1.1 TYPICAL USE CASES

The WiiM Pro is designed to enhance your existing audio setup by adding wireless
streaming capabilities and smart features. Here are a few common use cases for the WiiM
Pro:

I. Upgrade your Favorite Legacy Audio Systems: If you have a traditional stereo

system or speakers that you want to integrate into your Apple AirPlay 2, Google
Chromecast, Amazon Alexa or LinkPlay ecosystem, the WiiM Pro allows you to
wirelessly stream music to those speakers. It bridges the gap between your older
audio equipment and the modern world of streaming music.

II. High-Quality Audio: It supports bit-perfect, high-resolution audio formats and

delivers rich, detailed sound, enhancing the listening experience of your existing
audio system.

III. Streaming Services and Music Libraries: The WiiM Pro allows you to access

various streaming services such as Spotify, Amazon Music, or Tidal, bringing a
wide range of music to your existing audio setup. You can also connect it to your
personal music library stored on a computer or network-attached storage device
for seamless playback.

IV. Podcasts and Internet Radio: In addition to streaming music, the WiiM Pro

provides access to a wide range of podcasts and internet radio stations. You can
browse through different genres, podcasts, or specific radio stations to enjoy on

Version 1.7 Updated on 7/5/2023

your existing audio system.

V. Multi-Room Audio: The WiiM Pro seamlessly integrates with other 3rd party

popular smart speakers and components, or another WiiM/Linkplay device,
allowing you to create a whole-home audio system with synchronized music
playback in multiple rooms.

VI. Smart Home Integration: The WiiM Pro supports voice control through platforms

like Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, allowing you to control your
music hands-free and integrate with other smart home devices.

VII. Vinyl or CD Integration: If you have a turntable or CD player that you want to

incorporate into your WiiM system, the WiiM Pro can connect to the analog or
digital outputs of these devices, allowing you to stream the audio wirelessly to
other speakers attached with another WiiM device or enjoy it throughout your
home.

VIII. Home Theater Integration: The WiiM Pro can be used as a bridge between your

home theater system and the WiiM ecosystem. By connecting the Pro to your AV
receiver or soundbar, you can stream music wirelessly to your home theater
speakers and synchronize audio playback with other WiiM devices for a cohesive
audio experience.

1.2 OTHER DEVICES NEEDED TO USE WIIM PRO

To use the WiiM Pro, you will need a few essential devices and components. Here's a list
of what you'll need:

• Audio System: The WiiM Pro is designed to connect to an existing audio system.

This can be a stereo system, powered speakers, passive speakers with an
amplifier/receiver, or a home theater setup with an AV receiver or soundbar. Make
sure you have the appropriate audio system in place.

• Wi-Fi Network: The WiiM Pro requires a stable Wi-Fi network connection to function.

Ensure that you have a reliable Wi-Fi network available in the area where you plan
to set up the WiiM Pro. You'll need the Wi-Fi network credentials during the setup
process.

• Smartphone or Tablet: You'll need a compatible smartphone or tablet (iOS or

Android) with the WiiM Home app installed. The WiiM Home app is used for initial
setup, configuration, and control of the WiiM Pro.

• Power Source: The WiiM Pro needs to be connected to a power source using the

included power adapter and cable. Ensure that you have an electrical outlet nearby
to power the device.

• Ethernet Cable (optional): While the WiiM Pro primarily connects to your Wi-Fi

network, it also has an Ethernet port. If you prefer a wired connection for added
stability, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect the WiiM Pro directly to your
router or network switch.

These are the core components required to use the WiiM Pro. It's important to have an
audio system that you want to integrate with the Pro, a stable Wi-Fi network, and a
compatible device with the WiiM Home app for setup and control.

WiiM Pro devices, play streaming music the whole house. Or plug in a stereo component—
like an amplified turntable, CD player, or MP3 player—and simultaneously cast music to
multiple WiiM Pro or WiiM Mini connected speakers.

You can also group with other AirPlay 2-enabled devices, Amazon Echo or Google Home,
creating a whole-home audio system with synchronized music playback in multiple rooms.
The grouping with non-WiiM or LinkPlay devices must use the corresponding Apps like the
Alexa or Google Home App.

