I watched your video and I see that you can only pair the speakers with the fire/amazon devices, so I guess my question is what do I do to pair my Fire Cube with an audio source so all sound comes out the echo studios/sub via the cube?
IF AMAZON COULD LET US CONNECT NOT ONLY JUST THIS THREE SPEAKERS TO CREATE A HOME THEATRE SET UP IT WILL BE AWESOME!! I have 2 exho studio and it sound amazing but if we can connect other echo devices to create full home theatre surround sound it will ne awesome!
@@nola504boy1 - everywhere music will have to triggered through Alexa itself. How to have the Fire TV stick or cube included to create the surround sound?
For a normal sized space, this speaker set is amazing. Wonderful for the cinema experience at home, along with streaming music. Amazon really has done an amazing job.
a tip: adding a traditional subwoofer (home theater) to an amazon studio pair - Add a third device if you already have it (eg echo dot) and on your p2 audio output connect the subwoofer input. It's perfect!
OK so the two studios are nothing to sniff about and were brilliant. But I've just added the sub and wow what an experience! I'm using the 4k stick and after alot of head scratching I've finally got the stick sub and the studios as a group on my TV. I agree the sub makes it very heavy and almost drowns out the speech to make it clear. I'd like to add though that once the sub is in the set it doesn't matter which one of the speakers you go into, it will apply them settings to all three not just the one you clicked on. I turned down the bass and upped the tremble on a studio and it applied it across the board which is handy. I'd recommend this setup, its pricey but it will last years and will out perform any speaker bar with a sub. Be great to add dots as rear speakers, I'm sure amazon have tested it and its possible but are just being sods.
I'm considering just the two Studios, because I'm concerned the Echo Sub will create too much bass. My living room isn't very big. I also only watch shows and movies that are dialogue intensive, so no sports or Jurassic Park/Star Wars type movies. Do you think I'm still need the Sub?
I got this very system and looking around TH-cam channels on this topic, I found out that when you connect your firestick tv or cube to your television’s HDMI ARC or e-ARC you can then hear sounds from cable satellite boxes, Apple TV and hand consoles that are hooked up to the other HDMI ports in your TV.
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
Really good review thanks. Answered all of the questions I had about this setup. Only being able to use it with fire TV is a total deal breaker for me sadly. If you had a setup like this you’d want to use for all your devices
I set up two Echo Studio's from my Apple Mac Mini, First I connected Analogue to digital convertor with 3.5 aux input and a optical output to my Mac ( you can run a cable from the headphone socket on the Mac but I used a USB dac because the sound is better ) I then ran a Toslink cable from the convertor to an optical splitter box with two optical outputs then run the two special Toslink cables to the Echo Studios, This way I dont have to rely on using a firestick in the living room as We only use the Mac as a media centre, The whole thing works really well and sounds absolutley awesome, On the subject of Subwoofers at one stage I did buy an Echo Sub but it was a living Nightmare so I sent it back to Amazon, I think the Echo Sub looks awesome but is totally useless, Ive managed to install a 3.5 Aux on one of the studios and I connect a Hama Subwoofer via an Aux cable, Ive Beat Amazon at thier stupid games and dont have to rely on thier other products or Bluetooth and also both speakers work with anything, Theres no background noise or hiss, It all sounds complex but I found it easy, I worked it out myself and why did I bother when I couldve just bought a different system and use an Echo Input you may ask 'TO BEAT AMAZON thats why' , Anyways awesome videos thanks for sharing Bud.
OK, I am predictable. I had to take it up to the next level and today my sub arrived. Anything less than two Echo studios and the sub isn't acceptable. Take it to the next level and get the sub!
Actually instead of adjusting the bass ratio between the Sub and the Studios through an equalizer there should be a cross-over control so the user can control at which low frequency the Studio cuts off its bass and when the Sub kicks in. As far as i know the Sub's "adaptive" cross-over range goes from 50 to 200 Hertz. A Sub that kicks in at 200 Htz kicks in at a waaay to high frequency. Even 100 Htz is much to early. I don't know what the "adaptive" does but to me it sounds as if it might continuously change the cross-over frequency. Which would be not good. One should be able to set the cross-over frequency manually to a fixed value.
