Best AnswerJust to clarify this for everyone. Beolit 12 will not create it's own network, nor is it a Bluetooth unit. If you are on the go and want to use the unit wirelessly you can create a "Hotspot" using your Apple iPhone and the Beolit 12 will connect to your own created network from your phone. Wirelessly you will achieve up to 4 hours use but connecting a cable to your iPhone or other iPod will wive up to 8 hours playback.

Can I use multiple B&O Play Beolit 12 Units throughout the house?

Best AnswerYes and no. At the moment, you cannot use Apple Airplay to stream to multiple devices from an iOS device. However, you can use Airplay with multiple devices using a computer with iTunes as the source. Put simply, you can stream to multiple Beolit 12 units, but only from your computer, not your iPod, iPhone, or iPad.

Does it come with a remote to turn it on and connect to the network for Airplay?

Best AnswerNo remote to turn it on, but once you've established AirPlay connection, your iPhone or iPod Touch IS your remote. What's nice is, the phone's volume syncs with the Beolit's volume, while connected. B&O says all their remotes work with it, but it's really not needed. And the speaker itself is portable, so I don't miss a remote at all.

Best AnswerYes it will. You need to update the software on your beolit. The beolit and the airplay function will stay on when connected to the outlet. The update will also allow you to setup up AirPlay wirelessly through the App on your iPhone or iPad

Answerany product with a headphone output is compatable with the BeoLit 12 when it is wired to the device. the only way for beolit 12 to be wireless is when it is using wifi. BeoLit 12 is an amazing device i cannot believe the sound that thing can pump out!
