BL8000 + BL2 how to setup with essence

15 replies

Think I've really muddled everyone...

 

I mean wireless from phone to core and then have 8000s cabled to core , have BL 2 cabled to core and play from phone

 

Is this feasible? I dont mind running wires I just want to play from phone to core wherever i am in the house and want bass to be taken care of by BL2

Very useful to know this too thank you! :) 

The Core supports AirPlay and Chromecast protocols to allow you to stream from your phone to the Core.  If it’s an iPhone, I recommend using the built-in AirPlay.

Exactly, what i was after thank you sir!

Will be picking up my 8000s soon and still on the look out for a BL2!! SOOO excited haha!

 

I have an android and an iPhone - is there much benefit of the airplay over android?