Finally a clean step by step instruction to make a stereo pair with the sub and connect to the home cinema. However I can't believe there's no way to create a Home Cinema without a Fire TV box or stick. I already own a smart TV with bluetooth and wifi audio, this is the only reason keeping me away from buying the Echo Studio + Echo Sub.
I own all of the Fire tv Editions, Element, Toshiba and Insignia, none of them have echo studio support, go figure. I eventually gave in and got a Fire Stick for my Fire TV Edition that I use when I'm in the mode for surround sound, its definitely redundant but it was worth it, great sound experience!
Superb Sound Experience, Great 👍, I'm having echo dot 3, now I'm going to buy two studios & sub on 25th, definitely I'll also share my own experience to you, as I'm searching for Dolby Atmos soundbar for so long & Idea for soundbar cancelled, this is the right way to hear Dolby Atmos in a cheaper way, thanks for making this video, God Bless
For $650 its a way overpriced item, it sounds good just like bose sounds good but if you see what $650 can buy in real speakers you'd say wow the non amazon speakers sound 10x better and get 3x louder without distortion. BTW my theater speakers cost about $5000 plus another $3500 on subwoofers not to mention sound processors, but Ive been through all budget levels over time. but having two 24inch sealed subwofers and the 3 front speaker having a 15 inch woofer, 6.5 inch midrange and a 1 inch tweeter, lets you know how things would sound if you were there in real life. explosions on high volume start to physically cause pain. The worst thing about the amazon speakers is they tune them for a select few types of music so anything else including tv and movies sounds very muddy or not in tune.
I currently have a Logitech z906 5.1 system and it is awesome ..it cost me around £250..I am very tempted to buy this set up and sell my Logitech surround system. The sound quality from the echo devices are pretty impressive. It's a pity that it isn't possible to add an extra couple of speakers to the set up..a couple of echo plus devices to add to the mix or a couple more studio speakers would be awesome.
Hi,I bought an echo sub refurbished £78.99 on black Friday looks like new.paired with echo dots sound fantastic . Plus the echo cube was £79.99.So maybe they will be on offer again.Cheers
I'm going to test it out myself to make sure once they arrive but unlike said in your video (likely an update) apparently it's possible to deliver the home theater sound through another hdmi input only if you have the fire tv in eArc on the TV and devices in the other hdmi slot(s) on the TV
Agreed they should offer up to 5 separate channels especially for the centre channel as you can clearly tell it’s missing something I still cannot work out why they omitted the sound bar compatibility in combination with a home room setup thus allowing a wider l/r setup for a more family oriented e.g. as in heard but not seen. Maybe it’s a Bluetooth 5 limitation which is a shame
I hooked up a Echo Dot via it's 3.5mm output to my dad's old school 1993 Yamaha RX-V870 analog Stereo Receiver to the "CD Player" input. - - Wow - - Now I have WiFi HiFi surround sound (80W Each Front: Left, Center and Right / 25W Each Rear: Left and Right) Music, that's way better than any Bluetooth output, since we all know Bluetooth audio output quality is shite, because a WiFi connection gives you the best sound because it has much greater bandwidth.
It does as long you are running a fire stick or fire cube... It will play through your echoes and sub... Just as long you pair them together..... You will love it
I have my Echo Studio paired with Echo cube for all those Amazon shows that support Dolby Atmos. Then I got the idea to use it as a pc speaker. I used a 3.5mm cable from the Studio to the pc headphone jack and was able to use the windows 10 Dolby for headphones app. Sounds just as good as if it was headphones. Then that novelty wore off and i keep The Studio connected to PC with the optical cable, and still paired with the Cube connected to AV reciever for the Television. Life is Good😎
Have the new Fire Cube TV 4K and receiving the three speakers in your video on Friday! Great video and will help immensely in my setup process! Thanks and happy holidays!
Son Tran Quang : Well it didn’t go as expected! Long story short, I returned my Studio’s and Fire Cube.. Instead, I opted for the Apple TV 4K and went with a JBL Bar 5.1.. I had high hopes for the Amazon items, but what I have now is working fabulously with my Flat Screen and PS4... Stay safe and healthy....
@@gunny6517 Thanks mate. Keep it healthy. Guess that I will still keep my Sonos set instead of moving to Echo. The sound isn't that impressive good for you??
