How to connect your Samsung Music Studio with multiple devices

You can group multiple Samsung audio devices together using the Samsung Sound app. Once grouped, you can choose between Stereo mode or Group Play mode depending on your listening preference. There are two ways to set up a group: manually selecting devices, or using the auto-recommendation feature.
Connection requirements:
- Your WiFi Speaker must be registered in the Samsung Sound app.
- At least two audio devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network at 5 GHz.
- This is available on Samsung Sound devices that support Wi-Fi released year 2023 or later.
Set Stereo/Group
Optimized Sound Field Suggestions
The Samsung Sound app can automatically recommend a Stereo or Group Play configuration based on your registered devices.
Setting up manual grouping
Step 1. Run the Samsung Sound app on your mobile device.
Play using Stereo pair or Group Play
After grouping your speakers, you can play music or watching TV with Stereo pair or Group Play.
Play using Stereo Pair
Stereo pair splits audio into left and right channels across two WiFi Speakers of the same model, delivering a wider sound stage.
Stereo Pair connection examples:
- Only the same types of WiFi speakers can be set as a Stereo.
- Music Studio 5 ↔ Music Studio 5: available
- Music Studio 5 ↔ Music Studio 7: not available
Note:
- The WiFi Speaker which is connected to the TV will automatically become the host device.
- You can connect the TV to the host WiFi Speaker using an optical cable, HDMI cable, or Bluetooth.
Play using Group Play
Group Play allows you to play the same music simultaneously across up to 10 Samsung audio devices. You can add not only WiFi Speakers but also other types of Samsung sound devices such as soundbars to the group.
Group Play connection examples:
- Music Studio 7 + Music Studio 5 + 2026 Soundbar → Different types of devices can be grouped together
- Multiple Music Studio 5 units → Place in different rooms and play the same music simultaneously
Note:
- You can add a maximum of 10 devices.
- With Group Play, the audio will be output through the host device alone.
- When a device connected to the host device switches to a different source, the device will be deleted from the group automatically.
- When the host device is connected to a TV, the generated group will be deleted automatically.
- This feature does not support TV sound.
- Group Play is currently available only on 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks. Support for 2.4 GHz networks is planned to be available later this year. A product software update will be required to enable Group Play on 2.4 GHz networks.

Step 4. Select Music Studio.
Note:
- Samsung TVs released in 2017 or later: Sound → Sound Output → Music Studio

When a Samsung TV is connected using Bluetooth, you can hear stereo sound without the hassle of cabling.
Step 1. Press Mic On/Off button on the WiFi Speaker for 3 seconds or longer.
Step 2. Select Bluetooth Speaker List on the Samsung TV.
(Home → Settings → All Settings → Sound → Sound Output → Bluetooth Speaker List)
Step 3. From the list on the TV screen, select the WiFi speaker (Music Studio) you want to register.

Connecting by Bluetooth
When a mobile device is connected using Bluetooth, you can hear stereo sound without the hassle of cabling.
Step 1. Press Mic On/Off button on the WiFi Speaker for 3 seconds or longer.
Step 2. On your device, select Music Studio from the list that appears.
Step 3. Play music files from the device connected by Bluetooth through the WiFi Speaker.

- The WiFi Speaker automatically turns off after 18 minutes in the Ready state.
Connecting to Apple AirPlay
With AirPlay, you can enjoy music, podcasts, and other audio on your Samsung WiFi Speaker, right from your Apple devices.
Note:
- To enable AirPlay in your WiFi Speaker, you must first register the device with the Samsung Sound app by agreeing with the app's terms and conditions.
- To use AirPlay with your Samsung WiFi Speaker, the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS is recommended.
Step 1. Make sure the WiFi Speaker is powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple device.
Step 2. Select the AirPlay icon from an AirPlay-supported app or Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Step 3. Select the WiFi Speaker from the list of available devices to play the current audio to.
Note:
- If you connect your WiFi Speaker to a mobile device while the WiFi Speaker is connected to the TV, the WiFi Speaker outputs sound from the mobile device while keeping the TV connection. So the TV sound will not be delivered anywhere. Disconnect the mobile device, and the TV sound will be output from the WiFi Speaker again.
- If the WiFi Speaker is playing the TV sound, the connection to the TV is disconnected when creating a group.
