The Echo Studio continues the design language of previous Echo speakers: it’s cylindrically shaped and covered in a charcoal gray fabric fabric. It is significantly larger than any previous Echo and dwarfs the Sonos One and Apple Home Pod. Its souped-up exterior helps drive 330W of power to two 5cm midrange drivers positioned on the left and right, a 25mm tweeter in the center and a 5cm midrange radiating upward. Bass is provided by a downward-firing 5.25-inch woofer. When you first turn on the Echo Studio, Alexa tunes the sound to the acoustics of your room by emitting a series of different test tones and responding to the readings. The whole process takes no more than a few seconds, but you’ll need to recalibrate the speaker if you move it. You can access sound control, manually change the volume, and pair another Echo Studio or manage and group all the other Echo speakers you own via the Alexa app for Android and iOS.
