Technology for grouping, consolidating, and pairing individual playback devices with network capability (players) to stimulate a multi-channel listening environment is disclosed. An example method includes receiving an audio signal containing a range of audio frequencies; amplifying, according to a gain parameter, the audio signal to be reproduced by at least one speaker. The example method includes automatically increasing the gain parameter to a higher gain parameter responsive to a determination that no more than a subset of the range of audio frequencies is to be reproduced by the at least one speaker. The example method includes amplifying, according to the higher gain parameter, the audio signal containing no more than the subset of the range of audio frequencies to be reproduced by the at least one speaker.

The playback device of claim 1, wherein when the playback device is not paired with the one or more other playback devices, the playback device is configured to output audio based on the audio data via the plurality of speaker drivers in a stereo mode, and wherein when the playback device is paired with the one or more other playback devices, the playback device is configured to output audio based on the audio data via the plurality of speaker drivers in a theater mode. 6. The playback device of claim 1, wherein when the playback device is not paired with the one or more other playback devices, the playback device is configured to output audio based on the audio data via the plurality of speaker drivers, and wherein when the playback device is paired with the one or more other playback devices, the playback device is configured to output audio based on the audio data via the plurality of speaker drivers in a consolidated mode. 7. The playback device of claim 1, wherein the playback device further comprises a button that when selected configures the playback device to output audio comprising one channel of the audio data. 8. The playback device of claim 1, wherein the network is a wireless network. 9. The playback device of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of speakers, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the playback device to:output audio from the plurality of speakers. 10. The playback device of claim 1, wherein the signal further comprises an instruction for the playback device to play back a left channel of the audio data. 11. The playback device of claim 1, wherein the playback device is further configured to (i) separate the audio data into separate audio channels, (ii) output audio based on audio data of at least one separate audio channel from the plurality of speaker drivers, and (iii) transmit audio data of at least one additional separate audio channel over the network. 12. The playback device of claim 1, wherein the playback device is further configured to (i) separate the audio data into separate audio channels, (ii) output audio based on audio data of at least one separate audio channel from the plurality of speaker drivers, and (iii) transmit the audio data of the at least one separate audio channel and audio data of at least one additional separate audio channel over the network. 13. The playback device of claim 1, wherein the playback device is further configured to (i) separate the audio data into separate audio channels, (ii) output audio based on audio data of at least one separate audio channel from the plurality of speaker drivers, and (iii) transmit the audio data over the network. 14.
