Using More than One AQ SmartSpeaker
You can use multiple speakers to listen to the same source from iTunes on a computer which is wirelessly connected to the same
network as all the speakers. Currently, the iPod or Music function on the iOS device only supports one Speaker at a time.
It is possible to use the Remote App (free from the Apple App Store) on your iOS device to control iTunes on your computer, you
can control the sound output to individual Speakers in this way.
Before you start, make sure all of the speakers are switched on. Wait for them to connect to the network (the Wi-Fi light will go
green).
1. Open iTunes and wait for it to detect the Speakers. The AirPlay logo will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes
window.
2. Click the AirPlay icon and Select the Multiple Speakers option. This will bring up a new window with details for all of the
Speakers you have on the network.
3. Select several speakers by clicking their checkboxes. The Main iTunes window will show the current number of connected
Speakers next to the AirPlay logo, which will light up blue once there are speakers connected.
On the back of each speaker, you can select Left (L), Right (R) or Middle (M) for each speaker.
You will get the best results by choosing one Left and one Right if you are using two speakers in the same room. If you are
using more than two Speakers, or they are in different rooms, using them in Middle may be more appropriate.
If you are switching back to using a single speaker, check that it is in Middle mode, otherwise you will only get the left or right
half of the track.
Further Options
Another option for using multiple speakers is by using AirFoil, an application for Mac and PC by Rogue Amoeba, which allows you
to play audio from any application on your computer to your AQ SmartSpeaker.

If you own more than one iOS Device or computer, you can connect each device to a single AQ SmartSpeaker
, which will allow
you to listen to different music in different rooms at the same time.
Using Windows Media Player's Play To feature, you can also stream to multiple speakers. Each speaker has a separate playlist
and controls, so you can set up a different musical theme for each area of the house, but it is not currently possible to set up a
stereo pair using this method.
