Hi
Would this work:
Beocreate amp + RL6000 set as left speaker; another Beocreate amp + RL6000 set as right speaker.
Airplay both simultaneous = the result Stereo?

Hi,
In general: yes.
The RL6000 profile and guides will be available in the next weeks. For this setup you will need 2 Beocreate boards and one Raspberry Pi. One speaker will be a slave. The connection between both speakers is done via a TOSLink (optical) cable that connects the output of the master speaker to the input of the slave speaker.

That's cool, will the setup work for the CX100s as well (TOSLink connection)?
For the CX100 you need only one Beocreate board, You can connect the second speaker using a 4-wire cable (we will offer assembled cables in our shop in some weeks, but there is no need for a specific cable from us). We'll use Mini-XLR as these connectors are small, but still relatively robust.
Have a look at the guides here:

May I ask why we need a cable?
If I have two boards, and the possibility to Airplay to 2 devices? I use TuneBlade for this on my PC.
Both speakers will show up, I can connect to both (and to my livingroom setup). Do I need a cable if I set speaker1 to "left", and speaker2 to "right"?

I don't know TuneBlade. Problem with this setup can be the synchronisation. While in Multiroom setup a few ms difference aren't a problem, in a stereo setup this can create problems with the Stereo image. Unfortunately I can't say how well TuneBlade can synchornise the playback. Feel free to try by yourself.
Best regards,
Daniel
Thanks Daniel, I will, as soon as I get the second board.

Hi - is there a cable you recommend for the mini xlr?
I have the connectors, but cannot find a suitable cable...
Thanks, Christian

Hi Daniel,
I know this one, but I need 8m and already have the connectors.
Do you know which cable is used for the one you're selling?
Thanks, Christian
Unfortunately I can't say this. We source these as complete cables. Basically any 4 wire cable will do. However at 8m is quite long and you might already have losses that will reduce the volume of the remote speaker.
Best regards,
Daniel
