Echo Input – Bring Alexa to your own speaker

Echo Input adds Alexa to an external speaker and connects via 3.5 mm audio cable or Bluetooth.

Can hear you from across the room—even when music is playing. Echo Input is also designed around your privacy. You can press the microphone off button to electronically disconnect the microphones.

Stream Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, and more on your favorite speaker.

Just ask Alexa to play a song, read the news, or check the weather and traffic.

Set alarms and timers, add items to your to-do list, and control compatible smart home devices.

Calling and Drop In via Bluetooth is currently not supported.

Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new skills like tracking fitness, playing games, and more.

Slim, low-profile design fits almost anywhere.

Speaker required

Echo Input requires an external speaker and connects via the included 3.5 mm audio cable or Bluetooth. It does not pair to Wi-Fi speakers. We recommend pairing with certified Bluetooth Speakers.

 

Speaker power-saving mode and volume

Speakers connected by 3.5 mm audio cable may power off if not used for an extended period of time. When possible, we recommend turning off the speaker’s power-saving mode by following the manufacturer’s instructions.

When connecting Echo Input to your speaker, first increase the volume of the speaker. Then say, “Alexa, volume 7” or “Alexa, volume up”.
