Single mode

Single Mode means streaming audio individually on each speaker.

Multi Mode

Multi-Mode means streaming the same audio on all speakers in Multi Mode meaning that one speaker acts as the server and distributes audio to the other speakers in Multi Mode. If the server speaker leaves the Multi Mode group, the audio stops playing.

Note:

  1. To use AUX with Multi Mode, connect one speaker to the sound source with a cable and set the source knob to AUX. Set the other speakers to Multi Mode.
