Legato Leads the Revolution, OpenAudio Anchors New Coordinates for Technical Implementation
In early 2025, coinciding with the critical node of the Matter 1.5 update, the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) officially confirmed the launch of the development of a new streaming speaker device type and supporting control specifications under the Matter protocol, while simultaneously disclosing the latest developments of the CSA Alliance. The key leader of this initiative is Dutch startup Legato, and the news that Legato leads Matter Audio standard development has also been clearly confirmed by the CSA official. Founded by former Sonos and Apple engineers, Legato’s move not only fills the core gap in audio streaming transmission for Matter but also sounds the clarion call for the smart speaker industry to break ecological fragmentation, injecting new momentum into the current progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
In this revolution that concerns the future of the industry, Legato is not alone. As a core player in the smart home audio field, OpenAudio is deeply engaged in OpenAudio Matter adaptation, focusing on technology research and development and product implementation. It deeply participates in the industrial adaptation of the Matter audio standard, serving as a key bridge connecting “standard formulation” and “market application”. From the rule definition led by Legato, to the technical implementation promoted by OpenAudio, and the official endorsement by the CSA, a full-chain revolution centered on the Matter Audio Standard and aligned with the trend of the Matter 1.5 update is reshaping the competitive logic and development pattern of the smart speaker industry, and also providing a clear path for the Matter adaptation progress of many speaker manufacturers.
I. Industry Dilemma: Matter’s “Audio Gap” and the “Walled Gardens” of Ecosystem Giants
Since its inception, the Matter protocol has always taken “unifying the smart home ecosystem” as its core mission. Continuously improved with the Matter 1.5 update, it has successfully connected cross-brand devices in categories such as lighting, security, and home appliances. However, for smart speakers, a core entry-level product, Matter has long been in an awkward situation of “semi-compatibility” — speakers are only defined as “Matter controllers”, which can control other smart devices but cannot achieve cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers. This gap has also become a key optimization direction highlighted in the latest developments of the CSA Alliance, and even the core pain point in the current progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
Behind this gap are the “walled gardens” built by the three major ecosystem giants: Apple, Google, and Amazon. Core speaker products such as HomePod, Echo, and Nest are all bound to their own ecosystem services. When users buy a speaker of a certain brand, they are forced to access the corresponding ecosystem and cannot achieve cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers. Third-party audio brands such as Sonos and Bose, although having advantages in sound quality, have to pay high licensing fees to access closed-source protocols, falling into the dilemma of “high adaptation costs and few ecosystem choices”, which also restricts the overall progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
For users, the consumption logic of “buying a speaker = choosing an ecosystem” makes multi-brand device collaboration an illusion, preventing them from enjoying the convenience of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers. For the industry, ecological barriers have replaced product strength as the core competitiveness, seriously inhibiting innovation vitality and slowing down the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. Filling the technical gap in Matter audio transmission, improving the Matter Audio Standard, breaking ecological fragmentation, and realizingcross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers have become urgent needs of the entire industry — this demand is also the core original intention of the CSA to launch the development of a new standard and promote the Matter 1.5 update, as well as the core driving force for Legato to lead Matter audio research and development and OpenAudio to deepen OpenAudio Matter adaptation.
II. Legato’s Breakthrough: Leading Standard Definition and Building a Cross-Ecosystem Audio Underlying Framework
As a Dutch startup founded by former Sonos and Apple engineers, Legato has become the leader of the CSA Matter Audio Casting Working Group with its profound industry accumulation. Legato leads Matter Audio research and development, closely aligning with the trend of the Matter 1.5 update. Its core mission is to build an open-source, royalty-free, local transmission cross-ecosystem audio underlying framework, solve the problem of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, and accelerate the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. The research and development of this new Matter Audio Standard has also received clear support and confirmation from the CSA official, and has been simultaneously included in the key promotion directions of the latest developments of the CSA Alliance.
