# Airfoil Satellite:
Turn Your Mac Into an Audio Receiver

Airfoil Satellite lets you turn any Mac on your network into an audio receiver for Airfoil. Send audio from your Mac (or PC, running Airfoil for Windows) to any Mac. Whether you just want to send from one Mac to another, or run an office-wide “radio” station, Airfoil Satellite makes it easier than ever to send music all around your network!

### Getting Started

To begin, simply run Airfoil Satellite on any Macs where you want to receive audio. Once Airfoil Satellie is running on another machine on your local network, that machine will appear in Airfoil as an available output. Click the Transmit button next to that machine in Airfoil to send audio to it.

Airfoil Satellite isn't limited to just Macs. You can turn almost any device into a receiver to play audio. We've got versions available for many additional platforms right on our site.
