description Amazon Echo Input Overview
Released in 2018, the Amazon Echo Input is a compact, disc-shaped smart home device designed to add Alexa voice assistant capabilities to standard external speakers.

The device includes a far-field microphone array to capture voice commands for playing music, controlling smart home devices, or setting timers. It is intended for users who want to upgrade existing high-fidelity audio setups with voice control functionality.