(I) Core of the Standard: Three Key Designs to Break Barriers
The new Matter audio standard led by Legato has built three core capabilities around “cross-ecosystem compatibility”, closely aligning with the core direction of “strengthening audio interaction” in the Matter 1.5 update. The core details of these capabilities were disclosed by Fiede Schillmoeller, CEO of Legato, to The Verge. Fiede Schillmoeller also mentioned that this standard will greatly promote the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. According to Fiede Schillmoeller, after the Matter Audio Standard is implemented, it will completely realize cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, achieving the core goal of “playing music from any Matter-enabled app to any Matter-enabled speaker”, completely free from brand and ecosystem restrictions. At the same time, through a dual-protocol architecture where UDP is used for audio streaming transmission and TCP for control command transmission, the synchronization delay in multi-room playback can be controlled within 50 milliseconds, natively supporting group playback to achieve commercial-grade audio experience, while simultaneously adapting to the technical requirements of the Matter 1.5 update.
More importantly, Chris LaPré — Chief Technology Officer of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), which is responsible for operating the Matter protocol — also confirmed the research and development progress of this Matter Audio Standard to The Verge, while disclosing the latest developments of the CSA Alliance. He clearly stated that “a new streaming speaker device type and related control specifications are under development”. Chris LaPré emphasized that this standard is an important supplement to the Matter 1.5 update, which will focus on solving the pain point ofcross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers and accelerating the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. Chris LaPré further added that this new device type will give full play to the device-to-device communication advantages of the Matter protocol, allowing speakers to no longer be limited to music playback, but to become “ambient information hubs” for smart homes, improving the full-scenario interaction capabilities of the Matter 1.5 version.
As Fiede Schillmoeller emphasized, as an important part of the Matter protocol and a core extension of the Matter 1.5 update, future Matter-enabled speakers will be able to use the device-to-device communication capabilities built into the standard to send voice alerts to users when someone rings the doorbell, notify users when the laundry is done, or sound alarms when a smoke detector is triggered, truly realizing the in-depth integration of “audio + smart home”. All of this is based on the technical support of Legato leading Matter Audio research and development, which will also further reduce the difficulty of OpenAudio Matter adaptation for manufacturers such as OpenAudio, and promote the overall acceleration of the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
(II) Key Boundary: The “Controller Positioning” of Ecosystem Giants
It is worth noting that in their interviews, both Chris LaPré and Fiede Schillmoeller implicitly mentioned the key boundary for the implementation of the Matter Audio Standard, while simultaneously linking to the latest developments of the CSA Alliance and the Matter 1.5 update plan — at this stage, flagship speakers of ecosystem giants such as HomePod, Echo, and Nest are only temporarily defined as “Matter controllers” and are not included in the new “streaming speaker device type”. This design is not only to promote the rapid implementation of the Matter Audio Standard and reduce the resistance of ecosystem giants but also reflects the wait-and-see attitude of the three major giants towards ecological openness, which indirectly affects the overall progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers and is also a key issue that needs to be balanced in the process of Legato leading Matter Audio research and development.
Fiede Schillmoeller admitted that Legato’s short-term goal is not to force ecosystem giants to open their core products, but to rely on the industry popularity of the Matter 1.5 update to first cooperate with third-party brands such as Sonos, Bose, and OpenAudio to complete the industrial adaptation of the Matter Audio Standard, help these manufacturers improve the efficiency of OpenAudio Matter adaptation (and adaptation of similar brands), realize the implementation of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers functions, form a large-scale market pattern, and then force ecosystem giants to make changes through user demand, gradually breaking the existing ecological barriers and promoting the overall acceleration of the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
(III) Business Positioning: The Role of “Service Provider” for Standard Implementation
Different from the “ecosystem binding” logic of ecosystem giants and the “product implementation” positioning of OpenAudio, Legato has not engaged in hardware research and development, but has positioned itself as a “service provider for standard implementation”, focusing on the industrial promotion of the Matter Audio Standard led by Legato and helping to accelerate the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. Fiede Schillmoeller introduced that Legato’s core value lies in providing standardized reference implementation solutions, software licensing, and compatible chipsets for global speaker manufacturers, greatly reducing the cost and threshold for manufacturers to adapt to the Matter Audio Standard, helping manufacturers quickly realize the cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers function, while adapting to the requirements of the Matter 1.5 update, and also providing technical support for the adaptation work of third-party manufacturers such as OpenAudio Matter adaptation.
