Abstract
A mobile communications device has an outer housing with a front wall in which an acoustic opening is formed. A tub is disposed inside the housing, wherein an acoustic opening is formed in a bottom of the tub and is positioned to be aligned with the acoustic opening in the outer housing. A receiver is disposed within the tub so that a sound port hole of the receiver faces an inside face of the tub and is aligned with the acoustic openings in the outer housing and in the tub. A plate piece is disposed between an inside face of the housing and the face of the receiver in which the sound port hole is formed. An acoustic opening is formed in the plate piece and positioned to be aligned with the sound port hole of the receiver and the acoustic openings in the outer housing and in the tub. Other embodiments are also described.

13. A method for manufacturing a mobile communications device, comprising:
-
a) producing a design of a tub, the tub to be disposed inside a housing of a mobile communications device so that a first acoustic opening, being a face-to-face hole that is formed in a bottom of the tub, is aligned with a second acoustic opening in the housing, wherein a receiver is to be disposed within the tub so that a sound port hole of the receiver is aligned with the first and second acoustic openings; b) producing a design of a plate piece, the plate piece to be disposed between the housing and the receiver so that a third acoustic opening, being a face-to-face hole that is formed in the plate piece, is aligned with the sound port hole of the receiver and the first and second acoustic openings; c) modifying the design of the plate piece to tune the experienced acoustic output from the receiver in the mobile device; d) making a plate piece in accordance with the modified design; e) making a tub in accordance with the tub design; and f) combining the made plate piece and the made tub into the housing of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
