Introduction

AirPlay Casting revolutionizes the way you stream audio by transforming your WiiM Pro into a powerful Wi-Fi audio transmitter. This feature allows you to seamlessly cast audio to a wide array of AirPlay-enabled devices, including speakers, soundbars, and AV receivers such as HomePod and other AirPlay-compatible devices.


Unlike traditional use, where your WiiM Pro acts as an AirPlay receiver, with AirPlay Casting, your WiiM device takes on the role of a transmitter, similar to your iPhone, Mac PC, or Apple TV.


This capability proves especially beneficial when you wish to transmit audio from sources like a record player, a non-Apple TV, or a PC to your existing AirPlay device via a Wi-Fi network. With AirPlay Casting, you can enjoy the flexibility and convenience of wireless audio streaming, enhancing your overall audio experience.