According to his disclosure, compared with accessing closed-source protocols such as AirPlay and Chromecast, the adaptation solution provided by Legato can reduce the licensing and development costs of manufacturers by more than 60%. This advantage will greatly attract small and medium-sized speaker manufacturers to join, quickly expand the market coverage of the Matter Audio Standard, and simultaneously promote the acceleration of the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers, helping more manufacturers seize the industry opportunity of the Matter 1.5 update and realize the implementation of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers functions.
III. OpenAudio’s Practice: Anchoring Technical Implementation and Building a Benchmark for Matter Audio Products
If Legato is the “rule maker” of the Matter Audio Standard, Fiede Schillmoeller is the “communicator” of standard concepts, and Chris LaPré is the “official endorser” for standard promotion, thenOpenAudio is the “core practitioner” of this standard. It is deeply engaged in OpenAudio Matter adaptation, closely aligning with the trend of the Matter 1.5 update, and helping to implement the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. As a brand deeply engaged in the smart home audio field, OpenAudio takes the Matter protocol as the core, combines its technical accumulation in multi-zone audio equipment research and development, deeply participates in the industrial adaptation of the Matter Audio Standard, and transforms the framework formulated by Legato and the technical direction confirmed by Chris LaPré into implementable products and solutions, realizing the cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers function, becoming a benchmark for industrial technical implementation, and also providing a reference for the Matter adaptation work of other manufacturers.
(I) Technical Adaptation: Three Layers of Breakthroughs from Standard to Product
OpenAudio’s core work is to solve the problem of transforming the Matter Audio Standard from “paper rules” to “product experience”. Focusing on the “new device type” requirements confirmed by Chris LaPré, the “cross-ecosystem, low-latency” core goals disclosed by Fiede Schillmoeller, and aligning with the technical specifications of the Matter 1.5 update, it has deeply engaged in OpenAudio Matter adaptation, completed three key technical breakthroughs, helped realize cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, and also provided a technical model for the progress of Matter adaptation for other speaker manufacturers:
- In-depth Protocol Compatibility: Based on Legato’s reference implementation, it optimizes the localized adaptation of the Matter Audio Cluster, strictly follows the technical specifications formulated by the CSA, aligns with the requirements of the Matter 1.5 update, completes the full-chain docking with the Matter 1.2+ protocol, ensures that the product can be identified and controlled by all Matter apps, and lays a solid technical foundation for cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers. For multi-zone audio scenarios, OpenAudio reconstructs the device discovery and connection logic, and realizes millisecond-level cross-room device identification through the Matter DNS-SD service discovery mechanism, which is consistent with the “true multi-zone experience” demand proposed by Fiede Schillmoeller, also improves the core capabilities of OpenAudio Matter adaptation, and provides a reference for the progress of Matter adaptation for other speaker manufacturers.
