1. A playback device comprising:
- a network interface;
a processor; and
tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the playback device to perform functions comprising;
obtaining acoustics of an environment in which the playback device is located, wherein obtaining the acoustics of the environment comprises emitting a calibration tone;
receiving via the network interface, data indicating a network microphone device to be bonded with the playback device; and
based on receiving the data indicating the network microphone device, sending via the network interface, the acoustics to the network microphone device to cause the network microphone device to apply the acoustics to audio data detected by the network microphone device, while the network microphone is bonded with the playback device.

Abstract
A playback device may have a network interface configured to communicate with a network microphone device over a communication network. A processor of the playback device may comprise instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to obtain acoustics of an environment in which the playback device is located; identify a network microphone device; and send the acoustics to the network microphone device to cause the network microphone device to apply the acoustics to voice input received by the network microphone device.
