DTS Launches Amazon Alexa-Enabled Phorus Speaker

Calabasas-based DTS has launched a new, Amazon Alexa-enabled, whole home speaker called the Phorus PS10, the company said Monday morning. DTS said the speaker is the first in its line of Play-Fi speakers to support the Amazon Alexa Voice Service, allowing users to access information, play music, and control other home automation devices just like you can with the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot. The Phorus PS10 will retail for $249, and is currently available through the Phorus website and Amazon. DTS offers up its Phorus devices both directly, as well as licenses those designs and technology to third-party brands. The Phorus speakers can connect into a network of other, Phorus-technology powered speakers, and also supports control via Android, iOS, and Kindle apps.
