Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to a table that is constructed to receive an audio system and an audio system that is intended to be incorporated within a tabletop. The audio system comprises a housing and an audio column having a speaker wherein the audio column is capable of being retracted into the housing such that the top wall of the audio column is substantially co-planar with a tabletop. Additionally, the present invention includes a method of conducting business meetings including releasing a mechanism causing the audio column to extend out of the housing; allowing sound to travel through the speaker during the meeting and to be heard by participants in a room where the tabletop is located; and closing the audio column such that the audio column is received within the housing and the top of the audio column is at least substantially co-planar with the tabletop.
