Introduction

Up2Stream AMP v4 is a WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0 stereo/mono amplifier board that can be applied into your existing regular audio system to make it wireless enabled, it is also a all-in-one solution for DIYers to make their customized wireless audio system. Up2Sream AMP v4 can switch between stereo and mono mode, stereo can provide max. 50W L&R channels, and mono mode will mixed L&R channel and provide a single max. 100W channel. Once connected to your home network, using our 4Stream app, you can play music from your mobile, NAS, USB pen drive or from online streaming services like Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, Qobuz and more. With multiple devices, the wireless multiroom audio system can play the same music to each room in sync or play different music to different rooms.

4. PH2.0-4P: R_IN, GND, GND, L_IN: Analog input to Up2Stream AMP v4 board, it has the same signal as the 3.5mm Line IN jack.

6. Micro USB: For connection with PC to support USB soundcard, and the ACPWorkbench tool.
11. PH2.0-2P: GND, SPDIF: This is for external SPDIF output/input.
12. PH2.0-4P: GPIO2, GPIO1, GND, VCC3V3: GPIO2 and GPIO1 is used to connect a coding key, should be used for volume control.
13. PH2.0-7P: SPDIF, MCLK, IIS_DATA, BCLK, LRCK, GND, VCC_3V3: This is for digital output extension:
SPDIF is for external SPDIF output/input (same as #11)
For IIS, BCLK is 2.8MHz, LRCK is 44.1KHz, MCLK is 11.288MHz, DOUT following the standard IIS data format and have 16 bits depth. The system is running in master mode, you should make sure the IIS port of connected device is running in slave mode.
18. PH2.0-13P: IIC_SDA, IIC_SCL, IR, ADC_KEY, LED_RED, LED_BLUE, LED_WHITE, LED_GREEN, RESET, TX, RX, GND, VCC3V3
IIC_SDA, IIC_SCL: This is reserved for display panel.
IR is used for extend IR receiver.
ADC_KEY is used for external buttons, please refer to the circuit on the right for key definitions.
The LED pins are used to extend the LED and are common-anode connected. You should connect 3.3V to a current limit resister and then to LED then to the pin.
RESET is used to extend the WiFi reset button (Power Button).
TX/RX are UART interface to send events and receive controls.
19. PH2.0-5P: XOUT, DGND, LOUT, AGND, ROUT: Analog output, use XOUT when in Mono mode and ROUT, LOUT when in Stereo mode, these has the same signal as the speaker out.
21. PH2.0-2P: 5V+, GND: 5V power output for other device.
23. PH2.0-2P: V+, GND: 12-24V power input (same as the DC IN port)

*Attention for Android users Different brand mobile phones may ask you to allow to use SoundSystem WiFi network, please choose yes, if not, you may not able to set up successfully. It may also ask you to authorize other things, please choose yes or it may affect your use.

Connection via LAN

Plug in the wired cable to the RJ45 Ethernet, the device will show on the app in about 10 seconds. (Note: the cell phone and the device must be in the same network)

Bluetooth

To use bluetooth, please switch to bluetooth via app or by remote controller, then find the bluetooth device SoundSystem_XXXX from your phone bluetooth setting and pair it.

USB Audio

Power up and connect the Up2Stream AMP to your PC with USB cable (Make sure it's a data cable including the signal wires). The PC will automatically discover a USB sound card, and when you activated it as the system main output, the PC will send the audio output over Up2Stream AMP in digital (44.1KHz/16bits). You can stream to other Up2Stream devices over multiroom connection. NOTE: there's about 3 seconds delay for multiroom slave devices.

Up2Stream ACPWorkbench (Sell Separately)

Connect the Up2Stream device to your PC with USB cable (make sure it's a data cable including the signal wires). And open the program ACPWorkbench (only support Windows.), and you can tune audio effects conveniently, including Music Noise Suppressor, Virtual Bass, Stereo Widener, Exciter, 10 bands EQ, Configure output channel and PIN configs. After editing the audio effects, you can save the changes to the device so the tuned effects will remain. You can get more information from our website www.arylic.com, or from the Up2 Stream DSP Tool manual.

Firmware Update

The application will notify you in app when there is a new firmware version available. It is recommended to update firmware whenever available as this might not only correct bugs or improve security, but also can add new features or services.
