FAQs

What is the main advantage of Wi-Fi over Bluetooth for this amplifier?

Wi-Fi offers a significantly longer range, limited only by your internet signal, and provides a more stable and secure connection compared to Bluetooth's shorter range and potential for interference.

Can I control multiple Loops amplifiers in different rooms?

Yes, the dedicated Loops app supports multi-room and multi-zone setups. You can control the volume and playback of each amplifier independently or group them together from a single device.

Does the amplifier come with a physical remote control?

No, this amplifier relies entirely on its dedicated smartphone/tablet app for control. This allows for discreet placement of the amplifier without needing line-of-sight.

What type of speakers can I connect to this amplifier?

The amplifier is designed to work with passive speakers. It can handle speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 Ohms.

How powerful is the amplifier?

It delivers a maximum of 80W peak output, split into 2x 40W channels at 4 OHM, utilizing Class-D digital amplification for efficient and impressive sound.

Which music streaming services are compatible?

The app is compatible with major services such as Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music, as well as digital radio stations.

What is required for the amplifier to function?

You will need passive speakers, a power source, and a stable Wi-Fi network. A smartphone or tablet with the Loops app installed is also required for control.

Troubleshooting

Amplifier not powering on

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the amplifier and a working power outlet. Check the power outlet with another device.

Cannot connect to Wi-Fi

Verify your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password are correct. Ensure the amplifier is within range of your router and connected to a 2.4GHz network. Restart your router and the amplifier.

App not finding the amplifier

Make sure your smartphone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the amplifier. Ensure the Loops app has network permissions enabled.

No audio output

Check that speakers are properly connected to the amplifier and that the volume is turned up. Verify the correct audio source is selected in the app and that the music service is playing.

Audio is intermittent or cutting out

This could be due to a weak Wi-Fi signal. Try moving the amplifier closer to the router or consider a Wi-Fi extender. Ensure no other devices are causing interference.
