Make any speaker smart with Amazon's Alexa and Rs 2,999

Amazon announced Echo Input in India which lets you easily add Alexa to your existing speaker through a 3.5mm audio cable (included in the box) or via Bluetooth. It features a four-microphone array so you can talk to Alexa from across the room. Echo Input is available for Rs 2,999.

Echo Input is just 12.5mm thick – less than a deck of cards – and blends easily into every room. You can use the Alexa app (available for free for Android and iOS devices) to easily connect Echo Input to your speakers. Unlike Echo Dot, which has a built-in speaker, all audio is played through the connected speaker rather than through Echo Input itself. When connected to Echo Input, your speaker can be added to a new or existing multi-room music group. You can also adjust the volume of Echo Input with your voice. In addition to Amazon Prime Music, Saavn and TuneIn you can now listen to music from Hungama and Gaana which are available on Alexa.

Echo Input comes with attractive launch offers from speaker brands such as Bose, JBL and UE Boom. When you purchase Echo Input with select speakers from these brands, you can get up to Rs 2,999 off.
