DTS Announces Alexa Certification for a Dozen Play-Fi Products

A dozen Play-Fi audio products have been Works with Alexa-certified and will receive software upgrades throughout the year to make them Alexa-ready, said DTS Thursday. Users who link an Alexa-compatible Play-Fi product will be able to ask the voice assistant on a system’s primary device to play a song in a specific room or a group of rooms, adjust volume, skip a track, and mute, pause and stop music, said the company. Once audio begins playing, customers use the Play-Fi app to add more products to a streaming session, it said. Products receiving Alexa certification are the Aerix Duet speaker; Klipsch Gate music streamer, PowerGate gateway amplifier and the RW-1, Capital Three and The Three speakers; McIntosh MB50 streaming audio player and RS100 speaker; Onkyo P3 speaker; Phorus PS10 speaker; Pioneer F4 speaker; and Soundcast VG10 outdoor speaker, said DTS. The company didn't respond to questions.