This video was very good at explaining both the quality and limitations (if one considers that) of this setup. I am definitely considering getting this as my sound system for high end cinematic enjoyment. Thank you so much
Are you able to do an update version with Amazon earc wireless audio with fire stick 4K max and studio paired in home cinema. Wireless audio will allow you to stream audio from other hdmi connected devices like Xbox, nvidia shield etc
I just find this out late and I would like to change my sonos beam 2 using 2 echo studio and a sub. However, is there a way to make this work without the firecube TV by using my Sony Android TV wired?
Already have one Studio, question..when pairing the Studios together and playing from Amazon HD are they still able to play 3D music, or is it changed to stereo?
The speakers are made for 3D Music you would get 2x 3d music the placement I would use would be place each one in the four courners of the room 4x in all
Been looking into doing this as soon as it was mentioned and I asked doldy on Twitter to confirm it. One thing I wish tho is the fire cubes speaker was used as the center speaker that would be perfect
i compared to my samsung hw-q900c soundbar, 1500€. liked the studios better, the more distance you have left and right it sounds better. but no rears. but the rears are crappy anyway. now with eARC firetv devices you can connect any device to it. using it in my basement with a beamer.
Some questions; can the new Fire TVs do this without the Cube? Currently we have Apple TV on every TV and I am getting a little bit exhausted with them.
It sounds epic, kind of, but I still can't imagine the Atmos spatial audio legit sounds like it's coming from behind, above, top left, bottom right etc...
I'm torn between this set up or a good pair of powered bookshelf speakers. The only thing pushing me towards this is dolby. Does netflix have a good number of dolby content? I heard hulu stopped carrying Dolby? Is the dolby worth the extra for this system? How does it compare to a dolby 5.1 sound bar from Samsung or sony?
I’ve read that you can get a toslink that splits and connect the 2 speakers. So you will get sound from. BOth of them but they just output the same sound and not separate channels
I’ve been using this setup for Amazon music HD since release day of the echo studio. For home theatre I prefer my 5.1.2 M&K system. Music sounds great through the studio 2.1 setup though.
That's exactly what I told my friend who bought the Studio... for music I'm just fine with my Echo Show... I bet the Studio is awesome for HD music, but for movies... ehrm.. will wait longer...
Marcelo Vilaça I would never use the studio for movies, for music on a day to day basis it’s great and Amazon HD and UHD music its a tidy sound and for me well worth the money.
I had already bought the Echo Studio and ended up cancelling the purchase because of that simple detail that I would not be able to have a full Home Theater set using the optical cable...Seems pretty awesome if you are ready to use only amazon products and set something like you did (although I would not use yet another subwoofer as the Echo Studio already have a sub woofer) I'm just not ready to be completelly dependent on one single company for all my entertainment.... Ended up buying a full Sony home theater setup for about 1/3 of the total price... and it works just fine with optical....
@@RanLeeSmalls in the US it is and they wont ship too the UK. Still unavailble at amazon.co.uk ive seen a couple get bid on on ebay tho most of the time they get too like £145 when they used to sell for like £99 on amazon.co.uk iirc. Maybe they had trouble sourcing components used to make them due too Rona
Thanks for that lasts part I was specting to connect multiple devices. An update would be nice, what about one studio plus two echos 4th gen and probably with out the sub.
Remember we all have different requirements - some like hardly any bass at all (weirdos) while others like their bass to be bone jarring or at any of the regions inbetween.
hi... thank you for the review and you stated that the only way for all three to work is with the fire 4k or cube... since this video, has there been a way to use all 3 without the cube or firestick, or is there a way with a receiver/optical left and right splitter, my thing is to try to use it without the stick and use the tv.... i just purchased a echo dot 3 and its got me going crazy i love it and then i looked into this and love it im willing to save up for the next 5 6 months just to get this instead of a sound bar, so please let me know or please find a solution.... thank you
While this product is pretty cool. That I might pick one up. I would think Now that Amazon has its own televisions, its only a matter time, they create a soundbar.
Little late to the party but, what about that HDMI In/Out on the back of the Fire Cube???. Can you use it to connect a bluray or Xbox console and get nice dolby atmos?
