But today, we bring you in Engadget the analysis of the latest and most ambitious advanced speaker of the family, the Amazon Echo Studio.

If you’ve lost count of how many Amazon Echo speakers you can buy, you’re not alone.

Design

The Echo Studio smart speaker brings a cylinder-shaped design, like the third-generation Echo or the Echo Plus.

Although in this case with a larger size: 20.6 cm high x 17.5 cm diameter (8.1 x 6.8 inches).

It has a peculiar opening at the bottom, whose objective is to expand the bass’s sound.

Right down, there is the woofer. It is covered in acoustic fabric, like many other speakers, in black.

It is modern and discreet without looking like a luxury product. Taking it, it feels robust, as it weighs quite a lot: 3.5 kilos (7.7 pounds).

Before installing it, it is essential to know that you must place the speaker at least 15 cm (6 inches) away from a wall since it adapts the sound to the surrounding environment automatically.
Once you’ve chosen the location, you download the Amazon Alexa app.
Then, you plug it into the electrical current with the included cable (the blue light ring will illuminate) and follow the instructions that Alexa gives you to configure it from the app.
That easy. If you already have Alexa, give it to add a device. Choose this model, and it will guide you (first, it connects to Wi-Fi).
For all this (and its power), the device is designed to be placed in places of a specific size. Such as the living room.

Echo Studio works with five speakers: three midranges, a tweeter (for treble) and a woofer (for bass).

They all steer the sound in a different direction to provide immersive audio.

And it supports Dolby Atmos, so it is ready to create the surround effect when you connect it to other devices.

With this equipment and a nominal power of 330 W, the sound does not disappoint even when you put it at maximum.

Although at this level, it feels less clean, especially when you are next to the speaker.

However, you do not expect the best sound on the market for its price of 199.99 euros (in the United States, it is worth 199.99 dollars).

Of course, it is possible to pair it with other Amazon Echos and mount a speaker system in multiple rooms.
When paired with an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K device, you get multi-channel audio playback with support for Dolby Atmos surround sound.
The intelligent speaker communicates with appliances that support the Zigbee protocol to control them with your voice by asking Alexa.

Amazon Echo Studio is the best-sounding smart speaker you’ll find in the Echo range.
It will be more than enough for users looking for good audio quality without reaching the premium level.
It is not the most elegant, its appearance has not dazzled us, but its careful and discreet aesthetic adapts to almost any decorative style.
Simultaneously, like any other smart speaker, it allows you to squeeze a tremendous amount of interaction.
Alexa offers by voice and with the mobile phone through the application. It is a device with an excellent relation between quality and price.
