"Alexa Home Theater arrived in late November, allowing owners of a recent Fire TV device and either of the new Echo speakers the ability to use up to five units and an Echo Sub as a surround sound setup. The main selling point is that the underlying tech allows you to put the speakers wherever you want and Alexa Home Theater will handle the rest."
"What is Alexa Home Theater? At the most basic level, Alexa Home Theater is an automatic room calibration tool that's akin to Trueplay from Sonos, SpaceFit Sound from Samsung or Sound Field Optimization from Sony. The feature, no matter which company builds it, is designed to automatically tune the acoustics of a soundbar or other speakers to the acoustics of the room."
Alexa Home Theater is an automatic room-calibration and spatial-audio system that tunes multiple Echo speakers to a room's acoustics and compensates for high ceilings and odd angles. The system supports spatial awareness so speakers can be placed flexibly while the software balances output based on proximity. Alexa Home Theater launched in late November and requires a recent Fire TV device and compatible Echo speakers. The updated system now allows up to five Echo Dot Max or second-generation Echo Studio units plus an Echo Sub in one setup. The setup can create surround sound but represents a considerable hardware investment and has practical limitations.
