Wiim Amp - "Stream" from sound mixer

[putefabio]

Hello all.

I Have a Wiim AMP on my living room, just conected to 2 outdoor speakers, where i usually listen to music in the garden via spotify or plex.

Upstairs i have a yamaha ag06 sound mixer (that is conected to my dj setup and PC).

My goal is to "stream" from the mixer to the wiim amp, so i can, for example, listen to my vinyl on the garden speakers.

Has they are in separate floors, i cant just install rca between the mixer and the wiim amp, so what is the best way to acomplish this?

I'd suggest using a WiiM Pro or Pro Plus taking the feed from the mixer, grouped with the WiiM Amp in the wiim app to wirelessly share the audio. I presume you have a turntable pre-amp?

OR

1. Install Stream What You Hear on PC - https://github.com/dheijl/swyh-rs - and use Open Network Stream on WiiM Amp. Zero cost assuming the PC is connected to Mixer with a soundcard for recording.

OR

2. Get yourself a Raspberry Pi and a cheap USB ADC (Behringer UCA202), install piCorePlayer and configure it in Streamer mode.
Will take the analogue output from your mixer and convert it into a playable Internet Radio type stream which you can then connect to on your WiiM Amp via Open Network Stream. Assuming all components will need purchasing it is similar cost wise to WiiM Pro but does have more flexibility.

A third method is to use VLC on PC to create a playable stream but it is a bit of a pain to set up.

I apreciate your awnsers, using PC or RPI to acomplished this may work, i have seen something about that network stream on wiim app, ill give it a go to check how it works

I have my pc on all the time but i was trying to use a more direct method, leaving PC out of the equation, but this is the most cost efective solution

Does that Mixer have USB?

Yamaha ag06 has USB conected to my PC so i can send audio from PC to my speakers and so i can record mixes from dj setup, it works both ways

In which case the SWYH approach is easiest to set up and test. Don’t expect it to sync with the WiiM Amp though.

If that works but you want to have the PC off just get a Pi and use USB from Mixer into it
