CTOnews.com, February 10 (Xinhua)-- according to Apple's official statement, building a HomePod stereo combination requires two HomePod speakers of the same model, such as two HomePod mini, two HomePod (second generation) or two HomePod (first generation), and cannot be mixed.

However, through some software skills, mashup matching can be achieved. If you already have a CTOnews.com user with a primary HomePod and want to buy a second-generation HomePod to build a stereo, share a macOS software here.

First you need to download the macOS application called Airfoil. This software is developed by Rogue Amoeba and has previously launched a number of excellent Mac audio control software. Airfoil allows you to stream audio to a variety of different devices, such as HomePods.

After installing Airfoil on Mac, the first step is to navigate to the application folder in macOS and locate Airfoil. Right-click it and select the copy option; in fact, what we are doing is creating two different AirFoil applications on our Mac. One of them will be used to control the left HomePod, and the other will be used to control the right HomePod.

Now, open two instances of Airfoil. You should see a list of all available speaker output options on Mac, including each of your HomePod. At the top of these two instances, you will see a Source button. Users can change the source according to their needs.

In both Airfoil apps, the HomePod connected on the left plays only the left channel, and the HomePod connected on the right plays only the right channel. In this way, you can achieve stereo effect, but this combination is different from Apple's official after all, interested CTOnews.com netizens can try.
