It works on Far-Field Technology just like a normal Echo does. You could connect it to any of the existing speakers. Just plug it into your favorite external speaker via a 3.5 mm audio cable or Bluetooth. Notably, like the Echo speaker, this also needs to be constantly plugged to a power source for it to work.

Take the usage to the next step by controlling compatible smart home devices with the help of it.
