s).

Abstract translation: 语音控制助手具有用于容纳一个或多个麦克风，一个或多个扬声器以及各种计算组件的外壳。 壳体具有沿着中心轴线在基端和顶端之间延伸的细长圆柱体。 麦克风安装在顶端，扬声器安装在基端附近。 麦克风和扬声器沿着中心轴线同轴对准。 扬声器被定向成朝向基端部方向地输出声音并与顶端的麦克风相对地输出声音。 然后，声音可以在基端的中心轴线沿径向向外的方向被重定向，使得声音被输出对称于麦克风（与麦克风）等距。

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for content-adaptive presentation of content. A presentation profile for use in presentation of content is determined based at least in part on one or more determination characteristics. The determination characteristics may include metadata descriptive of the content, such as genre, style, artist, and so forth. The presentation profile may include equalizer settings, overall amplitude or volume, speaker configuration, and so forth.

Abstract: A system may magnetically attach to a surface, such as a ceiling, wall, table, or other surface within an environment. For instance, a ceiling within an environment may include a magnet and a housing of the system may comprise a ferromagnetic material. Therefore, the system may magnetically couple to the ceiling for use. The system may be configured to move across the surface while remaining magnetically coupled to the surface.
