Advancing Smart Home Audio into a Truly Interoperable Era
OpenAudio today announced that its multi-room streaming amplifier lineup has officially achieved Matter certification, becoming one of the first professional multi-room amplifier brands worldwide to reach this milestone.
This achievement marks a significant step forward not only for OpenAudio, but for the evolution of smart home audio systems. It signals the transition from fragmented compatibility to standardized, cross-platform interoperability across the global smart home ecosystem.
From Compatibility to Native Integration
Matter represents a unifying standard for smart home communication. However, in the audio sector, few brands have successfully combined high-performance multi-room amplification with deep smart home integration.
OpenAudio engineered its platform from the ground up with:
- Native network architecture
- Multi-zone synchronized playback
- High-bandwidth streaming capability
- Cross-ecosystem smart home compatibility
Matter certification is not an add-on feature. It is the result of long-term architectural planning and ecosystem strategy.
Seamless Integration Across Major Smart Home Platforms
With Matter certification, OpenAudio products integrate seamlessly into leading smart home ecosystems, including:
- Apple Home
- Google Home
- Amazon Alexa
- Samsung SmartThings
Users no longer need to choose between premium audio performance and ecosystem flexibility.
OpenAudio allows multi-room audio to become a fully integrated component of whole-home automation — not an isolated device.
This enables:
- Scene-based audio automation
- Cross-device synchronization
- Unified voice control
- Stable multi-brand collaboration
- Smart integration with lighting, climate, security, and media systems
Beyond Certification: Driving Industry-Level Interoperability
Matter certification represents more than compliance. It demonstrates:
- Alignment with international standards
- Commitment to open ecosystem collaboration
- Long-term upgrade capability for evolving protocols
- Future-proof system design
OpenAudio continues to work closely with global ecosystem partners to ensure stable, low-latency, high-performance audio integration within the unified smart home framework.
We believe intelligent homes are built on system integration — not device accumulation.
Network-Native Architecture for the Next Generation
Unlike legacy AV systems built around proprietary interfaces and isolated hardware models, OpenAudio adopts a network-native design philosophy:
- High-bandwidth IP-based transmission
- Native streaming decoding
- Multi-room distributed architecture
- Over-the-air firmware upgrade capability
As smart home standards evolve, OpenAudio remains adaptable, expandable, and future-ready.
Redefining the Role of Multi-Room Audio in Smart Homes
Traditionally, multi-room amplifiers were peripheral components of AV systems.
Today, they serve as the audio backbone of intelligent homes.
By achieving Matter certification, OpenAudio reinforces a fundamental shift:
Multi-room streaming amplification is no longer an accessory — it is a central pillar of the modern smart home.
Conclusion
As Matter reshapes the global smart home landscape, OpenAudio stands at the forefront of this transformation.
As one of the first Matter-certified multi-room streaming amplifier brands, OpenAudio continues to advance open architecture, premium audio engineering, and ecosystem integration — driving the industry toward a truly interoperable future.