Please note that when playing with HomePod, Amazon Echo, or Google Home devices,
WiiM Pro is the audio receiver. It can’t transmit its physical audio input (via Line-In or
Optical-In) to other non-WiiM devices such as HomePod, Sonos, Amazon Echo, or Google
Home devices via Wi-Fi.

5.4 USE 12 V TRIGGER OUT

WiiM Pro will raise the voltage on the 12v trigger rail when the music starts to play. It will
lower the trigger’s voltage two and a half minutes after stopping playback. Whether the
connected amplifier acts on this immediately or has its own timeout to be enacted is down
to the manufacturer and may vary.

The external DAC or amplifier can use 12 V trigger to determine if the music starts or stops.
Please check your device manual with trigger input for details.

7 DIRECT CONTROL VIA YOUR FAVORITE APP

You can stream from your favorite apps directly to your WiiM Pro with the following
approaches.

Depending on your mobile devices and music service, there may be multiple ways to
stream from your music app to WiiM devices. I.e., if you use Spotify App on iOS device,
you can use either Spotify Connect or AirPlay 2. However, Spotify Connect gives you better
audio quality compared with AirPlay 2 and liberate your phone for other tasks.

7.1 SPOTIFY CONNECT

Spotify Connect is a way of playing Spotify through your wireless-compatible device over
Wi-Fi. That means you can play your favorite tunes anywhere in the house without the
need for convoluted Bluetooth pairing between devices whenever you want to listen to
music.

Spotify Connect works from smart phone, tablet or PC that functions as a remote control
for Spotify. Both free and premium account are supported. Go to Spotify.com/connect to
learn more. It’s the best way to play Spotify on WiiM device giving the best possible audio
quality and streaming experience.

The Spotify Software is subject to third-party licenses found here:

Version 1.7 Updated on 7/5/2023

https://www.spotify.com/connect/third-party-licenses

To use Spotify Connect with multiroom or stereo pairing, you can first group multiple WiiM
devices on WiiM Home App then stream Spotify to the grouped devices. The group name
is the same as the group master device.

7.2 AIRPLAY 2

WiiM Pro turns your stereo into an AirPlay 2-enabled speaker to stream the music you
love from iOS, Mac, and PC devices or stream 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.

AirPlay 2 lets you stream music from your iOS, MAC, PC, and Apple TV device to more
than one product to create a multiroom audio experience over Wi-Fi.

NOTES:

• To use AirPlay 2, you need an Apple device running iOS 11.4 or later.

• Your Apple device and WiiM Pro must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

• For more information about AirPlay 2, visit: https://www.apple.com/airplay

You can either start the AirPlay 2 streaming from the music App or the iOS control center.
The steps are shown below for both cases.

7.3 TIDAL CONNECT

TIDAL is a global music streaming platform bringing fans closer to artists through unique
experiences and the highest sound quality. Stream your favorite music seamlessly from
TIDAL App straight to your devices in the highest possible quality.

TIDAL Connect is a feature that allows you to stream music from the TIDAL App to
compatible devices. It's similar to Apple AirPlay and Spotify Connect in that it lets users
stream music to connected devices from within the App. This means you can use your
smartphone or computer as a controller to play music on WiiM Pro.

WiiM Pro also supports MQA decoder for the TIDAL Connect up to 24-bits/96 kHz if you
subscribe to TIDAL Hi-Fi+ tier. If your external DAC or Amplifier can support MQA decoder
or render, you can get even higher sample rate/bit depth than 24-bit/96 kHz.

To use Tidal Connect, you need to launch the Tidal App on your mobile device. Then find
and play a song you like and head to the 'Now Playing' screen. Touch on the 'cast' icon at
the top right on the ‘Now Playing’ screen and select a WiiM Pro device from the list.

