Abstract
A speaker apparatus comprising a speaker housing member and a supporting bracket that can be easily installed on a spa or any other desired supporting surface. The speaker apparatus is configured such that the speaker housing member can move between a plurality of different positions relative to the supporting bracket, including at least an upward position and a downward position. In some embodiments, the speaker apparatus has a visual display that changes the orientation of the information so that the information is displayed in an upright orientation regardless of the orientation of the speaker housing member. In some embodiments, the speaker apparatus can comprise controls to control the speaker apparatus, audio signal source, spa, or other components.
