Motion Control 

ψ

Motion Control

ω

is one of the most important features of 

Beagle

speaker. As Beagle speaker is an easy-of-use, easy-bringing, small 

power handling USB speaker, we are not intended to put complicated 

control functions in it. 

There is only ON/OFF function (so call 

MUTE function in Digital Audio design) was 

built-in the speaker for users. To activate the 

function, simply wave your hand, finger or 

any object near top of the speaker, the 

playing sound will stop or play immediately. 

There is an optical sensor on top of 

Beagle

as indicated by red circle, once it is shielding, 

Beagle

 speaker will 

toggle ON/OFF accordingly. 

By our SAP (Simple As Possible) design concept, all the other audio 

control should be made by computer because 

Beagle

 speaker is 

originally designed for laptop computer and it is working close to your 

computer. It will be a waste to have double audio control system in 

the environment and computer software can always provide updates 

control functions at all time.

Travel With Beagle Speaker 

A dedicated 

Beagle

 speaker carry bag was bundled 

in the package that provides a safe way to let 

Beagle

speaker travel with laptop computer with ease. 

NOTE

Optical sensor switch is designed to operate effective within 5 
~ 10mm.
