1 Applications

The stereo amplifier AKB-40WIFI is designed
to reproduce music in hi-fi quality via a wire-
less local network (WLAN) . It can be integrated
into an existing network or it can be used in
combination with a player to create a wireless
network of its own . As a player, a smartphone,
tablet computer or PC with a DNLA compatible
software (DNLA audio player) is required . The
streaming protocol "AirPlay" from Apple is also
supported .
Some DLNA audio players provide a multi-
room option: an AKB-40WIFI is installed in differ-
ent rooms; using a DLNA player, different pieces
of music can be transmitted to the individual
amplifiers or multiple AKB-40WIFI can be linked
and controlled together .
The AKB-40WIFI provides a USB port to
replay audio files stored on a USB flash drive .
For operation, the buttons on the amplifier or
the player software can be used .
In addition, an analog stereo input is availa-
ble to connect an audio source with line output
level (e . g . CD player) .
DNLA: The Digital Living Network Alliance is an inter-
national organization of computer, mobile phone and
consumer product manufacturers that have agreed on a
common standard for digital data transmission and that
work constantly on further development of this standard .
