Q: Using AirPort Express to stream audio to multiple AirPlay speakers?
I am looking to create a wireless living room without the need for a receiver. We have multiple AirPlay enabled speakers in our great room, and I am looking for a way to stream audio from my new generation Apple TV to those speakers. The article I found online alludes to the idea that this can be accomplished using an AirPort Express. I have one burning question relating to the setup in the article I found:
Multiple AirPlay enabled speakers are connected to the same (or dedicated) network set up on an AirPort Express in client mode (or appropriate mode for AirPlay)
I select that AirPort Express as the alternative speaker source on the Apple TV
What happens? Do all of the connected AirPlay speakers then receive the audio signal? I sincerely cannot find this out anywhere online. Apple Technical Support was not able to answer this question.
