WiiM Voice Remote

1. Introduction

WiiM aims to provide the simplest, most affordable, Hi-Fi, lossless audio systems. With patented audio streaming solutions and a mobile app, users can enjoy music throughout their home. Products are developed with fine design and intuitive user interfaces.

The WiiM Voice Remote is a companion accessory for WiiM Mini and Pro streamers. It enables voice search and control via Alexa, with additional Alexa built-in device functionality.
