Q Acoustics E300A In Ceiling Amplifier With Built In Alexa, WiFi & Bluetooth

The Q Acoustics E300A is suitable for installation in any room in the home and is just as capable of powering a single-room set-up or expansive multi-room system as it is driving an entire smart home habitat.

Integrated Amazon Alexa voice-control is activated by three far-field microphones, ensuring 360-degree coverage across even the largest open-plan living space. Use E300A’s power of Amazon Alexa with other compatible smart home products such as light fittings, thermostats, and door entry.

Just like many other Alexa-enabled products, E300A features an LED light ring to confirm voice interaction - and its surface-mounted light sensor ensures the LED ring is set to the correct intensity depending on the ambient light of your room.

It can be connected to in ceiling, in wall, or outdoor speakers to provide discreet but powerful sound. (sold separately)
