A group is one clock, not four copies.

Every speaker in a group runs off the same clock, and the handover between rooms overlaps by design. That is why walking from one room to the next does not produce a seam, an echo or a restart.

  1. A living room with a low couch, a rug and a window along one wall.

    1 The living room

    Two Skala 3 across the long wall. The group starts here because this is where the stream is usually opened.

  2. A hall opening onto a sitting room, with curtains drawn back from a tall window.

    2 The hall

    One speaker, wall fixed above the coats. It joins the group as you pass and leaves it when the front door closes.

  3. A kitchen table and chairs on a herringbone floor beside a tall window.

    3 The kitchen

    The handover finishes here. Nothing restarts, nothing drops: the same second of the same track is playing in all three.

Setting a group takes about a minute

  1. Plug in the speaker and hold the top plate until the ring lights. It joins the network you are already on.
  2. Play the sweep from where you sit. The correction is computed on the speaker and stays on the speaker.
  3. Name the room. Any speaker you add later joins the same group by name, not by pairing.

The spare room

This room is not in the group, so the system never hands it anything. It is the only photograph on this site that was left as the camera made it.

Every other photograph on this site is printed the same way: the highlights carry the colour of the studio light and everything below them is neutral. This one was left as the camera made it, and it is the only one you can pick out at a glance.
