Airtunes Question

by 222ridepegasus Feb 28, 2011 3:34AM PST

Hi there,

I just bought some JBL Creature Speakers to connect to my Mac Book Pro, but I'm thinking it'd be better if they were actually the other side of the room and would like to connect to them via Wireless... I think I know how this works, but I'd just like to check, all I need is:

1 x AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n and AirTunes

As long as it's in Wireless range of my Router I just plug it to a wall socket and connect the Speakers ?

Also Streaming itunes doesnt interfere with Internet Bandwidth does it?

Many Thanks

Kieran

system to a wireless network.

I don't see why the speakers would be any different, other than the sound input levels

You may have a problem controlling the volume from across the room
