It features microphones that capture sound, a speaker that delivers the amplified sound, and a battery drawer that also functions as an on/off switch. A push button on the device allows users to mute, change volume, and switch between different programs. The speaker is protected by a wax filter to prevent blockages and maintain sound quality.
