What is AirPlay ?

AirPlay® is a connectivity protocol made available by Apple. It is leveraging your Wi-Fi connection. This protocol allows you to stream audio and video content, and many applications and software natively embed this protocol. 

It offers you a very simple way to stream music to your Devialet system from your favorite Apple devices or compatible applications (Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, etc…).

I would like to know how I can stream via Airplay®

Airplay ® can only be used with an Apple device.

• With an iMac or MacBook

Please follow the instructions on Apple’s website here.

 

Q&A

• When I try to stream via AirPlay, it asks me for a password

This password is the one you chose during the product setup.

Your Apple device may ask you for a password when installing or pairing Airplay with your Devialet product (Pic 1).  This is a security feature provided by Apple.

During the installation, you can choose to define a password that you'll need to enter each time you connect a new device to the speaker (Pic 2). You can also choose not to enter a password.

Note: We recommend that you do not protect the Airplay connection via this feature. In any case, only people connected to your WiFi network will be able to play Airplay on your Devialet product.

If you set a password by mistake, or have forgotten your password, you can simply perform a product reset (link), reinstall the product and choose a new password (or choose not to protect the connection with a password).
