Smart Speaker’s high powered audio fills the room with immersive sound,

What can my speaker do?

To get the most from the SL-V speaker, however, there are two Apps to give
you whole-home audio, access to Alexa skills like home control, control over
your music library, and much more—the possibilities are virtually endless!
