I'm looking at building a home audio system throughout my home, and started building out a home theatre system using 2 Echo Studios and an Echo Sub. The sound quality is amazing. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in my apartment for a few months, so I can't let them sing yet :) I also have some of the full sized Echo hubs to place in various rooms throughout the house as well. I'm excited to get it all up and running!
The location of the speakers impedes the sound. They should be in a direct line of sight of your seated position and at ear level if possible. Otherwise, you are compromising the sound quality.
You know I did something similar in my kitchen above the cabinets where there is open space with the the small Echo Dot gen4 not wall mounted just sitting on its own for now. The sound is excellent having it high and in the location. I have the echo 3 on the kitchen counter. The whole kitchen is now full of very good sounding music. Good video.
If I have one Echo Dot Gen.5 / Echo Dot Kids Gen.5 / Echo Dot Gen.4, Can I pair the Dot5 and Dot5 Kids in left/right stereo and use the remaining Dot4 as a 2.1-channel subwoofer by connecting it to another speaker via Aux Out? Or is it only possible to link the two devices for 2-channel use?
My current setup is a Firestick 4K with a home theatre consisting of two echo speakers and an echo sub. My question is, if I may. If I upgrade to the new Fire cube which as a HDMI in will the home theatre side still work if I run my satellite system through the fire cube, in other word will sound from the satellite system come out of the of two echo speakers and an echo sub?

Hey I have two dots and a sub and a new projector and a 4k Firestick but it won't allow me to use it with the projector. Apparently I need an arc HDMI port. How did you get round this. Is your projector using arc HDMI with Firestick?
I've got the exact same setup on my projector, 2 4th Gen echo's and a fire TV stick but when I play through the fre stick the sound is very quiet on full volume but if I connect via my phone to the speaker group like through Amazon music I get some decent sound out of the speakers. Any ideas what's going on here
Do I need a fire stick or cube in order to connect them to my tv? I already use my smart TV and xbox for media, and I don't really want to get another media device
If you pair the speakers with a firetv 4k max and use the ARC HDMI port on the tv you can use your echo home theater for all devices connected to the tv including your xbox
I have a Amazon 4 series tv that I'm trying to connect with echo studio. I will connect it to my home wifi and then set them up as a home theater. After I do this the studio connects to an Amazon wifi. When this happens I can't adjust bass, treble, or mid range. I've spoken with 8 different associates and been offered a new device. I connected my other studio in the same fashion and was faced with the same problem. Does anyone have any advice?
I am using this to control my projector screen with ALEXA Routine s: BOND | Add Wifi to Ceiling Fan, Fireplace or Somfy shades | Works with Alexa, Google Home | amzn.to/3ldOnWG
I would suggest ditching the 4th gen echo's for 2 studios for the atmos sound. when its working 2 studios + a sub is an awesome HT setup. Issues I am having is right and left channel sync drops often and have to rebuild the setup in the app to fix, another issue is if you are using a firetv recast over the same wifi as your theater setup it will drop the home theater setup while watching recorded programs
Got it connected then next day would not connect have to delete and remake home theatre again every time I turn tv off… does not save or it’s losing signal any body else having these problems or something interfering ? Any suggestions thanks…
Hello Marv, welcome to the channel. In order to achieve the similar results, you'll need to download this app for your ipCameras: i.p.Cam Viewer Full (I have a video on this app: th-cam.com/video/MUGEv_Ec_cU/w-d-xo.html) , then load them into the app. ....then goto alexa ROUTINES and create an routine like this: ALEXA> CUSTOM> "Open I.P. Cam Viewer Full App" THIS will trigger your fire TV or Alexa Show to open your app with the cameras displayed! I really should make a video on this SOON! Thank you for your interest! -Todd
I am reading in internet about Amazon Echo since 2 weeks, and I could not find any information about using them front and rear, to avoid buying a 5.1 home cinevam system. Is there any way to make a test about it? Thanks a lot
I think the echos would sound better on the sides of the projector..the way u have them hidden kind of defeats the purpose..but I guess u are going for more of a cleaner look
Did not really show up much about the physical setup. Where's the receiver etc? Most of us tech folks can figure out Alexa on our own and don't need a walk through.
I ended up going back and flipped the ECHOS to face up-and-over the beams because they were creating a hollow sound pointing inside the beam 😄

hello, maybe is too late, but letting you know it would work, as well everything you play on the tv.
Does this only work through fire stick tv? Can you use the same set up with a fire stick for connectivity but play terrestrial or sky tv?

