ECS Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hello I was wondering is there anyway to add AirPlay speakers to a C4 system? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 What is a Airplay speaker? You can add shairbridge and have that auto start playing to a room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECS Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 AirPlay Enabled speakers are wireless speakers that connect to iTunes using AirPlay. B&w Zeppelin is an example. I want that wireless speaker be an endpoint in a room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 You'd have to have a way to go from receiver to the speaker. When I was shopping a year or two ago, there were no Receiver >> Bluetooth/Wifi >> Speaker capable receivers out there. The receivers were all built to receive (no pun intended) the bluetooth or wifi streams, but not communicate with speakers via BT or wifi. Maybe this has changed? There are some bluetooth transmitters you can add. In fact, I think some are made to work with standard headphone mini-jacks. You might be able to plug this into your home controller and BT to a paired speaker. Remember I shopped a year+ ago. I would think that these nice BT headphones might have created a demand for BT output on newer receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Let's start at the beginning - WHY do you want to add airplay speakers? Because frankly - you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECS Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 I need wireless speakers for a couple of parts of the house and am currently using Sonos, but not really happy with them. I can't start music from the room with the Sonos speakers (if I am using my music). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said - there are several wireless transmitter-speaker options available that may work for you, but airplay specific speakers wouldn't work. As mentioned in the thread - C4 doesn't 'transmit' airplay, it's an airplay receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
