Wiim Amp Pro with Wiim Mini

[ddasterdly]

A beginner question about connecting a speaker in another room.

I have a Wiim Amp Pro with wired speakers and phono, CD, Qoboz and USB inputs. All very good.

I currently have a bluetooth speaker in another room that I can connect to from the Amp Pro with bluetooth. It is also used by other family members for Spotify streaming. The speaker is actually an old valve radio that I removed the internals from and replaced them with new speakers and a bluetooth kit, picture attached for no real reason.

My question is as follows. If I replace the bluetooth kit with a Wiim Mini can I:

1. play from the Amp Pro inputs to the "Mini Speaker" via Wi-Fi
2. as above but over both the wired Amp Pro speakers and the "Mini Speaker" (multi-room)
3. enable other users (outside of the Wiim environment) to use bluetooth to stream to the "Mini Speaker"

Advice appreciated.

Yes, yes and yes

Sure about scenario 1?

I tend to think that the only way to play from the WiiM Amp Pro to the WiiM Mini via Wi-Fi is by grouping them. This equals scenario 2.

You can still set the volume of the Amp Pro to zero, so it is possible to have no output from Mini, only.

If scenario 1 mean to play input from Amp to the Mini and at the same time play something else on the Amp, you are right. I didn't read it like that.

Thanks for the help so far. Scenario 1 is to play from the Amp Pro inputs on the "Mini Speaker" only. I don't see the need for playing something different at the same time.

In this case, scenario 1 is identical to scenario 2, just with the WiiM Amp Pro muted and it will work.

Thank you both for your help. Will give it a go.

Except usb was mentioned as an input, which doesn't require grouping...
... which was why I didn't bother challenging @hgo58's triple yes!
