The Russound MBX-Series now supports Apple AirPlay 2 audio streaming!  AirPlay 2 offers many exciting new benefits to MBX users:

Multi-brand Synchronization - Not only can you now use AirPlay to play synchronized audio among any MBX-Series products, but you can also now synchronize audio between your MBX products and ANY OTHER AirPlay 2 compatible brand's products. Do you have an MBX system throughout the house and an AirPlay 2 Sonos speaker by the pool and an AirPlay 2 soundbar in another room?   All of these can now easily join together for synchronized playback and control using AirPlay from any iOS device.

Voice Control with Siri - Use Siri to play and control your favorite music.  Your MBX products can be configured in the Apple Home app and Siri can help you use your favorite music apps to play on your AirPlay 2 devices, including Apple Music, Pandora, and more*.

Uninterrupted Music - With AirPlay 2, your music will continue to play at your party even if you get a phone call. No more interruptions to the music.
 
The MBX-AMP Wi-Fi Streaming Zone Amplifier is designed to offer a simple-to-install and simple-to-configure streaming media solution to add high quality streaming audio anywhere in the home.
