Speaker required

Echo Input requires an external speaker and connects via the included 3.5 mm audio cable or Bluetooth. It does not pair to Wi-Fi speakers. We recommend pairing with certified Bluetooth Speakers. Search compatible speakers

Speaker power-saving mode and volume

Speakers connected by 3.5 mm audio cable may power off if not used for an extended period of time. When possible, we recommend turning off the speaker’s power-saving mode by following the manufacturer’s instructions.

When connecting Echo Input to your speaker, first increase the volume of the speaker. Then say, “Alexa, volume 7” or “Alexa, volume up”.

Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the digital device. Some mention that the connectivity is top notch, while others say that it keeps losing the Bluetooth connection. The product connects to the internet automatically when starting the vehicle, but some customers say that they have connectivity issues with the Echo and the dongle. The Echo Input connects easily through an auxiliary input, and customers can stream their favorite music. The connectivity works most of the time, but customers say they have lost the speaker in the kitchen. The connection to the dongel and the Bose Soundtouch 30 I has started to suddenly drop connections. Customers do have a hard time connecting to their phone's hotspot, and the Echo reconnects with their home wifi system.

Echo Input works great for casting my music
I'm just adding this before my copied review for the Pyle PFA300 that I paired this Echo Input with.I don't plan on ever using the voice feature on this Echo Input and I've muted the mic immediately once turned on since I have an Echo about 5 feet away and I guess I could have just ran a long 3.5mm cord from the Echo but I wanted a clean look. I just needed the Echo Input so I could cast music from the Amazon Music Unlimited app on my phone to the Pyle receiver to then play the music in three separate rooms in my house with my in ceiling speakers. Luckily the Input was on sale for $9.99 or else I would have bought a Dot so this saved me $15! Thanks Amazon!Pyle PFA300 review:I've been going back and forth between this little guy and one of the bigger Pyle amps. I just need to get a signal to my built in ceiling speakers that are circa 2009 when my house was built so that means speaker wire connection. However I needed a way to get the music into the Pyle and I looked at a Chromecast but those are $35 and I use Amazon Echoes and Dots throughout my house so I wanted to stay with Amazon but didn't want to buy one more $25 Dot. Luckily I came across the Echo Input on sale for $9.99. Ordered everything and luckily everything showed up on the same day. Set up the Echo Input and connected the speaker wires to the back of the Pyle PFA300, plugged in the 3.5mm jack (that came with the Echo Input - score!) from the Echo Input to the Pyle and powered it on. I then turned on a song in Amazon Music Unlimited app, connected the Echo Input as the device to play music on in the app and nothing...no sound through my speakers. Go to the wall and turn the volume all the way up and I finally hear the music but it sounds like the volume is only a quarter of the way up. I immediately start thinking I should have bought a receiver with more power etc...but before I take it all apart and return it, I check the Alexa app on my phone and look at the Echo Input and see there is a volume control slide feature and it's at 10% for some reason. I cranked it up to 100% and the speakers get so loud it is now garbled, but hey it works. I turned the volume in the app down to 85%, my wall volume to 50% and it's at a perfect normal listening volume and if I turn the wall controller volume up all tge way it's nice and loud but with no distortion! Now I have no idea what kind of in ceiling speakers I have, but the music has nice highs a little bit of bass and it sounds great to me and the patio speakers work and so do the ones in the Master bedroom so I am a happy camper, thank you Pyle for not making me spend $50 to $300 on some needlessly expensive equipment for what I needed.
Thank you for your feedback
