Bose companion 2 speakers with airport express?

Will these speakers work with airport express? Do I need any additional wires?

Either the Bose or JBL will work fine and both are supplied with the audio cables that you will need to connect to the AirPort Express.

  • Bose Companion speakers with Subwoofer

    I am trying to link my airport express directly to the Bose subwoofer but the only input connection is a USB port.
    When I go direct to laptop using USB the sound is unbeatable. Unfortunately, I can't seem to configure the airport express to handle audio signals out of the USB port
    Any suggestions?

    Yes, and a bit more detail...
    For the AX, the audio is handled by a Texas
    Instruments PCM2705 digital-to-analog converter which
    it outputs on a 3.5mm stereo minijack. However, the
    innermost end of the 3.5mm jack is an optical S/PDIF
    transmitter.
    The AX works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to
    music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data
    only. (An exception is you can use a third-party
    product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other
    non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in
    any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy
    MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple
    Lossless and lossless AIF or WAV files at the high
    end. It is also important to note that the AX
    functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you
    play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts
    the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
    One operational glitch is the fact that, as the AX
    doesn't have a local clock circuit, when the incoming
    data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs
    in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to
    feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. Provided
    you stick within its limitations and your DAC can
    cope with its digital output switching off at the end
    of songs, the combination of iTunes and an AX
    provides an easy way to pipe CD-quality music around
    your home.
    Thanks for those details - So, how do I connect my Bose companion 5 to the airport express ?
    Do I just use a mini to mini cable plugged into the Bose's control pod ? Can you buy mini to USB or toslink(?) to USB ?
    Should I (and can I buy ??) the digital (toslink?) to mini (toslink in ax and mini in Bose pod) or is that a waste of time quality wise ?
    So many questions !
    Any help much appreciated THANKS

  • Problems setting up remote speakers with Airport Express

    I have an airport express hooked up with powered speakers via a mini pin stereo connector/rca connectors. I have checked "Enable Airplay" in the Airport Utility configuration for this AE, which is my ONLY wifi device and functions as my router as well.  In iTunes, there is NO speaker selection tab on the bottom right of the iTunes window.  I am using iTunes 10, latest version, and the Airport Utility software is up to date. The base station is an 802.11g. I believe I have tried everything. Correct answer anyone?

    Temporarily, try plugging a pair of headphones into the audio jack on the Express to simulate speakers.
    Restart the entire network.
    Same error message when you try this?

  • How to set up iHM79 speakers with airport express?

    I've got the green light on the express.. i can see it fine in airport utility. I've told iTunes to play thru the express. But the express does not seem to realize it has speakers attached to it. All i did was plug the speakers into teh express. I notice that in airport utility, it wants to know the name of the speakers. Well, near as i can tell, the speakers don't have a name, and there are very few directions that came with them, so i am lost.
    How do i tell the express that it's got speakers attached so that i can play music thru them wirelessly?

    You can use AirPort Utility (in the Music panel) to give the speakers a name. That can be useful if you have more than one set of speakers attached to separate AirPort Express units so that you can distinguish between them in iTunes.
    I can't find a way to name the speakers.. it just asks me what the name of the speakers i want to use is.
    How do i tell the express that it's got speakers attached so that i can play music thru them wirelessly?
    Can you see the speakers in iTunes? One thing you may have forgotten to do is to check "Enable AirTunes" in that same Music panel of AirPort Utility.
    I had that done, but it didn't matter. I could see the express in iTunes, but not the speakers specifically.
    However, i have gotten it all to work by starting over. I ran across a tutorial here, telling me to plug the speakers into the express and THEN plugging the express into the wall, and then setting the express up with airport utility. So i restored it to default factory settings at that point and started from scratch. Voila! I still don't see names for the speakers, but they play music, so i'm not arguing.
    Now I've left my daughter to figure out where to find the app for her iPod Touch to remotely control things.

