Abstract

Communication terminal (70), comprising a first terminal member (71) and a second terminal member (72), a hinge device (73) connecting said terminal members by which the terminal can be folded and unfolded, and a speaker (74). Said hinge device defines a cavity (75) to which said speaker is acoustically connected. The speaker may be placed inside said cavity, thereby optimising low the bass performance for said speaker. Alternatively, the speaker is coupled to the cavity and resonates into it.
