After hearing the fantastic performance of a single A1 I thought I had to get a second one for the stereo experience.
Just this morning I started to play with it for the first time. I got the two speakers to pair. The easiest way is to follow the instructions on the B&O Faq page and not use the App. It may be my phone but the app seems a bit flaky at times and I've seen complaints about recent updates causing problems.
Anyway, using my phone to play music via BT, the sound is really good. So much better than just one.
The problem I have is that I have all my music on a non-BT ipod so I need to connect via the 3.5mm line in. Is there a way to do this?
What I do is:
1. Switch on one speaker and start playing music via the line in.
2. Hold the Bluetooth down till the LED power light turns blue and then starts flashing white. Wait for the beep about 20s later.The music from the line in continues to play albeit with slight interruption.
3. Switch on the second one and hold the blue tooth button until this one's power LED flashes white.
The power LEDs on both speakers turn white continuously and beep. The music from the line in ceases and I can no longer get it to play through the speakers.
Am I doing something wrong or do I have false expectations. I haven't seen it reported that only Bluetooth input can be paired for stereo and the fact that the music continues while the first speaker waits for a second one. On the other hand I can't see confirmation that it should be possible (though I'm sure I did back in the Christmas holidays).
A splitter on the cable might work if I can find one but I'd rather use the technology B&O have given us.
Thanks for any help.
