Configuration based on speaker orientation
First Claim
1. A playback device comprising:
- a network interface;
a processor; and
tangible, non-transitory computer-readable memory including instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the playback device to perform functions comprising;
receiving, via the network interface from a network device, a first indication that an orientation of the playback device is a first orientation;
in response to receiving the first indication, configuring the playback device to reproduce sound according to a first equalization setting;
pairing the playback device with an additional playback device;
receiving, via the network interface from the network device, a second indication that an orientation of the playback device is a second orientation; and
in response to receiving the second indication, configuring the playback device to reproduce sound according to (i) a second equalization setting and (ii) the pairing with the additional playback device.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus to shape sound based on a speaker orientation. An example playback device includes a network interface; a processor; and a memory including instructions stored therein. The instructions are executable by the processor to perform functions including: receiving, via the network interface from a network device, an indication that an orientation of the playback device is one of a first orientation or a second orientation; when the received indication is the first orientation, then configuring the playback device to reproduce sound according to a first equalization setting; and when the received indication is the second orientation, then configuring the playback device to reproduce sound according to a second equalization setting.
