We announced it to you a few months ago, the information was confirmed last month with the announcement of the new devices in the Echo range, here it is: THE STEREO !!! One week before the launch of Echo Sub, the new Echo Plus and Echo Dot, you can now use two second generation Echo and enjoy stereo sound. Thanks to the members of our Facebook community for their insight!
Configure stereo on Amazon Echo :
- Open your application Alexa,
- Go in "Devices Alexa »
- Select a device 2nd generation Echo (or 2nd generation Echo Plus),
- In category "Connected devices", to select "Create a set of speakers",
- Follow the instructions configuration.
- Enjoying stereo with Amazon Music Unlimited for example.
Stereo is better with bass!
If you are the proud owner of two 2nd generation Echo's and are delighted with their stereo rendering, just imagine what you could have with a Echo Sub! Yes, a subwoofer for your Echos 2 !!!
His characteristics :
- Echo Sub delivers 100W dynamic bass sound through a 152mm down-fire speaker.
- Pair Echo Sub with an Echo or Echo Plus device (sold separately) to enjoy dynamic music that fills the room with rich sound.
- Pair Echo Sub with two identical Echo devices for rich left / right stereo sound.
- Easy to set up and use - just plug in Echo Sub, open the app Alexa and connect Echo Sub to one or more Echo devices to control your music with a simple voice command.
What there is to know :
Echo Sub must be paired with a compatible Echo device. To get optimal left / right sound, you need to pair Echo Sub with two devices Echo (2th generation) or two devices Echo Plus (2nd generation). The use of Echo Sub is not optimized for other Echo devices or devices with Alexa built-in, and does not support video playback.

Hi
When I want to set up stereo on my Amazon Echo and my echo dot I follow the instructions, My app tells me: "no compatible speaker found".

Hello,
This is normal, it is only possible to configure the stereo on two compatible devices: 2 x Echo 2nd generation or 2 x Echo Plus 2nd generation.

Hello, on the other hand I find it a shame that the stereo is not available in the other skills than the music application ofamazon. It is not possible to listen to the radio in stereo and Alexa do not answer in Stereo ... Amazon still has a way to go
It is true, Alexa Still has a long way to go, but we must admit that we have regularly new features and improvements since its release, which is more than encouraging. Its competitors are not evolving so noticeably. 🙂
no way to listen to the radio on an echo plus and send it to a dot echo in another room
Yes, we have to create a group for that.
Stereo association is only possible with 2nd generation or also 3rd generation?
With the second generation, like the third, this is possible but only with pairs of identical devices. For example, we can combine two Echo 2 or two Echo Plus 2. 🙂
Stereo only works with Amazon music paid version?
No, stereo mode works with all music services offered.
Hello everyone, brand new to the field ofAlexa , I am interested today in stereo sound and I want to invest in a 2nd Echo2.
I ask myself 2 or 3 questions.
My current echo 2 is equipped with a battery to be able to take the echo in the garden for example.
If I leave the house with it, what will happen if it is no longer connected to the other?
Will they reconnect on their own when I get home?
If I am outside with the one on battery, will it be possible for the other to work independently at this time, to listen to different music for example?
Thank you in advance in any case for your feedback and your help on this subject.
Have a good day
Hello,
If the speakers are associated for stereo sound, then no, it is impossible to listen to different music: one will be assigned to the left, the other to the right.
The distance, however, risks causing them to lose their connectivity with each other, making them de facto become independent again, but the return should logically see them re-associate.
Have a good day too
Hello, thank you for your quick feedback, so if I want that when I leave the house with the one on battery and the other can work independently with the music for example, I must not install the 2 echoes in stereo mode , but rather in multiroom or other way of connection that I do not know yet?
No problem for the stereo because I imagine that the sound will be better in my large room with 2 echo
Thank you
Hello,
i just connected my second echo plus, but it is impossible for me to have stereo. I only have the multiroom. I have tried several times to create a group but the app cannot find a device.
Did I miss a step or do something wrong?
Thank you for your reply . And live Alexa !!!!
Hello,
Do your speakers have the same firmware?
Sorry but I am a novice: what is firmware?
You just have to create a speaker group, in the application under devices / echo Alexa/ speaker group
Hello. I have 2 3rd generation dot echo and an iPhone. I want to listen to music from my iPhone in stereo; how to do ? I can choose one or the other of the echo dots but not in stereo.
Hello,
This is normal, the stereo only works with the integrated music services, not in Bluetooth.
Have a good day
Hello
I have two Echo in stereo. in music it works well.
On the other hand, when I speak to a Alexa the answer comes only from a device. No stereo so if I ask a question to Alexa.
is this normal?
can I configure to have stereo all the time?
please
Hello,
Yes, this is completely normal, it does with all models, even on Echo Studio.
Unfortunately, we do not have a solution to date since there is no configuration possible from this point of view. Hope thatAmazon will do something about it!
Good night
Hi
I already have 1 echo in the house, I bought another to put elsewhere in the house.
The current subscription is 3.99 / month. Do I need a new subscription?
please
Hello,
Yes, the € 3.99 subscription is linked to a single Echo or Fire device ...
You can find the details of the offers here: Which offer to choose for Amazon Echo?
Have a good day
Hello I connected my two Amazon Echo 4 in stereo. The sound is fine in stereo but the speaker on the right is louder than the one on the left. Do you know why?
Another question. Is it possible to use the two echo 4 in stereo on a pc, whether wired or bluetooth? I wish I could have stereo sound on my pc
Hello,
Have you created a "speaker pair" in the application Alexa? Because this happens if you simply do a multiroom, otherwise the two Echo 4 will synchronize at the same volume even if you manually press the buttons of only one ... For the rest, we have not had the opportunity to test this configuration, but you must be able to broadcast in Bluetooth on the speaker pair or use a 3.5 mm splitter.
Good Sunday
Hello, I have tried everything to put the two Echos 4 in stereo and flop, the sound only comes out of a single speaker except when you reverse Left and Right, both speak but in music nothing, there is no that from which the sound comes out (always the same), they are configured as a stereo pair in a group. I tried to put them in multiroom same result, however both can give sound. I selected “always” for where the music comes from when I'm in a room. I don't know what else to do, do you have any idea?
Hello,
The procedure followed seems correct… What music source do you use?
Hello, I used Amazon music, I don't understand and I feel like I'm the only one with this problem.
Youhou, I succeeded! I unplugged everything and started from scratch, I have the stereo 🙂
Hello,
So much the better ! Indeed, it was the first time we heard about it. However, in the event of a crash, it is best to restart everything. 🙂
