Choosing your speakers
TV first, music first, or both
For TV sound with the least fuss, choose the Cube. It plugs into your TV's HDMI ARC socket, so the TV remote sets the volume. If music matters most, the One, Two and Three stream from your phone by Bluetooth and also take an optical lead from the TV, so they cover both jobs.
Match the speaker to the room
Choose the One, a two-way bookshelf pair, for a smaller space. The Two adds dual concentric drivers, with the tweeter mounted in the middle of the main driver, while keeping the cabinet compact. The Three uses a three-way design meant for large rooms, so it's the pick for a big lounge or an open-plan layout.
Indoors or out
All the pairs except the Go run from mains sockets. The Go is small enough to carry and runs on battery, so it can follow you outside or into another room. Its carry case is sold separately.
If you play records
The Bluetooth turntable sends music straight to wireless speakers, so you don't need an amplifier. The phono output means it can join a traditional hi-fi instead. If you'd rather not match parts at all, the Groove pairs the turntable and speakers for you. For any other turntable, check its connections on the product page.
Connecting to a TV
The Cube uses HDMI ARC. The One, Two and Three use an optical input, which most TVs have. Compare the sockets listed on the product page with the back of your TV before you order.
No cable between the speakers
In each pair, left and right talk to each other wirelessly. Plug both into the mains, connect the TV lead or pair your phone, and follow the quick-start guide.
Before you buy
- Find the sockets. Every speaker in a wireless pair still plugs into the mains, so you'll want a socket near each.
- Space them out. A stereo pair sounds best set apart, at roughly the height of your ears.
- Stands or shelves? Mitchell Acoustics favours stands over shelves, and offers its own uStream floor stands.
- Avoid tight corners. Speakers squeezed into a corner or cupboard can boom. A little room around them sounds cleaner.

Mitchell Acoustics: your questions answered
Will uStream speakers work with my TV?
Yes. Use the Cube's HDMI ARC connection, or an optical lead for the One, Two and Three. Check the product page against your TV's sockets.
Is there a cable between the left and right speaker?
No. Each pair links wirelessly. Each speaker does need mains power, except the battery-powered Go.
Which pair is best for a large room?
The uStream Three. Its three-way design is built for bigger rooms, and it has Bluetooth plus an optical input.
Can the turntable play through wireless speakers?
Yes, over Bluetooth. Prefer cables? Its phono output connects to an existing hi-fi amplifier.
What comes with the uStream Groove?
Two Cube wireless speakers plus a belt-driven Bluetooth turntable, all in one box.
Should the speakers go on stands?
Where you can, yes. The brand favours stands over shelves and produces floor stands to suit uStream.
