Amazon Echo Input | Add Alexa to any speaker
Echo Input is a small, circular, internet-connected device that looks like a speakerless Echo Dot. It connects wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers. It's an option if you have powered speakers, a stereo receiver, or a home theater receiver with a 3.5mm input or an RCA jack. (You may need a 3.5mm to RCA cable converter.)
Once you've connected your Echo Input, you can use Alexa voice commands to play music, ask questions, set alarms and timers, add items to a to-do list or shopping list, control compatible smart home devices, and check news, weather, and traffic. It can also communicate with and control other Echo and Fire TV devices.
The Echo input has no volume controls. Instead, use Alexa to control the volume in combination with the volume controls on your speaker system.
