I have a Beam Gen 2 plus mini sub. I have just bought two Era 100s. I want to use them as surrounds (have done that). During the setup I said yes to stereo pairing, but that’s not in fact what I want. I want the 100s as separate speakers in a group with the Beam, all playing the same full stereo music (for max volume in party situation). Do I need to undo the stereo pairing before grouping the speakers by playing music on the Beam and holding down the play/pause button on each 100? If so how do I do that? Once done how easy will it be to switch between surround mode and grouped?

Era 100s as surrounds but also as group members

The speakers can be bonded for TV surround sound and also playback music audio output in ‘full’ stereo… first see this link for ‘bonding’ your speakers as surrounds to your Beam…

To then go onto setup the surrounds for ‘full’ audio output for music playback, see this link…

Thanks Ken. I knew there would be an explanation somewhere but couldn’t find it. You made it easy for me.
