Smart speaker is the product of speaker upgrade, and it is a tool for home consumers to access the Internet by voice, such as ordering songs, online shopping, or understanding the weather forecast.

You can also control other household appliances. In addition to listening, smart speakers can also be used as control terminals to control other smart home devices, such as doors and windows, televisions, lighting, air conditioners, washing machines and other household items.

Extended data The world's earliest multimedia speaker (multimedia? Speaker), is it ALTEC? Blue Star, Chinese name Aote Blue Star, produced in 199 1.

Speaking of it, Aote Bluestar, as the first brand of global multimedia speakers, is really embarrassed in the China market. This summer, Aote Bluestar officially entered China (the products in the domestic market are actually operated by Aote Bluestar's Hong Kong agents).

China Asia Office was established in Shanghai, but it hasn't done well in the past six months. There is not much room for him to enter the highly competitive domestic market. However, Aote Bluestar is really a blockbuster in the Greater China market outside Hong Kong and Taiwan.

There should be information about this box in my hometown, but I really can't remember the real name of this box now.

China market is interested in multimedia speakers (multimedia? Speaker) follow up, soon. This is related to SB sound card entering China. Comparatively speaking, ADLIB sound card has never officially entered China, but soon after SB sound card came out, people introduced parallel imports to China, and of course the price was very high.

Formal licensed products will wait until a few years later, and the joint venture company "Chuangtong" established by Innovation and Stone no longer exists.

At that time, innovations were being carried out everywhere. Chinese mainland was "Chuangtong" and Taiwan Province Province was "Chuangju". However, although the domestic speaker manufacturing industry had begun to take shape at that time, those HIFI speaker companies that made a lot of money did not pay attention to the emerging small market of multimedia.

Basically, it is dismissive, which is in stark contrast to the current HIFI enterprises sharpening their heads and drilling in. At that time, the pioneers who entered this market were mostly unknown small enterprises. However, most of these initial prophets later became martyrs.

China, the originator of multimedia speakers, is neither a rambler in full swing now, nor the first light cavalry to make wooden speakers. But two companies that many people don't remember now-Shanghai Dibo and Beijing National. ?

Both companies started producing multimedia speakers from the end of 1992 to the beginning of 1993. So why did you say that China multimedia speakers have been used for fifteen years now? The two companies didn't talk much about industrial design at that time, and the shapes of their products were mostly imitated by well-known foreign products.

However, at that time, domestic HIFI was in the ascendant, speaker products were in full swing, and there were really many good things. And interestingly, from the beginning, the ancestors of the two schools showed different styles.