Your video was helpful and I purchased the Fire TV Cube and Two Echo Studios. This setup works well on Video and is a solid alternative to the typical soundbar rig. However I discovered something that was a bit of a letdown when using Amazons HD Music streaming. While the Echo Studio has 24 bit audio support the Fire Cube does not. So when you set up the combo together you are limited to the 16 bit capabilities of the Fire Cube. Have not found a work around for this yet so was curious if you or some of the subscribers to the channel had some insight on the issue
I considering this set up I believe I understand the limitations. I will using the 4K Firestick. To my understanding I believe all 3 speakers will work with my Spotify account using Spotify through the 4K stick?
I have this complete setup but rarely use it because I have two other stereo systems. I use it when I remember that I have it or I'm just bored and want something to play with. It sounds decent for what it is but the bass module is totally lacking in bass. This would make an excellent starter system or a stereo system for children. I didn't like the spacial audio in the beginning but now I leave it on all the time.
Got our second Studio today, we already had the Sub and 4K Firestick, connecting was a breeze, what a sound, even You tube sounds great. EDIT Had a massive problem with the second studio. It kept dropping connection and unpairing with the first studio and sub, also the light ring on the second was much brighter than the first. After much resetting we contacted Amazon and they were fantastic, after a factory reset they decided that there was a prob and a replacement was sent out the next day. Touch wood they are working in harmony now
One more quick question: Is there anyway to have my PS4 Pro utilize my new Sound System? I do have my PS4 Pro setup via my connected equipment in my Fire Cube TV 4K settings, but my PS4 Pro is connected via the HDMI to my 4K TV and the TV's internal speakers. Would really want to utilize my Echo System if at all possible... THANKS!
This would've been even more better if you didn't need a fire stick or tv and just use something like the Samsung or Roku ui. Beside that this is amazing!
I have the same set up. I started with two echo studio and I was very happy, and then I added the sub but listening to music its quite annoying the sub. Can you make a video with your balance set up
So if you connect multiple to your TV … how do you keep all of them from going off at once if your just using Alexa normally for something other the TV
They also call what some phone speakers do "ATMOS". They're right to, because part of ATMOS is that it's the same "container" no matter the playback setup. So this wifi based, 2.1 that uses an abundance of dsp and sound bouncing is... well, that. I'll stick to my 5.2.4 setup tho.... which obviously doesn't fit everyone's needs/style/priorities. Just irritating that yes this is "technically" ATMOS. But it is night and day against even a solid 5.1
Surround sounds like it is at the sides of your position and slightly above but not behind.There are some limitations but i'm still impressed and like the simple setup of 2x studios plus sub.
What about a 4.1 setup for true surround sound? 2X Echo Studio (Gen 2) 1X Echo Sub 2X Echo (Gen 4) for surround (Left and Right) All paired together (if possible) Please make this video!
Question: I have a living room (large size) and I will need 4-5 speakers to cover the whole area. On one section I want to use 2 Question: Echo studios and a sub on the TV and for the other sections of the room use more echo studio / echo speakers. Can i use the 2 studios and sub in a home theatre group as well as a music group (with the rest of the speakers)?
Are you able to do a video of the speakers in different part of your living room and compare the sound compared to infant on tv stand? would like to know if then you get full 3D effect. great videos keep up the good work. Ryan.
Fantastic review,worth waiting for.I think the studios just get better over time.At first i thought the setup was a little over priced but based on the enjoyment i've had so far i'm not so sure.Had i to make the same choices again i would not hesitate.No regrets.......one happy dude.
Hi, thanks for the tips, I have an Echo studio (1) set as home theatre, and works well with all apps ( netflix prime video etc content, but the online that I can't get to work properly sound sync and quality is youtube, ( even the sound sounds like if one of the speakers is broken or something ) I tried setting as well with the bouncing ball but i can't get to work properly, any advice? thank you

I have my Echo Studio paired with Echo cube for all those Amazon shows that support Dolby Atmos. Then I got the idea to use it as a pc speaker. I used a 3.5mm cable from the Studio to the pc headphone jack and was able to use the windows 10 Dolby for headphones app. Sounds just as good as if it was headphones. Then that novelty wore off and i keep The Studio connected to PC with the optical cable, and still paired with the Cube connected to AV reciever for the Television. Life is Good😎
Nice!
