BluOS Controller app 4.x.x
By creating a fixed group with your Bluesound Players, you can have your players work together to provide a specific listening experience different from the Standard grouping in the BluOS Controller App. After creating a fixed group, these players appear as a single player in your BluOS Controller App's Players tab /Player Drawer. You can create three different types of Fixed Groups in the BluOS Controller App.
- Home Theater Group. Learn more.
- Multi Player Group. Learn more.
- Stereo Pair Group.
Stereo Pair Group
Adding two players from the PULSE/PULSE M/PULSE MINI/PULSE FLEX models to a stereo pair configures each player to handle a single channel output (left or right), allowing them to play together in stereo. A stereo Pair is useful when you place two speakers (for example, Bluesound PULSE 2i) on opposite sides of the same room.