  • Multiple Speakers with Airport Express

    Since the release of iTunes sometime back in feb/mar, I'm so happy to be able to stream music through multiple speakers in different rooms in my house. However, since I installed the latest iTunesSetup dated 2006-06-28 release v6.05, I am unable to play to more than 1 set of speakers, sometimes even only limited to "My Computer". The error message was something like 'could not access the speaker'.
    I've also doublechecked latest firmware and there was none released after http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63forwindows. html
    I don't see anyone here with similar problems since there seems to be none posted after Jun 28 on this issue.
    Can any expert help?

    # Click the Firewall tab.
    # Click the Advanced button.
    # Make sure that the option to "Block UDP Traffic" is not selected.
    Thks so much for the reply! My PCs are behind the router and the firewall is not on in this case. I do use the zonealarm normally for other PCs.
    As far as I know, on XPProSP2 we can unblock UDP traffic and normally need to specify which ports though, not universal unblock.
    Any other clues?

  • Outdoor Speakers and Airport Express

    Hi everyone,
    I'm looking at rock speakers to put in my backyard and connect to airport express, these ones especially:
    http://www.outdoorspeakerdepot.com/hf5.html
    Can anyone give me a rundown on how to use these speakers with airport express and what kind of things I'll need besides them to get them to work with Airport Express?
    Any instructions would be greatly appreciated, I've looked all around and can't find any help so far.

    This may be possible. The AirPort Express is an AirPlay capable device. If your current wireless speakers are also AirPlay capable, then you should be able to stream to both these wireless speakers and to speakers connected to the Express via an analog/digital audio cable simultaneously or separately.

  • How do I connect my Bose Cinemate GS Series ii speakers to Airport Express?

    How do I connect my Bose Cinemate GS Series ii speakers to Airport Express?

    You can connect the Bose to the AirPort Express with either a digital optical or analog audio cable. For best sound I would recommend the digital connection.
    Your Bose speakers should already come with a digital optical audio cable with TOSlink connectors on either end. Either get a 3.5 mm to TOSlink adapter for the end that you will connect to the Express' audio port or get another cable with a 3.5 mm connector on one end and a TOSlink connector on the other. An example could be seen here.

  • Speakers that work with airport express?

    Hello all
    Can anyone recommend small wall mounted speakers that work with airport express?
    Thanks in advance
    Adam

    I would recommend just about anything from either Bose or Audioengine that are self-powered and provide either analog or digital audio inputs. One example would be the Audioengine A2+ speakers.

  • Popping when new sound comes through, with Bose companion speakers.

    I've used the Bose companion speakers for years with my 17" PowerBook and they were fine. Now, connected to my new 24" iMac they "pop" just before a new sound comes through, i.e. mail message coming in etc. I've connected them to my husband's 24" iMac and same deal. Apple has no idea why, and it's driving me nuts.

    Just came from the Apple store, told the same story to one of the guys there who use to work in a recording studio. He knew what I was talking about. Now I've talked to Apple Care twice, Bose once, no answers. But this guy suggested a USB device, like an iMic which I happened to have so I gave it a try and so far, NO POPPING. I have my fingers crossed, but it seems to be working. I have the speakers plugged into the iMic, the iMic plugged into a USB port.
    Bottom line, this is screwed up, I shouldn't have to do this work around. Apple has to know about the problem. But until they own up to it at least now I'm not going nuts with this noise. At least I hope not. I'll post again if I'm wrong.

  • Safari Compatibility with airport express and remote speakers.

    Is there a good reason why Safari shouldn't broadcast sound to remote speakers through Airport Express in the same way that ITunes does. I'm thinking specifically about my Netflix addiction and that I always have to plug directly into a pair of HK speakers rather than play remotely over my whole home audio. I will restrain my capitalist conspiracy theories for now....any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums!
    Netflix haven't updated to comply with Safari 5 yet, but in the meantime they offer the following solution:

