Yamaha brings Alexa control to MusicCast multi-room system

Yamaha Music Europe has announced that users will be able to control its MusicCast multiroom system via Alexa devices from Q3 of 2017 onward.

Yamaha will release a firmware update for over 40 products (including AV receivers, sound bars and streaming speakers) in its MusicCase line up allowing user to distribute music throughout their home via voice control of Amazon Alexa devices.

An Alexa skill offering further support for MusicCast will also be released later this year.

The Echo Dot can currently be paired with any MusicCast wireless speaker via its Bluetooth output (saying the trigger phrase “Alexa, connect”), allowing sounds from the device to be played on a single MusicCast device, or several devices using the MusicCast app.
