DTS PLAY-FI ADDS ALEXA SKILLS TO YET MORE BRANDS
DTS has announced that DTS Play-Fi-enabled products are now available with Alexa functionality in France, Canada, Australia, Japan and India.
Additionally, DTS Play-Fi has further expanded its lineup of Works with Alexa certified products to include models from MartinLogan, Paradigm and Anthem.
Works with Alexa allows you to control audio playback on an Alexa compatible DTS Play-Fi product from another room using an Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show or other Alexa-enabled devices.
All you have to do is link your Amazon account to a compatible DTS Play-Fi product, and Alexa will know the speaker by name. Furthermore, this skill will enable you to use voice commands to ask Alexa to play a song in a specific room or a group of rooms that have been linked, adjust volume, skip the track forward, mute, pause, stop the music and more.
Once music has started playing from an Alexa command, the DTS Play-Fi app can then be used to add more products into the streaming session dynamically.
You can link other DTS Play-Fi-compatible speakers to your Works with Alexa certified DTS Play-Fi device, and use Alexa commands to the primary component to control playback across all connected devices.
New DTS Play-Fi products that have received the certification include:
- Anthem MRX 720 A/V receiver
- Anthem MRX 1120 A/V receiver
- MartinLogan Bravado speaker
- MartinLogan Cadence sound bar
- MartinLogan Crescendo X speaker
- MartinLogan Forte amplifier
- MartinLogan Motion Vision X sound bar
- MartinLogan Unison pre-amp
- Paradigm PW 600 speaker
- Paradigm PW 800 speaker
- Paradigm PW Amp amplifier

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