- Audio Experience Optimization: Combining its advantages in audio processing technology, it optimizes the decoding algorithm and anti-interference capability for the audio streaming transmission characteristics of the Matter Audio Standard, aligning with the requirement of “improving audio transmission stability” in the Matter 1.5 update. On the basis of UDP audio streaming transmission, it adds an adaptive bit rate adjustment function, which automatically switches between PCM/AAC encoding according to network conditions, solving the problems of stuttering and audio interruption in weak network environments, and controlling the actual synchronization delay within 30 milliseconds, which is better than the 50-millisecond target mentioned by Fiede Schillmoeller, fulfilling the “commercial-grade experience” requirement emphasized by Chris LaPré, further improving the effect of OpenAudio Matter adaptation, ensuring the smooth experience of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, and providing a quality reference for the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
- Product-Side Scenario Implementation: Focusing on core multi-zone audio scenarios, it launches a series of products based on the Matter Audio Standard, closely aligning with the full-scenario adaptation trend of the Matter 1.5 update, deeply engaging in OpenAudio Matter adaptation, and realizing the implementation of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers functions. From single-room smart speakers to multi-zone audio power amplifiers, OpenAudio adopts a “Bridge architecture” — encapsulating each audio zone as an independent Matter Bridged Device, realizing independent control and group synchronization of each zone, which perfectly conforms to the core requirement of “true multi-zone experience” in the Legato standard, and also echoes the “cross-brand, cross-scenario adaptation” concept mentioned by Fiede Schillmoeller, providing a product implementation model for the progress of Matter adaptation for other speaker manufacturers.
(II) Ecosystem Collaboration: Connecting the Entire Chain of “App-Device-User”
OpenAudio deeply understands that the “cross-ecosystem compatibility” advocated by Chris LaPré and Fiede Schillmoeller cannot be achieved by a single product, but requires the joint efforts of the entire industrial chain. It is also the key to promoting the implementation of the Matter Audio Standard, accelerating the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers, and even the core extension of OpenAudio Matter adaptation work. To this end, relying on the industry popularity of the Matter 1.5 update, it has carried out two core tasks to help the comprehensive implementation of thecross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers function:
First, Upstream App Docking: It takes the initiative to cooperate with mainstream music platforms such as Spotify and NetEase Cloud Music, as well as smart home apps such as Apple Home and Home Assistant, to complete the integration test of the Matter Audio Casting API, aligning with the ecosystem collaboration requirements of the Matter 1.5 update, ensuring that users can seamlessly cast screens to OpenAudio devices through any mainstream app, truly implementing the “controlling any Matter speaker from any Matter app” mentioned by Fiede Schillmoeller, improving the full-chain experience of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, also expanding the ecological boundary of OpenAudio Matter adaptation, and promoting ecosystem collaboration in the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
Second, Downstream User Empowerment: It launches differentiated solutions for developers and ordinary users to help popularize the Matter Audio Standard and accelerate the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. For smart home developers, OpenAudio opens a device development kit based on the Matter protocol, combining its own OpenAudio Matter adaptation experience, reducing the research and development threshold of multi-zone audio equipment, helping more manufacturers join the Matter audio ecosystem, echoing the goal of the CSA and Chris LaPré to “promote the large-scale implementation of the standard”, and aligning with the industrialization promotion direction of the Matter 1.5 update. For ordinary users, its products support “zero-threshold network configuration”, are compatible with the native Matter network configuration process, and can complete device addition through the smart terminals of ecosystem giants without additional apps, improving user experience and promoting the user popularization of the cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers function.
(III) Differentiated Advantages: Stepping Out of “Sound Quality Involution” and Focusing on “Scenario Innovation”
Under the unified framework built by the Matter Audio Standard led by Legato and guided by the “scenario integration” direction emphasized by Chris LaPré, OpenAudio relies on the core advantages of OpenAudio Matter adaptation, aligns with the scenario-based needs of the Matter 1.5 update, and does not fall into simple “sound quality involution”. Instead, it combines its own technical accumulation to create scenario-based differentiated advantages. Relying on the device linkage capabilities of the Matter protocol, OpenAudio has launched an integrated “audio + smart home” scenario solution — for example, when a Matter door lock detects a user’s return, it automatically triggers the OpenAudio speaker to play preset music; when a smoke alarm goes off, all OpenAudio devices in the room simultaneously sound an alarm. This scenario-based innovation upgrades the speaker from an “audio playback device” to a “smart home interaction hub”, which is highly consistent with the “diversified value of speakers” elaborated by Fiede Schillmoeller and the “core positioning of the new device type” confirmed by Chris LaPré. It also further strengthens the differentiated advantages ofOpenAudio Matter adaptation, endows more scenario value to cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, and promotes the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers to extend to scenario-based.
