How To Connect The HomePod Mini To HomePod

Step by Step Guide to Pairing Your HomePod Mini with a HomePod

Creating a stereo pair with your HomePod Mini and HomePod can enhance your audio experience by providing richer sound and a wider soundstage. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you pair these devices:

#Step 1: Requirements Check
Before you start, ensure that both your HomePod Mini and HomePod are updated to the latest version of iOS. They also need to be in the same room in the Home app on your iOS device.

#Step 2: Place Your Speakers
Position your HomePod Mini and HomePod in the same room, ideally on opposite sides of the area where you want to create a stereo effect.

#Step 3: Open the Home App
On your iPhone or iPad, open the Home app. This is where you will configure the settings for your HomePods.

#Step 4: Select the HomePod Mini
In the Home app, press and hold the tile for your HomePod Mini. This will bring up the controls for that specific device.

#Step 5: Access Speaker Settings
Tap the small gear icon in the bottom right corner to access the settings for your HomePod Mini.

#Step 6: Create Stereo Pair
Scroll down until you see the option to Create Stereo Pair. Select this to begin the pairing process.

#Step 7: Choose the Second HomePod
The app will now show you other HomePods available for pairing. Select your HomePod from the list to proceed.

#Step 8: Assign Left and Right Channels
You will be prompted to assign which speaker is the left channel and which is the right. The app may suggest a configuration based on their physical locations, but you can change this if needed.

#Step 9: Wait for Configuration
After you've assigned the channels, the Home app will configure your speakers to work together as a stereo pair. This may take a few moments.

#Step 10: Confirmation
Once the setup is complete, you'll receive a confirmation message. Your HomePod Mini and HomePod should now function as a single stereo unit.

Enjoy your newly paired HomePod Mini and HomePod, offering a more immersive sound experience for music, movies, and more.
