The sub-frames can be made of plastic, metal, or a mixture / composite of different materials. The sub-frames can also be designed to dampen mechanical impact, reducing stress on the housing itself. The sub-frames can also be constructed to increase the resistance of the construction site audio playback device to environmental influences, e.g., the ingress of dust, objects, or water.This makes it possible to provide, in particular, a functional frame unit that is advantageously easy to assemble.
[0014] It is further proposed that the functional element be arranged on a first sub-frame of the frame of the functional frame unit and that the rigid connecting element be arranged on a second sub-frame of the frame of the functional frame unit.

Alternatively, the protective element could also be designed as a shock-absorbing element that is arranged on the frame. Advantageously, the term “integral” should also be understood to mean “one-piece”."One-piece" is understood to mean, in particular, molded in one piece. This one piece is preferably produced from a single blank, a mass, and / or a cast, particularly preferably using an injection molding process, in particular a single- and / or multi-component injection molding process. This makes it possible to provide, in particular, advantageous protection for the construction site audio playback device.
