What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

[WiiM Support]

Would love to see a future Ultra update include the ability to set high and low pass filters at nearly any frequency. For example, it would be great if the WiiM could be used as an active crossover for speakers that can be bi-amped.

If the sub output could be crossed over as high as say, 3000Hz, that would enable many owners to use the Ultra as an active crossover between the tweeters and woofers of their main speakers, providing an instant sound quality upgrade for many speaker systems. This would further solidify the Ultra as the ultimate Swiss Army knife of audio.

Hi Rolls59,

Let me check with our team about adding an option to set a higher crossover frequency beyond 250Hz. The underlying system already supports it, so we’ll explore making this available to you.

But shouldn't you then reduce the volume limit...

The internal processing operates at 32-bit resolution, ensuring that your output's dynamic range remains unaffected. There is sufficient headroom to accommodate a small pre-gain adjustment without issues. We'd like to hear your experience though.

We'd like to hear your experience though.

My amp pro is currently at "30" with 0 gain, and it's plenty loud enough in my office, almost to the point of distraction from work.

Hi,

In my opinion it will not (for @Rolls59). I believe he is requesting stereo high and low pass for bi-amping, which is not possible since the sub output is mono.

If you use 2 WiiM Ultra's to make an MRM group, you can connect the master device to the tweeter and the slave to the woofer. However, both can only apply high pass. (This is because they do not use the sub outputs.)

So you need to be able to use low-pass on the main outputs (Coax, Optical, Line, USB, Speaker).

Still off topic, but wiim support started it...

I realise the main reason for pre gain is to normalise volume from different sources, but just saying the amp pro is plenty loud.
Finally got around to reorganising the home office, and replaced my rather large and heavy Marantz PM8005 with the amp pro.


Yes, that barely visible object on top of the rme is a mini.
No, it's not at all an imbalanced headphone setup
