Impairments [Abstract]
Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block]	4. Impairments The Company evaluates long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of 2017, an updated strategic plan was completed for Audio segment product lines. The updated strategic plan identified a decline of future demand for a specific product line, which indicated projected future cash flows may not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the associated unpatented technologies and property, plant, and equipment assets. The utilization of undiscounted future cash flows was used to determine recoverability of the long-lived assets. The fair value of the intangibles was determined through the use of discounted cash flows, and the fair value of fixed assets was determined using their liquidation value. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that the fair values of these long-lived assets were less than their respective carrying values as of June 30, 2017. The Company recorded total impairment charges of $21.3 million, of which $5.1 million was related to fixed assets and $16.2 million was related to intangible assets. The Company recorded $1.4 million of the charges within Impairment charges in Gross profit and recorded $19.9 million within the Impairment charges line item in Operating expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
