This would be for my patio system. Do you think it will drive these speakers to a decent level or should I get a Pro and separate amp? Right now I have a Fosi amp and am not all that impressed. The amp/WiiM will be in an ABS outdoor weather resistant box and mostly controlled by the WiiM Home App including volume.

Rather early to say as again it’ll depend on how hard your speakers are to drive…
I’d wait till they at least get some beta units out to test then perhaps ask again
thanks. seems like I am always chasing something in the future.
I like that it uses an A/C cord instead of a USB wall wart. Looks nice too!

Nooooooo!
The L / R speaker terminals are the wrong way around!

Fair point - the speaker cables would need to cross over each other when viewed from the front.
@WiiM Team Could this be rectified before it goes into production?

6 indicator lights. 6 inputs: analog / USB / Optical / BT / WiFi / HDMI Arc
Good guess? There surely will be a remote control to switch between inputs, yes? @WiiM Team

The existing WiiM remote does that for my Pro Plus, so no reason for the Amp not to have a remote that does the same.

@WiiM Team metal cases generally mean external WiFi / BT antennae. How are you getting around this?

Hi Brantome, Team
This has been rectified, so we'll update the pictures. Thanks for letting us know.

The AMP's base is made of plastic, which is where the antenna is connected. Our design approach is akin to what you'd find in an Apple Mac Mini.
How many watts per channel?

Hi Smartplug,
It's 60W/channel at 8ohms, 120W/channel at 4ohms. Thank you!

Can you tell us the model of amplifier? Seems something like a TPA3244 ?

Odd as I have a few TPA3255 and they have much higher output than 60W into 8Ohms - depending on the power supply but maybe Wiim are being "honest" with the output provided by their shipped power supply.TPA3255, 300 USD, begining of November.

Please don’t take away the Coax Out! I assume that this will carry a Class D amp. Will it be Infineon, ICE or something better? Speakers apart, this looks like an input only deviceforum.wiimhome.com
