Is Echo Studio Compatible With TV?

Now let’s talk about its TV compatibility. Like its predecessors, the Echo Studio is designed to connect any part of the home and any electronic device. Having Alexa voice control built-in, you can control your sound handsfree from anywhere in your home. 

The sheer sound production capacity of the Studio rules out the need for a large variety of surround speakers to be connected to your TV. Instead, the Dolby Atmos technology creates this immersive experience. Unfortunately, however, Dolby Atmos only works with Fire TV.

Connecting the Echo Studio to a TV via Bluetooth is possible directly or through an external receiver if they have Bluetooth built-in or are equipped with a Bluetooth dongle. Both the TV or receiver and Echo should be close to each other or in the same room to ensure ease of secure connection. Let’s review both options below.
