You can mix-and-match AirPlay-2 compatible speakers from other audio brands to create a more versatile multi-room system.
Originally meant to launch with the ( now retired) Apple HomePod smart speaker, it was designed to let you set up two HomePods as a stereo pair (which we’d recommend) and pepper multiple HomePods around your home – all controlled by your iOS devices.īut it’s not restricted to Apple’s own ecosystem. It’s Apple’s first real move into multi-room technology, with AirPlay 2 finally letting you stream music from your iOS device to more than one product. The biggest feature of AirPlay 2? Multi-room.
