Wireless SUB integration into the "subwoofer" pages in the app

[A64]

Hi there,

if I understand my newly bought Wiim Amp Pro's app, there's a Bluetooth out available.
I thought I might use it for a wireless subwoofer.

1. Is it possible at all ? (I assume yes, haven't tried yet).

2. If yes, it's kind of second device I assume - can it be configured from the Wiim under the "subwoofer" section ?
It would be nice to be able to mark a Bluetooth-out connected device as a sub so it appears then on the sub subpage With delay, etc.. to be fair.
If the RCA sub is already here in the settings, maybe a 2nd config page for the 2nd (wireless) sub ? Or just beneath the RCA-activated sub's already existing config items.

Unfortunately this is not possible.

The Bluetooth can only be used to output the normal stereo signal.

Only the dedicated sub output is controlled by the WiiM subwoofer configuration.

Hmm thank you. Then integrating the bluetooth-sub remains a task of it's own capabilities to some extent and we global-EQ the rest I assume.

On the other hand it's a perfect feature request then.

I don't think you can do that. The stereo out signal can only go to one output at the time .You cannot send signal to both Bluetooth other speakers.

Maybe you can add a Bluetooth transmitter to the subwoofer out on the WiiM? I think that would work.

 

[A64]

You're right. The only way to add another sub (and get some latency) is a transmitter.

You're right. The only way to add another sub (and get some latency) is a transmitter.

Or, a WiiM mini can be connected to the sub and linked to the WiiM amp pro for group playback. In this case, there is no low-pass filter for the sub, but a 10-band PEQ can be used exclusively for the sub.

 

[A64]

Oh, nice catch. Sure. Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds feasible.

@A64 have you looked into wireless sub transmitter/reciever combos??

e.g.: SVS soundpath wireless - https://www.svsound.com/products/soundpath-wireless-audio-adapter (there's also a tri-band version i think)
or https://dynastyproaudio.com/products/wsa-5tr-v2
or https://international.kef.com/products/kw1-wireless-subwoofer-adapter-kit?variant=32110714847322

Perhaps this might be relevant - though I suspect it will not use BT:

Not yet.. waiting at the moment and thinking, still.. maybe I'll be more clever in couple of days. Anyway, thanks !!!

Hmm sounds insteresting although I haven't checked this in detail.

However.. since Wiims support Bluetooth 5.x and 5.0 already brought us support for multiple simultaneous connections I think it would be a VERY practical idea to be able to attach at least 1 wireless sub (if not 2) to the Bluetooth-out and have a corresponding config page for this/these, incl. individual EQ for both.

Hi, I have the Sonos amp + Elac UBR-62 bookshelves and a Sonos Sub wirelessly connected. The amp filters out the bass from the Elacs and send the bass to the sub. I am quite happy with the sound, what I absolutely miss is room correction…that’s why I ordered the WiiM Ultra to add this functionality. I’ll use the Ultra as a preamp and connect per Toslink to the Sonos amp using the hdmi adapter. All the streaming duties from the Ultra. Do you think I could run the room correction with the sub still connected wiressly to the Sonos amp and achieve some good results? I know the Sonos sub is not The best but being wireless is quite convenient. Thanks in advance for any ideas/tips!

Should work fine in theory - since the ultra would just consider the overall output from the system and make EQ adjustments throughout the whole audio spectrum.... I don't think you need to do anything special here.

The ultra would give you the option of adding a different sub in the future, too.
