Wireless Streaming Speaker: The Yamaha WX-010 wireless streaming speaker is part of Yamaha's MusicCast multiroom audio eco-system.

• Two-Way Driver Design: With a two-way speaker design (1" tweeter + 3.5" woofer), plus two side-firing passive radiators, this speaker will surprise you by how well it fills a room with robust, dynamic sound, despite its compact size.
• Built-in Amp: The WX-010 speaker's built-in amplifier is rated at 25 watts (15W to the woofer + 10W to the tweeter) and provides clean, distortion free sound at all volume levels.

MusicCast from Yamaha: MusicCast from Yamaha, brings music to every room in your home wirelessly with control provided by a free app on your Apple iOS or Android device.

Yamaha AV receivers and soundbars which feature MusicCast even offer multiroom streaming of connected external sources; such as TVs, cable/satellite boxes, Blu-ray/DVD Disc players, CD/SACD players, and USB thumbdrives. MusicCast can even select terrestrial AM/FM radio stations for playback throughout the home when linked to a tuner-enabled MusicCast device (like an AV receiver). MusicCast is enabled on many 2015-up Yamaha components like their AV receivers, wireless speakers, soundbars, and other HiFi components.

Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The Yamaha MusicCast WX-010 supports both WiFi (802.11 b/g/n; 2.4GHz) and wired Ethernet (RJ-45) connections, so you can choose to build a wireless or wired network, or a combination of both if desired. Network setup is completed through the free MusicCast app on your compatible Apple iOS or Android device.

Just pair your Echo, Echo Dot or Echo Show with any MusicCast wireless speaker, sound bar or AV receiver and the sound will play from the MusicCast device. Using the MusicCast app, you can then select the Bluetooth input and link multiple MusicCast devices for playback, allowing you to hear it throughout your home.
