We’ve snapped many pictures of the Harman Kardon Microsoft Cortana Invoke Smart Speaker, its parts, and packaging. Specifically, these come from the various posts we wrote about this Cortana enabled device. We’ve put these photos together here in our Harman Kardon Microsoft Cortana Invoke Smart Speaker Picture Gallery for easy viewing. Further, we’ll add more as we add them to new posts about this speaker. Often, it just takes seeing some photos to learn how to perform common tasks with these speakers. Hope these help.