IV. Industry Changes: From “Ecosystem Binding” to “Product is King”, the Fate Reconstruction of Multiple Players
The formulation of the Matter Audio Standard led by Legato, the concept communication by Fiede Schillmoeller, the official promotion by Chris LaPré on behalf of the CSA, coupled with the OpenAudio Matter adaptation and product implementation promoted by OpenAudio, relying on the industry popularity of the Matter 1.5 update, are jointly reshaping the competitive pattern of the smart speaker industry, accelerating the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers, and the fate of different players will undergo major changes. The popularization of the cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers function will become the core symbol of this revolution.
(I) Third-Party Audio Brands: Embracing New Opportunities for “Fair Competition”
For third-party audio brands such as Sonos, Bose, and emerging brands represented by OpenAudio, the implementation of the Matter Audio Standard is a major benefit and a key opportunity to break through with the help of the Matter 1.5 update. Previously, these brands had to pay high licensing fees to ecosystem giants to access mainstream ecosystems and could not achieve cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers. Now, by adapting to the open-source Matter Audio Standard and learning from the experience of OpenAudio Matter adaptation, they can achieve “one adaptation, full ecosystem compatibility”, greatly reducing research and development and licensing costs, quickly realizing thecross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers function, and accelerating their own Matter adaptation progress. The focus of competition will shift from “ecosystem adaptation capability” to “sound quality” and “scenario innovation”, and brands deeply engaged in audio technology will usher in a real spring of development — this is also one of the core original intentions of Fiede Schillmoeller leading the research and development of the Matter Audio Standard and Chris LaPré promoting the standard implementation, as well as the core value of the Matter 1.5 update in helping the diversified development of the industry.
(II) Ecosystem Giants: Facing the Dilemma of “Openness vs. Conservation”
The three major ecosystem giants — Apple, Google, and Amazon — are facing a dilemma between “ecological barriers” and “market trends”. Their attitudes directly affect the comprehensive implementation of the Matter Audio Standard and also restrict the overall progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. Chris LaPré hinted in an interview that the CSA will continue to promote ecological openness, relying on the industry influence of the Matter 1.5 update to guide giants to participate in the implementation of the Matter Audio Standard, but also respect the business choices of each giant. Fiede Schillmoeller, however, bluntly stated that the wait-and-see attitude of the giants is the biggest resistance to the comprehensive implementation of the Matter Audio Standard and the popularization of the cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers function, as well as the core obstacle to accelerating the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. In the short term, they will most likely maintain the “controller positioning” of their core speakers and adhere to ecological barriers. But in the long run, with the large-scale adaptation of third-party brands, the prominent demonstration effect of cases such as OpenAudio Matter adaptation, and the increasing user demand forcross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, if the giants continue to refuse to open up, they will face the risk of user loss. In the future, the giants may adopt a “hierarchical adaptation” strategy — binding core flagship products to the ecosystem, and supporting the Matter Audio Standard for mid-to-low-end products to realize cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, adapting to the trend of the Matter 1.5 update, achieving a balance between “ecosystem locking” and “market share”, and indirectly promoting the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
(III) Open-Source Platforms: Becoming the “Biggest Beneficiaries”
Open-source smart home platforms represented by Home Assistant will become the biggest beneficiaries of the implementation of the Matter Audio Standard and also the core dividend recipients of the Matter 1.5 update. Previously, due to ecological restrictions on audio streaming transmission, open-source platforms were difficult to achieve large-scale implementation in the speaker scenario and could not support cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers. Now, with the help of the Matter Audio Standard led by Legato, the cross-ecosystem concept promoted by Fiede Schillmoeller, and the OpenAudio Matter adaptation product implementation cases of brands such as OpenAudio, open-source platforms can realize unified control of all types of Matter audio devices, support cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, further strengthen their positioning as “full-scenario smart home hubs”, and attract more users and developers to join. This is also highly consistent with the core mission of the CSA (Chris LaPré) to “unify the smart home ecosystem”, and will also promote the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers to extend to the open-source ecosystem.