You’re pretty cool dude I appreciate your videos they have always been very helpful
Thank you :) -Todd
I’ve never seen such a projector.
Sending the beams so shortly on the wall… what is the name of it and how’s it called ?
Thanks for review .
"Ultra Short Throw" or UST Projector.

one problem i find is it says the devices are not on the same network for some reason
I've got the exact same setup on my projector, 2 4th Gen echo's and a fire TV stick but when I play through the fre stick the sound is very quiet on full volume but if I connect via my phone to the speaker group like through Amazon music I get some decent sound out of the speakers. Any ideas what's going on here
Same problem with, as stand alone system it sounds good but in home theater mode its like at 70% of max
Mine used to work fine, but now the sound started to come out of the projector out of suddenly.
Can you make a video showing us how you got your projector Alexa compatible?
What gen of fire cube is he using?
i hope someday a 5.1 will work
Can i do the same set up with echo flex connected to my JBL xtreme through 3.5mm out put ?
I need the cube for this setup?
Does echo dot 4thG and any external bluetooth speaker can play simultaneously without fireTv or home theater mode
What is generation is that echo? Or is it just called Echo? Because I need this in my house. I have the small circle one's. And the dot.
Do you have to have a fire cube or fire tv to use it on a tv? Can you use Bluetooth via tv?
I have the Fire Cube on this projector TV.
@@twHomeShow have you heard of anyone using a regular smart tv for echo dots or the sound devices? Thanks.
I can't seem to get the ew to work , when I try the sliders in the app they move but go back to xero
Interesting space to install your speakers.
Do I need a fire stick or cube in order to connect them to my tv? I already use my smart TV and xbox for media, and I don't really want to get another media device
Either will work.
If you pair the speakers with a firetv 4k max and use the ARC HDMI port on the tv you can use your echo home theater for all devices connected to the tv including your xbox
@@twHomeShow neither will work for what he asked, only the new 4k max supports ARC to allow his xbox to play over the home theater setup
NICE SOUND
Thanks for listening :) -Todd
I can’t seem to get my sub to work with the studio and firestick even in a speaker group.
Great video
Thx for the video,
Unfortunately, this is not a real home theater configuration.
Is there a way to make 5.1 configuration using only echo dot devics?
Kind of..you can't do front and back sounds, only stereo. You can however hook up as many echos as you want soooo :)
Won't the tv speakers work? I have a soundbar attached to my tv but need a better surround so. Was thinking of doing this
This is just 2.1 but can you make 7.1.2

Brian, thank you for sharing your information! -Todd
Do I also have to buy the Fire tv Stick to make this work?
Yes. Firestick or cube, like I have. -Todd
Can I connect the echo to firetv stick?
Yes.
Is there a way to connect to Nvidia shield TV pro I just got two echos and would love to try
need to buy a firetv 4k max and set it up on the HDMI ARC port, it will then use your firetv device as an audio receiver for the nvida shield
Thanks for the video. Are you still happy with your setup? I am planning to do something similar for my bedroom TV.
Thanks, your video helped me a lot.
I'm glad. -Todd
Got it connected then next day would not connect have to delete and remake home theatre again every time I turn tv off… does not save or it’s losing signal any body else having these problems or something interfering ? Any suggestions thanks…
when your firetv stick or cube loses power it will reconnect but it takes several minutes on its own
Amazing Speakers but the 'connect to device' shout always is a bummer feature and cannot disabled. I wish amazon releases it
How did you connect them to projector, how was the wiring? Nice vid and beautiful home!
Via fire TV cube likely
Love the channel. What sub woofer did you use for your setup.
Echo sub.
Cool video, I have a question, Is it possible to use 2 echo 4th generation as pc speakers? Thank for an advice or info :)
Yes
I’m just trying to connect my new fire tv to my echo dot
That is a great setup
hi, I'm new subs. is there a video for your camera setup on your other wall? thank you.

In HT mode, you can only use it in 2.1 set up (0.1 can only be the sub).
I don't like when you go into the app you can't control the equalizer
Thank you this helped me get mine together.
Glad to hear! -Todd
I think the echos would sound better on the sides of the projector..the way u have them hidden kind of defeats the purpose..but I guess u are going for more of a cleaner look
Is there a way to send sound from a pc to a couple of amazon echos that i have in my room? Y can only send sound to one of them but not to both.
Did not really show up much about the physical setup. Where's the receiver etc? Most of us tech folks can figure out Alexa on our own and don't need a walk through.
By hiding them behind the beam you are completely killing the high notes, the tweeters are directional.
Where’s the center channel? This is no home theatre!
Thanks. excellent
Man test your speakers with Music,or audio generator...wow
