Snap One Bows Alexa-Enabled 25-Watt In-Wall Bluetooth Amplifier

Snap One introduced an Alexa-enabled in-wall amplifier that connects to Bluetooth audio devices in single- or multiroom audio systems, it emailed Monday. The Episode Wake Amp connects a voice assistant or other Bluetooth audio device to speakers throughout a home with commercial-grade Bluetooth connectivity that extends up to 100 feet, said the company. Integrators can use the device to add simple voice control to new audio systems or to replace older in-wall volume controls with a voice-enabled controller. The keypad has three hard buttons, an LED bar to show volume level and a 25-watt amplifier.
