Speaking of smart speakers, the impression in everyone’s mind may be that the function is novel, but the sound quality is mediocre. The output of the traditional audio manufacturers gives everyone the impression that they focus on sound quality, but they seem to be immune to fashionable features, even if there are some Smart, but its function is not very grounded, and it is expensive. Harman Kardon, as a traditional world-class audio brand, launched this smart speaker called Allure, built-in Tencent cloud micro-services, this time, we take a look at whether the function and sound quality can have both. 
Exterior
The overall appearance of the main black tone, the overall line is very simple, is a narrow wide cylinder, it seems kind of a real feeling.
The top is the speaker's control panel, with touch design, there is no physical buttons can be pressed, the button periphery has a circle of 360-degree circular light band, there are red and blue colors, can be displayed through a variety of colors and dynamic combinations of speakers The various states.
The upper part of the speaker is made of transparent material. The inside of the cavity can be seen through this cover plate. The material is not glass, but is a material similar to acrylic, but it feels smooth and feels smooth. Feeling, but this piece of material does not perform as well as it does on the hardness. In normal use, care must be taken not to bump into the effort. After all, a good-looking design can be a bad idea.
When working in the speaker, there will be changes in the light, quite texture design. At the same time, Allure also has a lot of weight. It also determines that the most suitable use scenario for Allure is not to carry it around, but to place it in a relatively fixed place such as a home or an office. Fortunately, Allure's size is fairly suitable, and its appearance is very good. The texture is a very beautiful decoration on the coffee table or desk.
The lower part is the main unit of the speaker. Surrounded by a grid of material, the interior has a dust-proof net. In the lower part, the speaker system consisting of three 38mm full-range units and one 90mm woofer unit is still quite large in this small speaker.
There is also a power connector and reset button at the bottom of the speaker. This is the only interface and physical button on the entire speaker. Some users may be crazy, the entire speaker in addition to the power connector and no other wired interface, including the audio interface is not, but this is actually not a big problem on Allure, as for the reason, and see below.
Functional experience
Harman Kardon Allure's domestic sales version is based on the Tencent cloud micro-platform to run, the above mentioned that the speaker itself does not have any audio input interface, then where did the sound source come from? The key to the answer is Tencent’s cloud micro. Allure connects to Tencent’s cloud micro-clients in mobile phones to connect with Tencent’s huge content resources and enables Tencent’s cloud micro to implement many functions beyond playing music.
It is not difficult to connect with Allure. Follow the instructions to download and open the app. Turn on the phone's wifi and Bluetooth, plug it into Allure, connect wifi, and log in to Tencent Cloud. This will enter Tencent's cloud. Microsystem, then you can enjoy the powerful content resources of Tencent platform. As a smart speaker, the function of playing music needless to say, I would like to hear what a "hey! Little micro", tell Xiaowei on the line, Xiaowei can find what you want to hear through the Internet, or you are in the QQ Music collected in music.
With Tencent Cloud's blessing, Allure is no longer a simple smart speaker, it is more like a smart terminal sets the shell of a speaker. Through voice commands, not only can the audio player play such a simple function, but also can interact with various smart devices, through Allure to achieve the control of these devices, such as smart air conditioners, curtains, sockets, smart light bulbs, etc. A small-scale "Internet of Things" is implemented at home.
These only need to use "Yao! Xiaowei" voice commands to activate Tencent cloud micro, and then say your instructions, Xiao Wei will be able to help you reach. For example, if you want to understand the weather today, you just say to Allure: "Hey! Little, what's the weather like today?" Xiao Wei will check today's weather conditions and broadcast it through Allure. Of course, you can also chat with Xiao Wei. It is found that Xiao Wei’s answer to information questions is better. Basically it is possible to answer questions correctly and answer accurately, but it is still difficult to do daily ridicule. This is also the current type of products. One of the bottlenecks.
The actual experience, the small micro-voice recognition response speed is relatively fast, do not have to deliberately correct the accent and increase the volume, but also can accurately identify the voice instructions, Allure internal four with noise reduction microphone technology contributed, but There are no other language options at this time, and you can only speak Mandarin with a small user. We were also in the office and we tested the call to Xiaowei at different distances to see if we could respond normally.
It's no problem to get close to the speaker called Xiao Wei.
Slightly further away, about 4 meters away, normal voice, no problem.
Farther away to a distance of about 6 meters, the normal speaking volume, Xiao Wei can hear you call her. The identification of commonly used instructions is also more accurate and can basically meet practical requirements. What's a little bit regrettable is that if you pause for a long time during the instruction, Xiao Wei can't recognize it consistently and you may need to repeat the instruction.
In general, the experience of using AI is much different from that of previous products. Take the evaluation of Xiaomi as an example. With accurate speech recognition, you can release your hands, and you can operate with your hands. At the same time, Xiaowei backs Tencent's large amount of content resources to meet the vast majority of users' needs.
Sound quality
With the Harman Kardon brand, that sound quality is the topic that has to be said. In the past, speaker products often entered a vicious circle, and products with excellent functional experience would be compromised in terms of sound quality. However, products that focus on sound quality often do not care much about the trendy smart experience, but Harman Kardon Allure, It seems to tell consumers that traditional audio manufacturers can also make a difference in smart speaker products.
From the hardware point of view, the sounding part of Harman Kardon Allure is composed of three 38mm full-range speakers and a 90mm subwoofer. The actual sense of hearing is really good, the bass is powerful, the voice is very clear, and when listening to male and female bass, With the subwoofer effect, the sound of the sound can be well expressed.
The volume can be adjusted in a wide range, with a little body and big energy feeling, and it can control the distortion to a small degree in each volume position.
to sum up
Harman Caton Allure Music Amber is an important exploration made by Harman Kardon on the smart terminal. It combines Harman's excellent audio equipment technology with the emerging AI, breaking the stereotype of traditional speaker products. Through its combination of audio product manufacturing technology and AI technology, we have created a smart speaker product that emphasizes sound quality and follows the AI ​​trend. It can be said that this product is not only attractive but also highly connotative.
