Plug-and-Play right out of the box: connect the power cord, set up the speaker using the Google Home app, link the music apps you'd like to use, and say "Ok Google"to choose your music. Pick up the speaker and hold it in your hand. You'll notice its weight. That's because it's built to sound better, creating a wide and deep sound field using a massive long-throw driver and soft-dome tweeter inside a tuned enclosure. Trust Onkyo's many years in audio to elevate the smart speaker experience. Engineers mapped resonances and standing waves caused by sound reflections inside and around the wooden cabinet with computers. The information was used to proportion and tune the enclosure to virtually eliminate vibration and enhance clarity. Enjoy clean, punchy bass with a sparkling and unstrained mid-range for vocals.
