If they could make these work in a wireless atmos setup seamlessly with the apple tv I'd buy like 14 of them and place all around my living room. Syncing video and audio in real-time wirelessly is really difficult apparently, there's a standard for it called WiSA but almost no adoption sadly. I'd love to cut down on wiring.
- mttjj 6y agoThe comparison table makes is seem like the mini can't be paired with an AppleTV at all like the regular HomePod can.
- mstade 6y agoOh that's a real shame if so.. missed opportunity!
- buzzerbetrayed 6y ago> Pick up an incoming call from your iPhone, listen to music on your Mac, or upgrade your TV experience by taking the sound from your Apple TV to the next level — they all connect to HomePod mini. From the Apple website
- mttjj 6y agoWeird. I see that too. Not sure what the table is trying to state then. https://www.apple.com/homepod/ https://www.apple.com/homepod/
- ogre_codes 6y agoApple's site is a bit contradictory on this. In another place it lists speaker features and it lists "Home theater with Apple TV 4K" as a feature of the full size HomePod but not the mini. Inquiring minds want to know.
- X-Istence 6y agoHome Theater uses the full size HomePod's to do 5.1/7.1/Dolby Atmos surround sound. It requires the spatial processing to allow for the surround sound experience. The HomePod Mini can be used as a stereo pair, and connected to an Apple TV with no issues.
- mrbuttons454 6y agoThis is handled via Airplay 2, so I can't see a reason why it wouldn't be supported on the mini.
