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!

Вопрос новичка о подключении динамика в другой комнате.

У меня есть Wiim Amp Pro с проводными колонками и входами phono, CD, Qoboz и USB. Все очень хорошо.

В настоящее время у меня есть динамик Bluetooth в другой комнате, к которому я могу подключиться с Amp Pro по Bluetooth. Он также используется другими членами семьи для потоковой передачи Spotify. Динамик на самом деле является старым ламповым радио, из которого я вынул внутренности и заменил их новыми динамиками и комплектом Bluetooth, фотография прикреплена без какой-либо реальной причины.

У меня такой вопрос. Если я заменю комплект Bluetooth на Wiim Mini, смогу ли я:

1. воспроизведение с входов Amp Pro на «Mini Speaker» через Wi-Fi
2. как указано выше, но как через проводные динамики Amp Pro, так и через «Mini Speaker» (мультирум)
3. разрешить другим пользователям (вне среды Wiim) использовать Bluetooth для потоковой передачи на «Mini Speaker»

Буду признателен за советы.

Hello! Everything will work very well in the general group! Put the WIIM mini and connect to the WIIM amp.

It looks like my reading comprehension has vastly degraded over the last couple of days and I might have developed a severe case of discalculia, since I read this ...

I have a Wiim Amp Pro with wired speakers and phono, CD, Qoboz and USB inputs.
...
play from the Amp Pro inputs to the "Mini Speaker" via Wi-Fi

... as USB being one input, not the only one.

It's certainly worth mentioning that the WiiM Mini can access music stored on a USB storage device connected to the WiiM Amp Pro with no grouping required. Agreed.

All sounds very encouraging. Now off to buy a Mini. Thanks
