Wiim ultra and Phono in

[Lucanorillo]

Hi. I have my Wiim Ultra connected to my turntable Technics mk2 by RCA and ground cable.
All is fine but... when I power off the turntable the screen of the Ultra continues ON and doesnt power off.
Any idea?

Probably to be expected as the wiim is still 'listening' to the phono input.
Do you have the Standby Mode set in the wiim app?

 

[Lucanorillo]

Yes, I have two minutes. In wifi input mode it power off after two minutes, but in phono in continues ON all the time(with the graphic three blue bars moving)

My first thought is that your turntable setup’s noise level is so high that the Ultra phono in recognizes it as music.
Therefore I ask:
What cartridge is on your turntable?
What are the phono input settings on your Ultra?

 

[Lucanorillo]

It happens with different turntables.
Cartridge is ortofon music blue
Phono input is without pre grain, all is by default.

 

[Mr Ee]

Maybe send feedback to wiim via the app from the '... More" menu in the bottom left of the main screen.

as Valentino said...it's normal unless you implement a cut-off trigger (quite awkward here) ...we're not in the digital flow

I had the similar situation with Line In.

I have Belkin AirPlay attached to this input.
When Belkin was powered from Ultra USB, after i stopped music the input was still active showing music (dancing blue lines) endlessly. I even reported this to Wiim but all the responses were not helpful.
However, when I decided to power Belkin with regular power adaptor, its behaviour and Ultra’s have changed. There is finally autostop function when source is stopped, but it takes like 2 minutes to activate it. Than standby mode clock starts and device goes into sleep (time depending on sleep/standby timer setting).

This is the answer of the WiiM Support:

We’ve reported your issue to our engineering team for review and analysis. They’ve confirmed that the Phono In feature does not include auto-sensing, so it will not automatically enter idle mode.

I think It would be a nice improvement for a firmware update
