What do I need for AirPlay 2?
Your iPhone or iPad must have iOS 11.4 or later to stream audio using AirPlay 2. You’ll also need at least one compatible device that can receive AirPlay 2 signals. These include Lithe Audio Wi-Fi speakers, A/V receivers, sound bars, and other devices. As long as all of your devices are connected to the same Wifi network, each should be easily discoverable and ready to pair.
What's the difference between AirPlay and AirPlay 2?
Debuting in 2004, Apple’s proprietary wireless protocol suite has developed into an all-singing, all-dancing entertainment hub. Allowing users to cast to multiple devices in different rooms, AirPlay 2 is an exciting advancement of the original Airplay, which only allowed streaming to one compatible speaker. In addition, you can now receive incoming calls without interrupting your music, allowing for a seamless casting experience.
AirPlay 2 receiver devices are also recognized by HomeKit, allowing users to access and control them using their Home app. Create customisable automations and link lighting, heating, security and audio, all controlled through a compatible iPhone, iPad or Mac.
