AirPlay 2 from Apple is the updated AirPlay standard for streaming and multi-room audio for the smart home, and was launched with iOS 11. AirPlay 2 makes it possible to stream music to multiple rooms at once, via an iPhone or iPad, and will also be able to integrate with HomeKit, for intelligent control and interaction with other HomeKit compatible devices.

With AirPlay, you can stream sound in high and delicious quality, wirelessly over the network to the devices that support this. Almost all new amplifiers and receivers on the market have support for both Airplay 2 and ChromeCast, which makes it easier than ever to get great sound in the home - without all the hassle.

An amplifier with built-in Airplay 2 (also backwards compatible with Airplay) will in many cases be able to switch on by itself when it detects that you are streaming to it. You then have control to regulate the volume, and of course also switch between the songs or content you may be streaming. Since Airplay 2 makes use of the network, this means that the quality that can be streamed is significantly higher than, for example, Bluetooth, which cannot move anywhere near the same amount of data. If you have an iPhone or iPad and want a simple and delicious streaming solution, take a look at the amplifiers and receivers we offer.
