Along with the release of the upgraded Chromecast, Google also introduced a new member of the family - Chromecast Audio, which allows your old speakers to play streaming music directly from laptops, Android or iOS devices after being plugged into the device. After the press conference, the editor of foreign media The Next News was fortunate to get this device from Google and was the first to bring an unboxing and initial experience. hardware: The connection of Chromecast Audio is very simple. After plugging in the power supply, connect the device to your audio system via AUX (regular 3.5mm headphone cable). The whole device is very small, measuring 51.9mm x 51.9mm x 13.49mm and weighing 30.7g, which is obviously portable. When you are in the same WiFi network environment, you can use the Chromecast application to stream content. The device supports 2.4Ghz and faster 5Ghz WiFi connections, and supports Android 4.1 and above, iOS 7.0 and above, Mac OS X 10.7 and Windows 7 and later versions. User experience: First you need to download the latest version of the Chromecast app and you can start using it. First you need to click the Scan button in the app and the Chromecast Audio will appear in the device list. Select it and follow the prompts to set up the password and other related settings. In the final stage of the setup, you can name the device, connect to your WiFi network, etc. The upgraded Chromecast app is very useful. The "What's On" tab allows you to view the applications that the current device can use; "Devices" shows what is currently playing, and "Get apps" is to add applications. Here you can access and download Chromecast-compatible applications through the Play Store. In the short use of the two applications Rdio and Pocket Cast, I found that the music transmission was very smooth. During the trial, foreign media unexpectedly found that in the actual test, the volume can be controlled by the volume button of the mobile phone. The volume control can indeed be achieved when the Rdio application is opened, but it is invalid on the main screen. Feeling after use: Chromecast Audio is a great option for those looking for a cheap and straightforward way to add Bluetooth wireless connectivity to older speakers.
