Surround sound without PLAYBAR/BASE

Hi, is it possible to setup a surround sound with a PLAY3 and 2x PLAY1? Or do you specifically need a PLAYBAR/PLAYBASE?

I own 1 of each and am looking to repurpose and group them (plus one more) with my Apple TV so that I can switch to the Homepod and airplay 2 when it comes out.

Thanks,
Dave

You need a PlayBar or PlayBase at the minimum. Those are the only two equipment pieces that decode surround sound.

In Addition to what HighEndMusic said, you can only use a pair of Play 1s or 3s as surround speakers(rear), if you decided to have a playbar or playbase which is the one connected on your TV

You won't be disappointed with the Playbar, it's an excellent bit of kit!.
