You’re making me reconsider selling my 19” rack cabinet with glass doors and built in power strip. It’s an old ATT telco cabinet. I had planned on using it for music mixing recording equipment originally but home audio might be its next life! What is your background? Networking or ? People don’t usually do much cable management without some familiarity with racks or cabinets.

[@Trialnerror]

Believe it or not, I have zero background in anything technical. I've been in multi-unit retail leadership for decades now. I wish my passion lined up with my ability to earn a living but it hasn't worked out that way. Keep the rack and build yourself a sweet system around it. It's worked out well for me and continues to do so!

[@MFAddas]

I would really appreciate it if you can make a detailed video on who to use and connect the trigger relays

[@Aaronproductions]

Nice setup with turning the amps on and off. My one suggestion is that it would probably be much safer to have the Solid State Relays trigger a multi-stage power conditioner, such as a furman PS-8R. Keeps all the high voltage contained in a metal, fire proof case, and staggers start up to avoid a surge with all the amps turning on at once. I personally use those same SSRs on my setup at home to trigger my power conditoners on. I don't think I could trust those cheap SSRs with line voltage.

[@roocrew86]

holy shit that setup is unreal very impressive!!

[@blakerust6777]

Do Wiim products play in sync with each other like Sonos or Yamaha MusicCast products? Meaning if you have 2 streamers feeding nearby zones, can they play the same source in perfect lock step? Amazing setup. You are one sharp dude.

[@Trialnerror]

Yes, you can have them all linked or playing separate. Thanks for the kind words!

[@johnt7776]

Amazing setup and excellent video !

[@aRndBelgianGuy]

Nice ! Do you have local volume control on you "house zones" since they are all fed at the same time ?

[@Trialnerror]

Yes, they volume setup is perfect. You can adjust each zone individually or adjust the group together.

[@aRndBelgianGuy]

@@Trialnerror I'm not sure you got what I meant : how do you deal with the volumes between the rooms in your house since they are behind a single WiiM streamer ?

[@sho92]

I've been following your channel since I first saw your video on adding relays to the garage door openers. Really enjoy the varied content. If you could do an explanation/walk through on your outdoor speaker setup, that'd be great. I'm in the process of designing my system now, and I like the idea of piecing it all together the way you've done, instead of going with a bunch of BT speakers on $onos.

[@Trialnerror]

Wow, you're an OG! First off, thank you so much for sticking with me. I can do that, and will do that for you based on how long you've hung in there with my stupid channel :). Thanks again, comments like yours mean the world to me. BTW, does your username relate to the Taurus SHO back in the best days of Yamaha power by chance?

[@sho92]

@@Trialnerror Sure does! It was my first car in 1997 (92 5 speed) and I had 2 more after that one. Always the Yamaha V6 with a stick. My last one was highly modified for track days, but kids and life eventually put an end to it in 2018. They were a great engine in search of a better chassis, but that Taurus still surprised a lot of cars out on track. I'll look forward to the audio system video!

[@aray072989]

Awesome setup

[@Trialnerror]

Thank you sir!

[@oisforoffroad]

You have an awesome setup. Your built in rack space is great, I'm jealous.

[@mentalatrophygaming]

Does the WiiM stuff require a cloud connection or an account on their cloud stuff to work?

[@Trialnerror]

No, it uses a direct connection over your network.

[@kurtk8076]

Can you run two separate audio inputs for the different sections/areas? For example, if you were out at the pool and someone else was in the house, can both users stream different audio from their device? I assume so since they are separate WiiM devices.

[@Trialnerror]

Yes you can, you can run any input or any streaming source at the same time or sync them all together as needed.

[@KWESKOJ]

You just got a new subscriber 😂

[@WalkersLawn]

Awesome!

[@gcuesta]

Tengo el Wiim amp. Excelente reseña, Buen video, saludos desde Ecuador
