How to Configuration Dual Mono Mode with Wiim Amp?

[face2face]

Hi,

Is it possible to have dual mono configurations?

In the manual :
"The WiiM Amp features one pair of passive speaker terminals (shown in figure below) and a separate subwoofer out to connect to powered subwoofer. You can output audio to speaker terminals in stereo or dual mono mode. "

Can you tell me how to actually configure it?

The output can be set to mono in the device Audio settings in Audio Channel.

Thank you for your opinion.

Do I just set it up in the Wiim home app without a separate pre-amplifier (wiim ultra)?

Does it show up as one wim amplifier when playing with Tidal m connect?

It is just the WiiM device that plays the same Mono signal on both channels. It cannot play different streams on each.

What exactly do you want to do? I have no idea why the mono option is available but it isn't to turn the WiiM Amp into a monoblock.

In other words, you need a preamplifier to signal to a single amplifier, right?

Ex) Wim Ultra -> L (wiim Amp1), R (wiim Amp2)

And does it output 8 ohm 60W even if it's composed of mono?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about or trying to do.

I think that the Mono setting is ment primarily for the support of the new standalone speakers, just as the left/right is.

I'm curious about the dual mono mode setting in the manual
I was wondering if the dual mono mode would be bridge mode?

Ah OK. It isn't bridge mode. It just sends the same mono signal to both channels.

You can drive one WiiM Amp per speaker if you use a multi-music group and play it on two WiiM Amps at the same time. However, I am not sure if that would work sound-wise.

If you already have two Amps, I suppose you could give it a try.

Why though?

About what?

I thought the OP wanted to do that, did I read that wrong?

I know but it makes no sense.

I don't know.

...Perhaps it would be possible to increase PEQ to 40 bands?
