Updated 2 minis to latest firmware but still showing 4 band PEQ:

Strange I have 10 band on same firmware

 

[Jutriana]

My bad. Checked only on my iphone. My Android is showing the 10 bands.

Mine has landed.

Woo-hoo!

So I gave the 10 band PEQ a try… and it didn’t seem to apply any equalization to the audio.

Wi-Fi input (airplay) -> Bluetooth output

Found the same to be true also with the GEQ on the latest firmware. Even the craziest huge EQ swings had no effect on the output.

Am I missing something? Is this maybe a bug with eq and the Bluetooth output?

 

[Brantome]

It doesn’t apply eq/peq to Bluetooth output

Seriously, blutooth are not for serious music listening. It’s sound compress, lack depth poor definition. I guess to those listener quality don’t matter as long it produce music.

I have several WiiMs - this one is for a portable battery powered garden speaker that could really use some EQ.

It’s admittedly a somewhat novel use. But it’s pretty neat that I can use that Bluetooth speaker as a part of a multi-room setup (and with manually adjusted delay get them all to sync up.)

If you adjust the EQ on an iOS device that is transmitting Airplay, will it not apply?

Do you mean the EQ built into the iOS/Music app?

If so, unfortunately that won’t really help, it’s just a bunch of preset eq curves. Not customizable. And if it does work over airplay, then it would affect all speakers connected - not ideal.

iOS / Music app EQ does not work with Airplay and it was one of main reasons why I bought WiiM Mini. However it works with Bluetooth. And as you said there are only presets to work with. But you can at least ease an access to EQ settings by adding this shortcut to homescreen:

(it just opens url prefs:root=MUSIC&path=com.apple.Music%3AEQ if you want to create shortcut yourself)

Hello, is anyone experiencing Wi-Fi issues since the latest update?

I am, and my WiiM Mini sometimes is not recognizable to the WiiM Home App, even if I reboot the device or hold the play button for 3 seconds in order to force find it. I remember having similar network issues with one of the older firmware versions which has been fixed in the past and worked like a charm for me (there was a DHCP fix in the changelog) as I use a Wi-Fi 6 MESH network. It even goes so far that one of my MESH APs is going into error mode.
