TYPICAL USE CASES
The WiiM Ultra 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 Ultra:
I. Upgrade your Favorite Legacy Audio Systems: If you have a traditional stereo
system or speakers that you want to integrate into your Spotify, TIDAL, local Music
library, Google Chromecast, Amazon Alexa, DLNA, Roon, or LinkPlay ecosystem,
the WiiM Ultra 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.

USB disk for seamless playback.

provides access to a wide range of podcasts and internet radio stations. You can

speakers and synchronize audio playback with other WiiM devices for a cohesive

OTHER DEVICES NEEDED TO USE WIIM ULTRA
To use the WiiM Ultra, you will need a few essential devices and components. Here's a
list of what you'll need:
• Audio System: The WiiM Ultra 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 Ultra 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 Ultra. 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 Ultra.
• Power Source: The WiiM Ultra needs to be connected to a power source using
the included power cable. Ensure that you have an electrical outlet nearby to power
the device.
• Ethernet Cable (optional): While the WiiM Ultra 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 Ultra directly to your
router or network switch.
These are the core components required to use the WiiM Ultra. It's important to have an
audio system that you want to integrate with the Ultra, a stable Wi-Fi or wired network, and
a compatible device with the WiiM Home app for setup and control.
