Pro-Ject Wireless Box E Plug-in Streaming Amplifier

The Pro-Ject Wireless Box E Plug-in Streaming Amplifier is a clever solution for customers who want wireless convenience without giving up passive speakers.

The idea is simple. Attach a compact amplifier directly to each speaker. Then stream to the speakers over Wi-Fi. As a result, you avoid long speaker cable runs across the room.

This makes a lot of sense for modern NZ homes. For example, it can help in living rooms, offices, apartments, and multi-room spaces where running cable is difficult. It is especially neat with compatible Pro-Ject speakers because the Wireless Box E can plug straight into the speaker terminals.

We also like the WiiM OS platform. It gives the system a familiar and flexible streaming base. Plus, it supports multi-room playback and modern app control. Therefore, this is more than just a wireless adapter.

Each unit is a mono streaming amplifier, so you use one Wireless Box E per speaker. It delivers 1 x 25W into 8 ohms or 1 x 50W into 4 ohms, with streaming powered by WiiM OS. It also supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, multi-room playback, and control through the Pro-Ject Home app.

It is important to note that this is sold and used as a per-speaker solution. For stereo playback, you need two Wireless Box E units. Also, for non-Pro-Ject speakers, the optional Connect it LS Flex extension cable may be required.

For customers wanting a clean, space-saving streaming speaker setup, this is a very smart Pro-Ject solution.
