What Are Zones?
Spottune supports two speaker zones:
Zone 1
Zone 2
Each Omni speaker can be assigned to either Zone 1 or Zone 2.
This allows you to group speakers into separate areas of a store, restaurant, or other commercial space and control which speakers receive audio.

The speaker has been assigned to the correct zone.
The Stream is currently playing the corresponding zone.
If in doubt, select Zone 1 + Zone 2 to ensure all speakers receive audio.
