Hi Guys,

Not sure if I have posted this in the right place...
I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I am having. I work in a graphic design studio and we like to have music playing throughout the day. Our current set up is 3 pairs of NOCS NS2 Air Monitors connected but Aux cable to 3 different AirPort Express' which are set up as Ethernet AirPlayers (don't broadcast a wireless signal). We then use AirFoil to broadcast music from mostly Spotify but sometimes Safari and iTunes.

All users have AirFoil so they can stream music at their own will, the original setup was over Wi-Fi but we found this to cut in and out so i changed it to hard wired in the hope it would drop out. However it seems to only work on some peoples Macs, for example the power users on Late 2013 Mac Pros send their music and it drops in and out. I assume be the sizes of the files they are working on from the server. However some people like myself can send music with no interruptions from a Mac Mini.

Can anybody suggest a set up that will allow us to send music via ethernet or wifi to multiple speakers without having to worry about the signal dropping in and out?
Is there something in my set up that I am doing wrong?

Any advice would be much appreciated as this is a real thorn in my side at the moment.

Thanks
Miles K
