We're big admirers of Bluesound's hi-res multi-room audio system, and soon owners will get an upgrade to enable Google Assistant on their audio kit.

The update, due around 8th October, can be applied to any BluOS-enabled products, including those from NAD and Dali. It will bring voice control of their systems from any Google Home device, such as a Google Home or Google Home Mini.

Products that will receive the update include Bluesound’s multi-room portfolio, the Dali Callisto active speakers and NAD’s compatible players and amplifier, including the just-announced NAD flagship T 778 AV receiver.
