EditAdding an External Speaker
- Find or purchase a 3.5mm audio cable. If you do not already have one, purchase a 3.5mm audio cable – also known as an aux cord – that has male connections on each end.
- Plug one end of the audio cable into your Alexa device. On the back of your Alexa device, you should see two inputs: one for the power source and a round one for an audio cable. Plug the audio cable into the circular port.
- Plug the other end of the audio cable into your external speaker. Take the other end of the audio cable and plug it into the external speaker you wish to use. The location of the “Aux In” connection differs from speaker to speaker, so consult the speaker manual if you cannot locate it.
- Make sure both devices are turned on. Once the audio cord is connected to both devices, make sure they are both powered on and you will be all set. The next time you ask Alexa something or play music on the Echo, the sound will come out of the external speaker.
