The new sound of home.
HomePod is a powerful speaker that sounds amazing and adapts to wherever
it’s playing. It’s the ultimate music authority, bringing together Apple
Music and Siri to learn your taste in music. It’s also an intelligent home
assistant, capable of handling everyday tasks — and controlling your smart
home. HomePod takes the listening experience to a whole new level. And
that’s just the beginning.
A breakthrough speaker all around.
We completely reimagined how music should sound in the home. HomePod combines
Apple-engineered audio technology and advanced software to deliver the
highest-fidelity sound throughout the room, anywhere it’s placed. This
elegantly designed, compact speaker totally rocks the house.
Deep bass. Engineered to lower the boom.
We built the high-excursion woofer with a custom amplifier to play a wide range
of deep, rich bass. A powerful motor drives the diaphragm a full 20 mm —
remarkable for a speaker this size. Meanwhile, HomePod uses an advanced
algorithm that continuously analyzes the music and dynamically tunes the low
frequencies for smooth, immersive sound.
Seven tweeters. Amazing sound from every angle.
HomePod has a unique array of seven beamforming tweeters. Each with its own
amplifier and transducer. And each custom designed with a precision acoustic
horn that focuses sound for tremendous directional control. Creating an
all-encompassing sense of space — and consistent, high-fidelity audio
everywhere in the room.
A8 chip. – The biggest brain ever in a speaker.
An Apple-designed A8 chip powers the most complex audio innovations in HomePod.
Like real-time modeling of the woofer mechanics. Buffering that’s even faster
than real time. Upmixing of both direct and ambient audio. Beamforming so the
microphone can hear you over the music. And advanced echo cancellation. So you
get amazing sound without even thinking about it.
Beautiful design with a purpose.
HomePod is wrapped in a seamless mesh fabric designed for both aesthetic and
acoustic performance. Available in white and space gray, it’s gorgeous from
every angle — yet virtually transparent to the music. And at just under seven
inches tall, it can fit anywhere in your home.
It’s easier than easy. It’s automatic.
Setting up HomePod is quick and magical. Simply plug it in and your iOS device
will detect it. Equipped with spatial awareness, HomePod automatically adjusts
to give you optimal sound — wherever it’s placed. It can even hear your
requests from across the room while loud songs are playing. All you need to do
is enjoy your music.
Responds to your voice. And your touch.
Tap the top of HomePod to play, pause, skip a song, or adjust the volume. Touch
and hold the top to talk to Siri. You’ll know Siri is listening by the LED
waveform that animates with your every word.