  • Setting up a multi-zone stereo system in my home with Airport Express

    I'm trying to set up an in-home stereo system using iTunes as my main hub.  I want to play iTunes as well as Pandora and possibly Sirius.  Can I set this up with Airport Express?  Would I control everything through iTunes on my MacBook or an iPad?  How is this all wired if I have some existing external speakers with a receiver in my family room, built-in ceiling speakers in the kitchen, and outdoor external speakers?  I am comparing this to a Sonos system, but the Sonos is not really in my budget. 
    Also, what is the difference between Airport Express and Airport Extreme?  What would I need for this situation?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    >I want to play iTunes as well as Pandora and possibly Sirius. Can I set this up with AirPort Express?
    From iTunes you can stream a single audio source to one or multiple 802.11n AirPort Express Base Stations (AXn), but you cannot stream multiple audio sources to separate AXns. You would need a third-party product, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil to stream audio sources other than from iTunes.
    >Would I control everything through iTunes on my MacBook or an iPad?
    You could do either.
    >How is this all wired if I have some existing external speakers with a receiver in my family room, built-in ceiling speakers in the kitchen, and outdoor external speakers?
    Of the speakers you mentioned, only the ones connected to the receiver would work directly connected to an AXn. The audio output port on the AXn is a combo 3.5 mm stereo analog/optical digital port. Assuming your receiver accepts either analog or digital audio input, you can feed the output of iTunes or Airfoil from the AXn to the receiver. In turn, the receiver (if configured for whole home stereo) can feed the kitchen and outdoor speakers.
    >Also, what is the difference between AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme?
    What's similar: Both are Internet routers that provide wireless. Both provide the ability to share an attached USB printer. What's different: The Extreme has a built-in Ethernet switch. The Extreme supports sharing HDDs and printers together or separately via a USB hub. The Express has a built-in audio circuitry, the Extreme does not.
    >What would I need for this situation?
    Only the Express can accomplish providing an audio stream.

  • I have a mid-2009 MBP and I've been using my BOSE Companion 20 with it for about half a year now. It was fine until recently, when i want to adjust the volume using the pod on the BOSE Companion 20, it will cause like a surge in volume, spiking it up

    I have a mid-2009 MBP and I've been using my BOSE Companion 20 with it for about half a year now. It was fine until recently, when i want to adjust the volume using the pod on the BOSE Companion 20, it will cause like a surge in volume, spiking it up and down. It will not stablise itself! It's very fustrating. Anybody with the same issue?

    I have the BOSE Companion 5 speakers and have had the same problem. I've searched everywhere and gotten nowhere. My speakers are way past their warranty, so calling Bose would probably get me no where either. Only thing I can think of is that the speakers overheat which causes the spikes in the volume. I've tried unplugging them for a few minutes and then plug them back on. The problem does go away, but after about 5 minutes, same problem.

  • When adding WRE54G to wireless network incompatible with Airport Express

    I added a Linksys WRE54G to expand my network to a Powerbook G4 laptop with a weak signal. When I connect the wireless expander, I no longer see the Airport express in the airport utility. I cannot access the printer or itunes speakers attached to the airport express. When I power off the expander and have a weaker signal, the airport express is available again. I don't know how to configure the wireless expander to work with airport express, and if I try to create a WDS network with the airport express (currently unsuccessful), then I believe I will lose itunes support (and maybe the printer?).
    Does anyone know how to configure the WRE54G so that I can still see the airport express on my network?
    Thanks,
    Brigitte

    I was having the same problems. Try this link, someone seems to have solved it.

  • Choppy sound when using airplay with airport express

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first posting and I hope I can get some advice with the following situation:
    Setting: a CISCO router with WIFI for my apartment, a mac mini, an iphone and an ipad all connected to the network. I also have an airport express that is attached to a set of speakers (the airport express is connected to the network as a client).
    When I try to use airplay from ANY device and play music to my speakers connected to the airport express, I get choppy sound (volume goes up and down) and bad sound quality.
    Any advice and how to go around the issue?
    I've updated firmware but the issue doesn't seem to be that.
    Best Regards,
    Will

    Hello WillMendoza,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215?viewlocale=nl_nl&locale=nl_nl
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > Bluetooth.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Best of luck,
