Non-US made Airplay speakers? (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Are there any alternatives to the usual Homepod/Sonos speakers for Airplay connectivity? I want to avoid using an airplay dongle in the kitchen, that’s already my setup in the living room, but here space is a concern.

Thus, is Yamaha the only non-US option or are there any EU-made speakers with built in Airplay?

Bang & Olufsen (🇩🇰) comes to mind and of course Genelec (🇫🇮) although I'm not sure if the latter has developed any app functionality and smart features.

Genelec doesn't make wireless speakers, but the smallest ones are quite compact. You could probably attach an AirPlay receiver to the back of it to turn it into a DIY wireless speaker.

Good point! Then the wireless dongle would be easy to upgrade as well.

Genelec is of course excellent and my secondary pair of studio monitors will come from them, but yeah - they don’t, and also looking for something simpler (ie. cheaper) for rooms where music is just for background listening.

And yeah, dongles are not a problem unless space is already cramped in a given and you want to minimize devices :)