V. Challenges and the Future: A Long and Arduous Road to Audio Interconnection, but Progress is Inevitable
Although the promotion of the Matter Audio Standard has achieved phased results, relying on the industry popularity of the Matter 1.5 update, the collaboration between Legato and OpenAudio has set a benchmark for the industry, Chris LaPré has given official endorsement on behalf of the CSA, Fiede Schillmoeller has clearly conveyed the core value of the standard, the OpenAudio Matter adaptation case has provided a reference for the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers, and the initial implementation of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers has been recognized by the industry, the comprehensive implementation of the standard and the comprehensive popularization of the function still face many challenges, and the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers still needs to be continuously promoted.
In the short term, insufficient industrial chain collaboration is the core obstacle. The progress of hardware adaptation and firmware upgrades of speaker manufacturers is inconsistent; some manufacturers still face difficulties in adapting to the Matter Audio Standard and fail to keep up with the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. The API integration of music platforms has not been fully completed, affecting the full-chain experience of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers. The open attitude of ecosystem giants is still unclear, restricting the comprehensive popularization of the standard. Moreover, the experience consistency after the standard is implemented needs continuous polishing — the hardware differences of devices from different brands may lead to uneven cross-device playback experience. This is also a key issue focused on by both Chris LaPré and Fiede Schillmoeller, a key direction optimized by OpenAudio in the process of OpenAudio Matter adaptation, and even the core focus of promoting the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
In the long run, the sustainability of the business model is the key. Legato’s open-source model needs to find a profit balance point. Fiede Schillmoeller also admitted that in the future, it will achieve profitability through advanced software licensing, customized solutions, etc., and continuously support the optimization and promotion of the Matter Audio Standard led by Legato to help the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. Product manufacturers such as OpenAudio need to rely on the core advantages of OpenAudio Matter adaptation to build core competitiveness on the basis of “full ecosystem compatibility” and “realizing cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers“. The entire industry needs to get rid of the old logic of “ecosystem binding” and establish a new business model of “open compatibility + product innovation”, keeping up with the trend of the Matter 1.5 update and subsequent iterations. This is also the key direction that the CSA (Chris LaPré) will focus on promoting in the future, and even the core driving force for promoting the popularization of the Matter Audio Standard and accelerating the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers.
However, it is undeniable that the “open-source, open, cross-ecosystem compatibility” advocated by the Matter Audio Standard meets the core needs of users, conforms to the development trend of “Internet of Everything” in smart homes, and aligns with the core direction of the Matter 1.5 update. The definition of the Matter Audio Standard led by Legato points out the direction for the industry; the persistence of Fiede Schillmoeller promotes the spread of concepts; the support of Chris LaPré and the CSA provides official guarantee for the standard implementation; the OpenAudio Matter adaptation and product implementation of OpenAudio provide a model for the industry, promoting the realization of the cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers function and accelerating the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. With more and more players joining, ecological barriers will eventually be gradually broken.
In the future, when users can control any brand of smart speaker with any app and truly enjoy the convenience of cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers; when manufacturers can focus on product innovation rather than ecosystem adaptation, and quickly promote their own Matter adaptation progress with the help of the dividends of the Matter Audio Standard and the Matter 1.5 update; when smart speakers truly become the “universal interaction hub” of smart homes, the entire industry will enter a healthier and more innovative development stage. This revolution led by Legato, practiced by OpenAudio, and supported by Chris LaPré and the CSA official, revolves around the Matter Audio Standard, focuses on cross-ecosystem playback on Matter speakers, and helps the progress of Matter adaptation for speaker manufacturers. Although the road is long and arduous, progress is inevitable; and the era of intelligent audio interconnection will eventually arrive as scheduled, with the background of openness and compatibility.
