WAKE Amp is a small amplifier that fits into a single gang electrical box that provides hard buttons for direct control of your music, and pairs to voice assistants using commercial-grade Bluetooth for a strong signal and enhanced range. Once paired, everyone in the family can use their voice to start music with ease, reducing the complexity of living with a smarter audio system. Our partners can breathe life into older audio systems by simply replacing in-wall analog volume controls with the WAKE Amp - with its small form factor, it's easy to retrofit using existing wiring. And for new installs, the WAKE amp can be used to break down the barrier of an intimidating audio system, making customers feel more comfortable with their system and increasing satisfaction after the install.
