need for any convoluted Bluetooth pairing between devices every time you want to listen
to music.

WiiM Pro turns your stereo into an AirPlay 2-enabled speaker to stream the music that you
love from iOS, Mac and PC devices or stream TV audio from Apple TV. It’s an easy and
affordable way to connect your Apple devices to your favorite audio equipment and
upgrade to an AirPlay 2 receiver.
With AirPlay 2, it lets you stream music from your iOS, MAC, PC and Apple TV device to
more than one product to create multiroom audio experience over WiFi.
The WiiM Pro can play AirPlay 2 audio, which allows you to quickly stream audio
from your Apple device to the external speaker or multiple speakers.
NOTES:

Version 1.2
With the WiiM Pro, it’s easy to build your wireless multiroom sound system with other
AirPlay 2 speakers, Amazon Echo (or Alexa built-in devices) or Google Home. You can
create even more flexible multiroom sound system with multiple WiiM Pros, WiiM Minis and
your existing audio devices. All types of audio input including WiFi, BT, analog Line in or
digital SPDIF in, can be used as the audio source for the multiroom system.

WiiM Pro can be used as the preamplifier and network audio transmitter via WiFi or
Ethernet. You can stream the analog audio input from CD player, vinyl recorder, TV or
computer to another (or multiple) WiiM Pro connected device.
Once completed, the music playing from the device plugged into the WiiM Pro will play
to your multiroom music group.
You can do the same for the SPDIF input port of WiiM Pro if your source device has
the digital audio output via SPDIF.
When used as a preamplifier, WiiM Pro has the built-in EQ so you can process the
audio input based on your taste and control the audio volume in the app remotely.
Version 1.2
There are three ways to connect audio output of WiiM Pro to your DAC, Amplifier or
powered speaker, the analog LINE out and the digital optical (TOSLINK) or Coaxial port. If
you want to have the bit perfect audio output, please use the digital audio output and enable
the fixed line-out level. You can do so from the device setting on the WiiM Home App.
Thus, there are two ways to control the volume of your system.
- Control volume from your AVR or amplifier (Fixed volume output)
- Control the volume from WiiM Home App
● Depending on the output you prefer to use, plug the SPDIF/RCA/COAX end of
the cable into the corresponding output port on the WiiM Pro.
● Open the WiiM Home App on your iOS or Android device.
● Start playing on the output devices.
Bluetooth wireless technology lets you stream music from mobile devices such as
smartphones, tablets, TV and laptop computers. Before you can stream music from a
device, you must first pair your mobile device to the WiiM Pro. You can put the WiiM Pro
into the pairing mode by press and hold the volume ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons together for 2
seconds.
The Bluetooth supports A2DP and AVRCP profile and both SBC and AAC codec are
supported.
