Wi-Fi speakers and streaming are designed to make audio listening much easier and more convenient. But what exactly do you need to transfer music wirelessly to Wi-Fi speakers? What about the amplifier? Do you need to have a home network? Which music and streaming sources are available for Wi-Fi speakers? Can older speakers be integrated into your new streaming system? We have the answers.
A powerful home network – the infrastructure for Wi-Fi speakers
The basic requirement for Wi-Fi speakers is that a Wi-Fi network is available. As a rule, a conventional Wi-Fi router is sufficient for this. It is important that the signal strength at the location of the speakers is good. If this is not the case, the audio stream might cut out. With streaming systems that are spread out over several floors and across many players, you should also keep an eye on the available bandwidth and the supported Wi-Fi standard.
Because lossless data formats such as FLAC or simultaneous multi-room streaming are dependent on high transmission rates due to the larger data volume. In such cases, both the wireless speakers and the router should support one of the newer wireless standards: 802.11 n or ac.
Most Wi-Fi speakers do not require an external amplifier or A/V receiver. They are usually designed as active loudspeakers. This means that the amplifier and the D/A converter are integrated in the speaker.
Wi-Fi speaker controls and music sources
If you have Wi-Fi speakers and a wireless home network, you can already begin setup and configuration of the streaming system. You can easily install our Teufel Streaming systems with the setup wizard, which is provided as a step-by-step guide via the Teufel Raumfeld app.
Teufel Streaming automatically detects music that has been shared on the network or stored on a USB stick connected to Teufel Streaming. In addition, the music stored directly on your smart device with the “Music sharing” option on the app can also be played via Teufel Streaming. Of course, you can also access play music from popular streaming services such as Spotify, Napster, SoundCloud or TIDAL with Teufel Streaming devices.
Play music from CD or vinyl on Teufel Streaming
As a special feature, you can also connect your streaming device to an existing player such as a CD- or record player.
