A Great Solution for Multi-Room Audio Needs
The Echo Studio speakers have been the perfect solution for our church’s multi-room A/V needs. Recently, the church moved our three ViewSonic projectors from rolling carts to ceiling mounts and needed something other than a wired connection (which was either too expensive to do well due to wiring installation costs, or too feeble to be useful when done with more affordable speakers) or Bluetooth speakers, which were too complicated, inconsistent, “buggy,” and not able to be integrated as a single functional unit.The solution? Installing an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K to make each of the ViewSonic projectors “Smart,” naming each Fire TV Stick by location, connecting the Fire TV Stick 4K to the WiFi network, and connecting the Echo Studio speakers to the Fire TV Stick in each room. Setup is dead simple: use the Alexa App to set up the speakers (you may need to run a software update… Do It as there are significant software improvements) and connect the Echo Studio speakers to the WiFi network (the App walks you through the steps). Then, use the Fire TV Stick remote to set up Home Theater mode in the Fire TV Stick options. Ensure all components are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, or this won’t work.The Echo Studio speakers connect to the Fire TV Stick via the Home Theater Mode setup. The software to set up Home Theater was slow to roll out, coming after the speakers had been on the market for several weeks, but as of mid-December, the software has been updated and improved, and the speakers pair seamlessly and sound fantastic, with rich, immersive, spatial audio and Dolby Atmos.An added benefit is that the Fire TV Stick and Echo Speakers connect as a single group and can be controlled by the Fire TV Stick remote. The only downside, which is entirely manageable and a more-than-fair tradeoff, is that the Home Theater Mode takes a moment to connect when the system is turned on each time. A message will appear on the screen, “Home Theater Being Optimized.” It takes some time, but it is worth it.The projectors can now be used to show streaming video via Apps (YouTube TV, Disney+, Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+, Netflix, Spotify, and any other available App) and to mirror laptop computers for applications like PowerPoint presentations. Amazon Fire TV Stick does not support Apple AirPlay (thanks, Amazon), but there are applications you can download to enable Apple mirroring. Mirroring from a PC is enabled through the Fire TV Stick settings.These speakers are expensive, but they were the best solution we found for our A/V needs and work perfectly, delivering room-filling sound and an actual theater-quality audio experience.

The sound quality beats a Bose system.
I bought one to use as my computers audio, nice, linked up with my computer easily and the sound was much better than the bar I had been using. Bar is now somewhere in or near the dump. I was so impressed with the sound quality I decided to try one in the Living Room. I had a top of the line Bose sound bar and Subwoofer for this test. The sound out of this unit and the ease of hookup convinced me this was worth further investigation. I bought the additional unit and the Subwoofer to create the theater system I wanted for my Living Room. The additional speaker came and I blended it into my system and disabled the Bose system. I was going to have to wait for the Subwoofer as it’s delivery was going to be later. With just the two speakers the bass seemed a bit heavy, almost overwhelming as it shook items in the entertainment cabinet to the point that they were interfering with the sound quality. The Subwoofer came a day or two later and I than blended that into the system. Nice, the overactive bass mellowed out and the theater system in my living room sounds sooooo good. I was never a big fan of the Bose systems, overpriced and acoustically sub par but you have to work within the space allowed. This system is small but robust. Clear highs, solid bass and a moderate ease of connection if you’re used to working with Alexa. I’ve messed around with the AI portion of it and find it OK. It wont answer all of your questions, do your taxes or wash the dishes but it does seem to be learning. As I converse with it, it seems to gain more perspective on who I am, what I want and what I need. At this point it is an interesting toy to play with once in a while. I would have given it a five star review but five stars are reserved for perfection and perfection is in my mind is unattainable so it gets a well worthy four stars.

Great sound, have it paired up in stereo

El audio es muy bueno, si se escucha la diferencia cuando se tiene solo el Echo Dot, Echo Spot y Echo Sopot a cuando ya se pone en conjunto con el Echo Studio; el costo es muy elevado por lo que hay mejores sistemas de audio hasta de 5.1 canales que valen mucho mejor la pena y al mismo costo. En cuestión de Alexa+ es una porquería, es más lenta cuando se le solicita hacer alguna función o solo el apagado de alguna luz y habla mucho mas, lo que lo hace más nefasto.