Have the new Fire Cube TV 4K and receiving the three speakers in your video on Friday! Great video and will help immensely in my setup process! Thanks and happy holidays!
How is the result??
Son Tran Quang : Well it didn’t go as expected! Long story short, I returned my Studio’s and Fire Cube.. Instead, I opted for the Apple TV 4K and went with a JBL Bar 5.1.. I had high hopes for the Amazon items, but what I have now is working fabulously with my Flat Screen and PS4... Stay safe and healthy....
@@gunny6517 Thanks mate. Keep it healthy. Guess that I will still keep my Sonos set instead of moving to Echo. The sound isn't that impressive good for you??
This video was very good at explaining both the quality and limitations (if one considers that) of this setup.
I am definitely considering getting this as my sound system for high end cinematic enjoyment.
Thank you so much
its not high end it's mainstream at best
Are you able to do an update version with Amazon earc wireless audio with fire stick 4K max and studio paired in home cinema. Wireless audio will allow you to stream audio from other hdmi connected devices like Xbox, nvidia shield etc
I just find this out late and I would like to change my sonos beam 2 using 2 echo studio and a sub. However, is there a way to make this work without the firecube TV by using my Sony Android TV wired?
Already have one Studio, question..when pairing the Studios together and playing from Amazon HD are they still able to play 3D music, or is it changed to stereo?
In my setup of 2 Echo Studios a Echo Sub and Fire TV Cube. 3D Music is still there.
The speakers are made for 3D Music you would get 2x 3d music the placement I would use would be place each one in the four courners of the room 4x in all
Been looking into doing this as soon as it was mentioned and I asked doldy on Twitter to confirm it.
One thing I wish tho is the fire cubes speaker was used as the center speaker that would be perfect
Don't need a centre speaker.I had 5.1 for years saying one must have a centre.Now i've got the studios and sub that comment makes me laugh.
i compared to my samsung hw-q900c soundbar, 1500€. liked the studios better, the more distance you have left and right it sounds better. but no rears. but the rears are crappy anyway. now with eARC firetv devices you can connect any device to it. using it in my basement with a beamer.
Some questions; can the new Fire TVs do this without the Cube? Currently we have Apple TV on every TV and I am getting a little bit exhausted with them.
That's a really nice tv console! What is the brand and or where can I find it?
It sounds epic, kind of, but I still can't imagine the Atmos spatial audio legit sounds like it's coming from behind, above, top left, bottom right etc...
Do you really need an fire stick or cube?? I have a sony 4k smart tv with wifi built in...thanks
I'm torn between this set up or a good pair of powered bookshelf speakers. The only thing pushing me towards this is dolby. Does netflix have a good number of dolby content? I heard hulu stopped carrying Dolby? Is the dolby worth the extra for this system? How does it compare to a dolby 5.1 sound bar from Samsung or sony?
Wait I can't use my 4khdr player my Xbox PlayStation my cable box or anything else? I need to watch only Amazon movies? I'm confused
You can watch anything on amazons device.
I’ve read that you can get a toslink that splits and connect the 2 speakers. So you will get sound from. BOth of them but they just output the same sound and not separate channels
Its a great deal if you could get dts-x as well but you cannot or even could hook up a bluray or other device that has dolby atmos content.
I’ve been using this setup for Amazon music HD since release day of the echo studio. For home theatre I prefer my 5.1.2 M&K system.
Music sounds great through the studio 2.1 setup though.
That's exactly what I told my friend who bought the Studio... for music I'm just fine with my Echo Show... I bet the Studio is awesome for HD music, but for movies... ehrm.. will wait longer...
Marcelo Vilaça I would never use the studio for movies, for music on a day to day basis it’s great and Amazon HD and UHD music its a tidy sound and for me well worth the money.
After 3years have you tried to use your HDMI ARC output from TV and checked if you could get the better experience than through mini optical cable?
I had already bought the Echo Studio and ended up cancelling the purchase because of that simple detail that I would not be able to have a full Home Theater set using the optical cable...Seems pretty awesome if you are ready to use only amazon products and set something like you did (although I would not use yet another subwoofer as the Echo Studio already have a sub woofer)
I'm just not ready to be completelly dependent on one single company for all my entertainment.... Ended up buying a full Sony home theater setup for about 1/3 of the total price... and it works just fine with optical....
