1. An electronic device comprising:
- a processing portion configurable to receive and process audio input signals in a manner so as to produce audio output signals, the audio input signals being associable with audio characteristics and a plurality of frequency ranges; and
a plurality of audio output portions coupled to the processing portion such that audio output signals are communicable to the audio output portions from the processing portion for output,wherein the electronic device is positionable in at least a first orientation and a second orientation, and based on change in orientation to the second orientation when the electronic device is initially positioned in the first orientation, the processing portion is further configurable to at least one of;
one of vary and control at least a portion of the audio characteristics of the audio input signals; and
one of vary and control output of audio output signals,wherein audio characteristics of the audio input signals relate to at least one of frequency characteristics, phase characteristics, amplitude and channel characteristics, andwherein output of audio output signals is one of controlled and varied in the context of time delay in the output of at least a portion of the audio output portions.
