If yours is password protected (which it better be), you will have to enter the password/phrase. It will then countdown 20 seconds and reload the page. If you entered the password right, it will have connected to your router. Now you can drop off the WiFi connection to the device and jump back onto your main WiFi network.
You will now see the device on the network ready to play to. There are other settings pages where you can set the device name that other devices see when selecting streamable devices and so forth, but none of that is necessary. Once the SoundMate has been connected to your network, you can stream music to it from any DLNA, QPlay or AirPlay device. Simply select it from the available devices and shazam, you now have a wireless system. It supports most of the typical formats as well as FLAC (lossless audio). The SoundMate does everything it claims to.
SOUNDMATE M1 SETUP ANDROID
We have tested it from multiple different playback devices, including a handful of Android and iOS devices, as well as a Windows 8 laptop. As long as all devices have a solid connection to your router, we didn’t see any troubles with dropouts. We walked all over within the network’s range and had music pumping out the other end. Sound quality sounds like your typical wireless stream. It is clear without any distortion or skipping (again, as long as all devices have a solid connection to the network). We couldn’t really find anything to complain about outside of it not coming with a wall adapter to at least get your started with. Using a sidekick app on the PC, you can also connect multiple SoundMates together creating a multi-room setup. We didn’t test this out since we only had one unit on-site, but you can find a video below demonstrating how this works (provided by Uyesee). The construction is all brushed metal and has a nice look to it.
The edges are a little sharp in cut, but it shouldn’t bother anyone.