7.4 AMAZON MUSIC CAST (ALEXA CAST)

Alexa Cast is a feature that allows you to play and control music on any of your Alexa
devices from your Amazon Music iOS or Android app. You can discover all your Alexa
devices from your music app. Your devices do not need to be on the same Wi-Fi network
as your mobile device. You can target any device from anywhere. Once you pick a target
device, the music you selected on your App will start playing on the chosen device. You
can now follow along on your App. When you tap skip on your App, your device skips to
the next track. Your App becomes a remote control for the device.

WiiM Pro is one of the first devices that support Alexa Cast with bit-perfect output up to
192 kHz/24-bit. Thus, you can listen to your Amazon Music Ultra HD directly from the native
Amazon Music to WiiM Pro in the highest possible quality.

To use this, please log in to your Amazon account for Amazon Alexa on the WiiM Home
App. Also, make sure you have the latest version of the Amazon Music app. Next, on the
"Now Playing" screen, you will see a casting icon in the top right. Tapping the icon will bring
up the list of all your available Alexa devices for you to select.

Once you have started casting, you can still use voice to control the music playing on the

Version 1.7 Updated on 7/5/2023

device. You can switch between using your voice and your App based on your convenience.
When you want to stop casting to a device and resume playing on your phone, you will
have to pull up the device list and tap the disconnect button.

7.5 CHROMECAST AUDIO

Chromecast audio lets you instantly stream your favorite music, radio, or podcasts from
your favorite Chromecast-enabled apps on the mobile device to your speakers over Wi-Fi.
Once you have set up WiiM Pro, you can enable Chromecast from the WiiM Home
companion app. Then, open a compatible app on your smartphone or tablet and tap the
Cast button. This will allow you to select your WiiM Pro and start streaming audio to it.

Most music apps on both iOS and Android already support Chromecast such as Spotify,
Apple Music, TIDAL, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and Deezer. You can also cast any
audio from your Chrome browser by selecting Menu > Cast.

Chromecast can also be used for multi-room audio, playing music in sync to multiple
speakers from compatible brands and WiiM Pro, using the Google Home app.

7.6 DLNA

DLNA stands for Digital Living Network Alliance. It is a trade organization that sets
standards and guidelines for home networking devices, including PCs, smartphones,
tablets, smart TVs, Blu-ray Disc players, home theater receivers, and media streamers,
among others. When a DLNA certified device is added to a home network, it can
automatically communicate and share media files with other connected DLNA products on
the network.

WiiM Pro is the DLNA digital media render. When it’s connected to the same network as
your other DLNA devices or apps, it appears in the menus of other networked components.
Your computer and other media devices discover and recognize the WiiM Pro without any
setup.

You can control the WiiM Pro from other DLNA digital media player or controller. You can
also play content to the WiiM Pro from other DLNA digital media servers, all without
additional setup.

8 ALL MUSIC IN ONE APP

With the free WiiM Home App, you can control your content and devices from one place.
We support many popular music streaming services in the App, such as Spotify,
iHeartRadio, Tidal, Amazon Prime Music and Unlimited, SoundCloud, Qobuz, Pandora,
Deezer, TuneIn & more to come. You can also play music stored in your mobile device,
local network media servers, or personal cloud server.

The App supports the unified search across multiple music services and your local network
for artist, track, station, playlist, etc. It's a powerful tool to discover your favorite content
from your online and local library.

Version 1.7 Updated on 7/5/2023

The WiiM Home App supports equalization (EQ) with two options: 24 EQ presets or a 10­band graphical EQ. These EQ settings can be assigned to different sources, such as AUX
in, online music, or Bluetooth streaming.

The App has twelve music presets that allow you to save your favorite station, playlist,
album, etc., and access them later with the preset button on the Pro, remote, or the App
with one tap.

9 MULTIROOM AND STEREO PAIRING

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 an even more flexible multiroom sound system with multiple WiiM Pros, WiiM Minis,
and your existing audio devices.

9.1 LINKPLAY MULTIROOM/STEREO PAIRING

With our proprietary multiroom scheme, all types of audio input, including Wi-Fi, BT, analog
Line in, or digital SPDIF in, can be used as the audio source for the multiroom system.

In addition, you can group two speakers connected with WiiM Pro or WiiM Mini as a stereo
pair for a wider, more immersive sound stage. It supports all four input options too. Thus,
it can work with almost every music listening option.

