■ About Echo
Amazon Echo - Hands-free, always ready, always responsive
The Echo series are hands-free, voice-controlled smart speakers. You can ask for information, music, news, weather, and more from anywhere in the room, and Alexa will immediately respond.
The Echo series uses remote speech recognition technology and an array of seven microphones to clearly pick up speech coming from different angles. Advanced beamforming technology is used to combine the signals from each microphone, suppressing noise, echoes, and even speech other than instructions. The Echo’s advanced audio design features Dolby processing, which combines a dedicated tweeter and a 2.5” down-firing woofer to deliver crisp vocals and dynamic bass response throughout the room.