I'm hoping this can be fixed with a software update in the future.
What about Bluetooth music ? If I go on Bluetooth will I be able to connect all 3 echos at the same time ?
can you add more than 2 studio speakers like 4 studio speakers 2 my 4k firestick plus sub does it matter? anyone please thank you.
He explained in the video
Have amazon stopped selling the echo sub? I keep checking the echo sub page and it keeps saying "Currently unavailable"
Graham Jones it’s on sale now
@@RanLeeSmalls in the US it is and they wont ship too the UK. Still unavailble at amazon.co.uk ive seen a couple get bid on on ebay tho most of the time they get too like £145 when they used to sell for like £99 on amazon.co.uk iirc. Maybe they had trouble sourcing components used to make them due too Rona
Love to get this working with my nvidea shield
I would like that too.Fire TV only is a bit limiting and optical with one studio doesn't offer the best results.
Thanks for that lasts part I was specting to connect multiple devices. An update would be nice, what about one studio plus two echos 4th gen and probably with out the sub.
For me that sounded awesome! Must be around 800 Watts
Is it advisable to buy the echo studio in 2024?
Is subwoofer necessary? The two studio already have a decent amount of bass. I think it’s more useful if you have the regular echo’s in pair.
Remember we all have different requirements - some like hardly any bass at all (weirdos) while others like their bass to be bone jarring or at any of the regions inbetween.
Could you put the Studio’s on a side table left and right of your couch to make a more separated sound?
magicians4christ ...or strap them to your head for the ultimate headphone set up...? 🤣
Love the tv cabinet
What about connecting other devices ??
hi... thank you for the review and you stated that the only way for all three to work is with the fire 4k or cube... since this video, has there been a way to use all 3 without the cube or firestick, or is there a way with a receiver/optical left and right splitter, my thing is to try to use it without the stick and use the tv.... i just purchased a echo dot 3 and its got me going crazy i love it and then i looked into this and love it im willing to save up for the next 5 6 months just to get this instead of a sound bar, so please let me know or please find a solution.... thank you
is there any delay on the audio since it’s streaming over the wifi?
While this product is pretty cool. That I might pick one up.
I would think Now that Amazon has its own televisions, its only a matter time, they create a soundbar.
I was always aware that the studio only would work with fire TV for the Dolby sound.
Have you thought about an optical splitter? Like they sell on Amazon 2 in 3 out? Would that work?
Little late to the party but, what about that HDMI In/Out on the back of the Fire Cube???. Can you use it to connect a bluray or Xbox console and get nice dolby atmos?
This is great. BUTTTT what about using an external device? Like an Xbox as an example? Will that still play through these somehow?
I use a free TV 4K Max. It has eARC, so anything plugged into the TV in HDMI will play through the Echos. The Xbox or a Blu-ray player for instance.
Setting this up now with a samsung tv , your saying in order to hook these up to work with my tv I need a fire stick or fire cube ?
I to would like to know the answer to this question as I as well have a new 85" Samsung OLED TV.
@@co4x4 yep , got the new fire tv cube
Your video was helpful and I purchased the Fire TV Cube and Two Echo Studios. This setup works well on Video and is a solid alternative to the typical soundbar rig. However I discovered something that was a bit of a letdown when using Amazons HD Music streaming. While the Echo Studio has 24 bit audio support the Fire Cube does not. So when you set up the combo together you are limited to the 16 bit capabilities of the Fire Cube. Have not found a work around for this yet so was curious if you or some of the subscribers to the channel had some insight on the issue
I'm not sure there is a resolution for this sadly.
I considering this set up I believe I understand the limitations. I will using the 4K Firestick. To my understanding I believe all 3 speakers will work with my Spotify account using Spotify through the 4K stick?
I have this complete setup but rarely use it because I have two other stereo systems. I use it when I remember that I have it or I'm just bored and want something to play with. It sounds decent for what it is but the bass module is totally lacking in bass. This would make an excellent starter system or a stereo system for children. I didn't like the spacial audio in the beginning but now I leave it on all the time.
