There are also four microphones for far-field Siri access and support for spatial audio with Dolby Atmos. Design-wise, the new speaker looks a lot like the original.
In a nutshell: Apple has announced an updated version of its HomePod smart speaker set to launch early next month. The second-generation HomePod features a high-excursion, 4-inch woofer with 20mm of travel alongside an array of five horn-loaded tweeters (each with its own neodymium magnet) and an internal low-frequency calibration microphone for automatic bass correction.
There are also four microphones for far-field Siri access and support for spatial audio with Dolby Atmos. Design-wise, the new speaker looks a lot like the original with acoustically transparent mesh fabric and a backlit touch surface on top.