To use this, please follow the steps below.

Version 1.7 Updated on 7/5/2023

Since the WiiM Pro is an Alexa Cast audio receiver, not a transmitter, it can’t transmit
the Line-in or Optical-in audio to other Alexa-enabled devices such as Echo.

9.3 MULTIROOM WITH CHROMECAST AUDIO DEVICES

You can group WiiM Pro with other Google Home or Chromecast audio enabled devices
to play the same music on all devices via the Google Home App.

● Enter Google Home App, tap the “+” in the top left corner

● Tap “Create speaker group” to create a speaker group

● Select the devices that are in the same network

Since the WiiM Pro is a Chromecast audio receiver, not a transmitter, it can’t transmit the
Line-in or Optical-in audio to other Chromecast audio devices such as Google Home.

Version 1.7 Updated on 7/5/2023

10 AUDIO INPUT VIA LINE IN OR SPDIF IN

WiiM Pro can be used as the preamplifier and network audio transmitter via Wi-Fi or
Ethernet. You can stream the analog audio input from a CD player, vinyl player, TV or
computer to another (or multiple) WiiM Pro or Mini connected device.

To set up the WiiM Pro with the line-in input:

1. Plug the line-in cable into the LINE IN port on the back of the WiiM Pro.

2. Plug the other end of the cable into the record player.

3. In the WiiM Home app, Go to Browse > Select source on device > LINE IN,
and select the LINE IN for the source of the audio distribution.

4. Create a multiroom music group with your WiiM Pro. On WiiM Home app, Go

to Devices, and select the WiiM Pro connected with your LINE-IN device. Tap
the group button (with a "link" icon in a box) at the top right corner of the device
box. Select the WiiM Pro you wish to transmit the audio.

Once completed, the music 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.

You can also enable “Autosense” on the WiiM Pro to automatically play your Line-In
or Optical-In source when WiiM Pro detects a signal. You can enable this feature from
the WiiM Home App.

WiiM Pro has a built-in EQ to process the audio input based on your taste. You can
also control the audio volume in the App remotely without adjusting your audio input.

Some source devices may require a preamp. For example, some turntables do not
have a preamp built-in, so you will need to connect your turntable to an external
preamp and then connect the preamp to WiiM Pro.

Version 1.7 Updated on 7/5/2023

11 AUDIO OUTPUT VIA LINE /SPDIF/COAX/BT OUT

There are three separate audio output interfaces on WiiM Pro that you can use to connect
your DAC, Amplifier, or powered speaker. These are the analog LINE out, the digital optical
(TOSLINK), and the Coaxial port. Please note that WiiM Pro only outputs audio to one of
the audio outputs.

It’s important to select the correct audio output port. Otherwise, you may not be able to
hear the sound.

If you want the bit-perfect audio output, please use the digital audio output and enable the
fixed volume output. You can do so from the device setting on the WiiM Home App.

Thus, you have two ways to control the volume of your system.

- Control volume from your AVR or amplifier (Fixed volume output)

- Control the volume from the WiiM Home App. To do so, you need to turn off the fixed

volume output.

11.1 AUDIO OUTPUT VIA SPDIF/COAX/LINE OUT

● 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.

11.2 AUDIO OUTPUT VIA BT OUT (BT sourcing mode)

● Open the WiiM Home App on your iOS or Android device.

● Select Device Tab, and tap the device setting gear icon.

● Tap the Audio Output setting and select Bluetooth to connect to an external

Bluetooth device (such as an amplifier or speaker)

● Start playing music.

12 STREAM AUDIO TO WIIM PRO WITH BLUETOOTH

Bluetooth wireless technology lets you stream music from mobile devices such as
smartphones, tablets, TV, and laptop computers. Before streaming music from a device,
you must pair your mobile device to the WiiM Pro. You can put the WiiM Pro into the pairing
mode by pressing and holding the volume '+' and '-‘ buttons together for 2 seconds.

Bluetooth supports A2DP and AVRCP profiles, and both SBC and AAC codecs are
supported.