Got our second Studio today, we already had the Sub and 4K Firestick, connecting was a breeze, what a sound, even You tube sounds great.
EDIT
Had a massive problem with the second studio. It kept dropping connection and unpairing with the first studio and sub, also the light ring on the second was much brighter than the first. After much resetting we contacted Amazon and they were fantastic, after a factory reset they decided that there was a prob and a replacement was sent out the next day. Touch wood they are working in harmony now
So what should I start with
Sub and the studio?
Studio has highs less bass?
If I have my projector in a room, should I isolate walls, or worry about the acoustics?
One more quick question: Is there anyway to have my PS4 Pro utilize my new Sound System? I do have my PS4 Pro setup via my connected equipment in my Fire Cube TV 4K settings, but my PS4 Pro is connected via the HDMI to my 4K TV and the TV's internal speakers. Would really want to utilize my Echo System if at all possible... THANKS!
2x 3.5mm to toshlink cable and a 2 way toshlink spliter
This would've been even more better if you didn't need a fire stick or tv and just use something like the Samsung or Roku ui. Beside that this is amazing!
I have the same set up. I started with two echo studio and I was very happy, and then I added the sub but listening to music its quite annoying the sub. Can you make a video with your balance set up
Did you get the Dolby Atmos without the sub? I wouldn’t mind getting 2 Echo Studios but I’m really not interested in spending more on the sub.
@@CustardCream22 I think its possible to use only two studios for home cinema
@@rgirones19 Ok thanks 😊
So if you connect multiple to your TV … how do you keep all of them from going off at once if your just using Alexa normally for something other the TV
They also call what some phone speakers do "ATMOS". They're right to, because part of ATMOS is that it's the same "container" no matter the playback setup. So this wifi based, 2.1 that uses an abundance of dsp and sound bouncing is... well, that.
I'll stick to my 5.2.4 setup tho.... which obviously doesn't fit everyone's needs/style/priorities. Just irritating that yes this is "technically" ATMOS. But it is night and day against even a solid 5.1
Thanks for doing this video!! I am curious on whether this setup was a successful in creating sounds from the back, i.e. surround sound
Surround sounds like it is at the sides of your position and slightly above but not behind.There are some limitations but i'm still impressed and like the simple setup of 2x studios plus sub.
What about a 4.1 setup for true surround sound?
2X Echo Studio (Gen 2)
1X Echo Sub
2X Echo (Gen 4) for surround (Left and Right)
All paired together (if possible)
Please make this video!
In home theater mode, you can only pair two speakers (and one subwoofer).
Can you connect to other Tvs by bluetooth?
Question: I have a living room (large size) and I will need 4-5 speakers to cover the whole area. On one section I want to use 2 Question: Echo studios and a sub on the TV and for the other sections of the room use more echo studio / echo speakers. Can i use the 2 studios and sub in a home theatre group as well as a music group (with the rest of the speakers)?
Are you able to do a video of the speakers in different part of your living room and compare the sound compared to infant on tv stand? would like to know if then you get full 3D effect. great videos keep up the good work. Ryan.
Ryan Saunders Infant...? 🤣
I’m here and see if you can link them all to your PlayStation
Nah two HomePods with airport 2 to connect a sub is wayyyyy better
I am going to do this in india . We have Echo Sub and echo studio both available on Sale . 😁 and all are in discount 😍
Packaged as a pair for a little less money would be great. I'm betting most spending this much will buy them as a pair.
I think we'll see this this year with some software updates.
so if I wanted to enhance my already existing soundbar, can these be added to run/play alongside?
Can we use dual sub for making best sound setup ?
If I have Alexa compatible TV do i still need fire TV stick?
Fantastic review,worth waiting for.I think the studios just get better over time.At first i thought the setup was a little over priced but based on the enjoyment i've had so far i'm not so sure.Had i to make the same choices again i would not hesitate.No regrets.......one happy dude.
Hi, thanks for the tips, I have an Echo studio (1) set as home theatre, and works well with all apps ( netflix prime video etc content, but the online that I can't get to work properly sound sync and quality is youtube, ( even the sound sounds like if one of the speakers is broken or something ) I tried setting as well with the bouncing ball but i can't get to work properly, any advice?
thank you
