Create an amplify or stereo group with two Pill+ speakers in the Beats app for Android
The Beats app lets you add a second Pill+ speaker and play from both speakers for a sound that’s twice as full. Or play from both speakers as stereo output for an even more dynamic sound experience.
Note: If you’re using Beats Pill speakers, see Create an amplify or stereo group with two Pill speakers.
Add a second Pill+ speaker to create an Amplify or Stereo group
Before creating an Amplify group, make sure the first Pill+ speaker is turned on and connected to your Android phone.
In the Beats app for Android, display the Pill+ device screen, then do one of the following:
Amplify your sound (play the same audio from both speakers): Tap Amplify .
Listen in stereo (play the left audio channel from one speaker and the right audio channel from the other speaker): Tap Stereo .
Note: If you’re playing music, playback may pause until the Amplify or Stereo group is created.
Make sure the second speaker is turned on and is discoverable.
The button on the speaker pulses to indicate that Pill+ is in discovery mode, ready to be paired. If it doesn’t pulse, press for 3 seconds to initiate discovery mode.
In the Select a Pill+ screen, tap the name of the speaker you want add to the Amplify or Stereo group.
The group is created.
Adjust the volume of an Amplify group’s Pill+ speakers
In the Beats app for Android, you can adjust the volume of each speaker in an Amplify group independently or simultaneously.
Adjust the volume of each speaker separately: Drag the volume sliders left or right.
The volume controls are only available while a track is playing.
You can also adjust each speaker’s individual volume using the volume control buttons on each Pill+ speaker.
Adjust the volume of both speakers simultaneously: Use the volume buttons on your paired Android phone or the on-screen volume controls in your music app. Both speakers change volume at the same rate. If one speaker is set to a lower volume, the volume changes proportionally.
Adjust the volume of a Stereo group’s Pill+ speakers
When you adjust speaker volume in a Stereo group, all speakers are adjusted simultaneously.
Do one of the following:
Press the volume control buttons on either Pill+ speaker.
Use the volume buttons on your paired Android phone or the on-screen volume controls in your music app.
Switch the audio channels of a Stereo group between the Pill+ speakers
In the Beats app for Android, tap in the speaker’s device screen.
The Pill+ speaker that was playing the right channel now plays the left channel, and vice versa.
Disable the Pill+ Amplify or Stereo group
In the speaker’s device screen in the Beats app for Android, do one of the following:
Tap Amplify or Stereo .
Tap Break Group.
In the card that appears, tap “Break group”.
Output returns to the first paired speaker.
You cannot use the Amplify mode and Stereo mode at the same time.
