Maschine MK3 with two wireless headphones

Is it possible to connect two wireless headphones to Maschine, on a Macbook, through a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 interface!?

So far I can only connect one at a time by choosing it as a “device” under the “interface”-section in the Maschine Preferences…

In the Audio Midi Setup, on the Mac, I created a “Multi-Output Device” that should allow me to do it, but it just doesn’t seem to work…!?!?

    Try setting up an aggregate device in audio midi setup, then try the speaker set up also in audio midi

    Nothing works with the “aggregate device”, and I can’t figure out the thibg with “speaker set up”, but if I just choose my Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 interface under “Preferences” in the Maschine-software “Settings” everything (meanibg my cable-heasphones and speakers) works except for the two wireless headphones I’m trying to connect…what to do!?

    cool, fyi there’s a tab “configure speakers “ in the bottom right of the screen , but looking at it again an aggregate can be used to setup 4 different speakers

    I looked at it, but I couldn’t figure out what I’m supposed to use it for…!?Ultimately I just wanted to connect, up to several, wireless headphones, so that it’s possible to walk around isolated vibing to a beat, which I now solved…however it seems like there’s a minor latency when using the “Multi-Output Device” instead of straight from the interface, but I guess that’s how it is, right!?

    yeah I think it more for a quadrophonic speaker system, like front and back speakers, but I’m sure In an earlier version you could send the output stream to all outputs in the aggregate device , but that feature looks like it’s been removed.

    Tbh I never used the multi output, mainly use the aggregate device because it combines the inputs of multiple devices


    Might be good idea to look for a Bluetooth splitter , that supports dual headphone connection
