The WiiM Ultra is the ideal music streamer for those who want to combine high-quality sound with modern connectivity options.
Thanks to the built-in HDMI ARC connection, this compact all-rounder is ideal for connecting directly to Bang & Olufsen BeoLab speakers, without the need for a BeoSound Core or other converter.
🔌 Why HDMI ARC is important for BeoLab users
Many BeoLab speakers, such as the BeoLab 18, 28 or 50, support digital audio inputs such as TOSLINK (optical) or line-in, but often lack direct streaming options. The WiiM Ultra bridges this gap:
HDMI ARC ensures direct audio transmission from your television to the WiiM Ultra.
You can effortlessly connect the WiiM Ultra to BeoLab speakers via the optical or analogue output of the WiiM.
You retain the characteristic sound quality of Bang & Olufsen, now with smart streaming.
