During the past CES as well as at other technology fairs, we are realizing that more and more brands are joining to include Apple's content transmission protocols on their own devices to make them compatible. This makes it clear that iOS and macOS users are by no means residual and are even attractive to accessory companies.
Yamaha joins the AirPlay 2 standard and announces that it will include this technology to make its sound devices more compatible with our iPhones. This is how iOS users welcome quality sound and easy to stream over AirPlay.
This is how Yamaha has announced in the press release that a fortnight of its specialized home sound devices will receive news:
Support for the AirPlay 2 protocol will enable the ability to easily send music from Apple Music and other services from your iPhone, iPad, HomePod and Mac directly to your Yamaha devices, or any that have AirPlay 2 integrated, simultaneously and maintaining the timing and quality of sound. In addition, you can perform tasks through Siri on your iPhone, iPad, HomePod and AirPods to control what is being heard in each place in your house simply with your voice.
These are The 15 Yamaha products that will feature AirPlay 2 starting in May:
- MusicCast 20 and MusicCast 50 wireless speakers
- MusicCast BAR 400 sound bar
- RX-A 80 Series AV receivers
- RX-V 85 Series AV receivers
- RX-S602 slim line AV receiver
- ATS-4080 sound bar
- TSR-7850 AV-receiver
- CX-A5200 AV preamp / processor
- XDA-QS5400 MusicCast Multi-Room Streaming Amplifier
- MusicCast VINYL 500 turntable
Be that as it may, the news comes little by little and Apple's protocols are expandingor, something that seemed unthinkable when only a small number of products that were generally quite expensive could offer us this type of characteristics.
