kirkmc Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 An Apple "pundit" actually criticize me for calling the HomePod a mono speaker. He said: “Anyone who calls HomePod a “mono speaker” does not understand elemental basics of sound reproduction.” I wrote about why the HomePod is a mono speaker, and I'm amazed that I actually had to do this: https://kirkville.com/the-homepod-is-a-mono-speaker/ I write about Macs, music, and more at Kirkville.

Popular Post kirkmc Posted September 2, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 Yes, you can combine two HomePods into a stereo pair. R and L channels are not separate; you can test with any R/L testing audio (or early Beatles track in stereo). And I think it's an odd number of tweeters so there can be an even number of microphones; they alternate around the bottom. The six microphones are for Siri, and for the HomePod's DSP (so it can detect proximate surfaces). wgscott and tmtomh 2 I write about Macs, music, and more at Kirkville.

kirkmc Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 I have that feature turned off, on all my Apple devices. As I have Alexa turned off on my Sonos devices. tmtomh 1 I write about Macs, music, and more at Kirkville. Author of Take Control of macOS Media Apps. Co-host of The Next Track podcast.
