Apple HomePod

The Apple HomePod smart speaker for home is notable for the fact that it uses spatial orientation technology — the musical gadget can adjust the sound, starting from the volume of the room and its location in it(on a pedestal, in a corner, on a shelf, etc.) .

Voice control

Automatic sound optimization uses 6 built-in microphones, which are used to study the reflection of sound waves in a room. They are also designed to implement the function of voice control of the speaker and communication with the voice assistant Siri. The manufacturer promises that the user's commands are correctly recognized by the system even at the maximum volume of music playback and there is no reason not to believe him.

surround sound

The structure of the mini-system includes 7 multidirectional speakers and a subwoofer, providing a surround sound speaker. For sound processing, as well as for the operation of the software platform, the Apple A8 chip, familiar to the general public from the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus smartphones, is responsible.

Intelligence

The model is synchronized with the Apple Music service. Moreover, in addition to playing tracks, it analyzes the musical tastes of its owner and periodically invites him to get acquainted with new compositions of his favorite genres of music. Another important intellectual component of the speaker is support for voice control of Apple HomeKit smart home components. That's just most of the voice functions are implemented in English. However, why is this not an incentive to start studying it more closely? ..
