Placing a smart speaker in the center of the room or the ceiling isn’t always possible. You may need to consider alternatives.
You can use the same ceiling mounts for Echo and Google Home for wall mounts. You need to carve a hole in the wall, attach the smart speaker to the mount, then insert both into the wall. this position points the entire mic array and set of speakers at open air instead of facing some of the hardware towards a wall.
Other mounts work by plugging directly into the wall and creating a stand to hold the smart speaker. Those are only a good idea if they orient the speaker on its side; if it’s facing up, you may block microphones and speakers.
