AU SHOW: Audacity Stakes Its Claim on Connected Hi-Fi with WiiM Showcase

That’s the bet Audacity Australia is placing as it brings the full weight of WiiM’s connected ecosystem to bear, supported by newly acquired distribution rights for Jamo and Ikarao.

Positioned as a working demonstration of a smart, scalable audio lifestyle, the Audacity room will feature multiple zones—stereo, desktop, and multichannel—all powered and coordinated via WiiM’s increasingly ambitious streaming platform.

Audacity Australia Partner Manager, Andrew McGregor, told StereoNET:

We’re excited to bring together a collective of brands whose connected technology seamlessly integrates and demonstrates what’s possible in the home. Whether building a system from the ground up or adding to your existing home entertainment.

McGregor added:

The latest WiiM gear really lifts what's possible for power and fidelity in a connected system. A standout for me is the Amp Ultra—100 watts per channel into 8 ohms—paired with the new Jamo floorstanders. It makes high-quality audio more accessible and user-friendly.

It’s a clear signal from Audacity that it sees potential beyond just boxes and badges. This is about accessibility, convenience, and brand cohesion—showing how WiiM’s software-first ecosystem can drive everything from desktop listening to 5.1 surround sound, without compromising design or flexibility.

At the core of the setup is the new WiiM AMP Ultra, a compact Class D amp that’s as much about software smarts as it is about sonic punch. It’ll be powering a pair of Jamo’s C605 MK II floorstanders—part of a broader push from the Danish loudspeaker brand to modernise its offering while retaining real-world value. For those paying close attention, Audacity has just been appointed as Jamo’s official distributor for Australia—and this is the first public outing under that new banner.

Reflecting on the new partnership, McGregor told us:

Jamo is a fantastic brand to bring to our customers. With a rich history, great sound, and timeless Scandinavian design, they share our vision of making Hi-Fi approachable for a new generation of music lovers.

WiiM’s new Dolby 5.1 surround sound configuration will also be on demo, showing how a handful of WiiM streamers, a WiiM Sub Pro, and the platform’s multi-device coordination can deliver accurate immersive audio. No AVR required. It’s the sort of solution that feels tailor-made for living rooms that double as home theatres.

Other setups will include WiiM’s VibeLink and Ultra pairing, this time driving Jamo’s D590 floorstanders, and a more compact desktop system featuring Jamo’s C707 PA active bookshelf speakers in two configurations—one running on a WiiM Pro Plus, the other demonstrating the C707 PA’s versatile connectivity. In this setup, a Lenco L-455BK turntable is connected directly via the C707 PA’s built-in RIAA phono stage. At the same time, HDMI ARC handles audio from the in-room TV—offering a clean, display-friendly Hi-Fi solution without extra boxes.

Jamo’s Cube wired subwoofer adds a touch of minimalist design to the mix, proving that the low-end extension doesn’t have to look like a cube of MDF shoved under your sofa.

All of this is tied together using the WiiM Home TV app, now available on Android TV and demoed on a Sony screen. This app brings the entire audio system into the lounge room UI experience without needing a dedicated control tablet or phone. It's not just audio integration; it's lifestyle integration.

But Audacity’s ambitions don’t stop at WiiM and Jamo. As mentioned, the company has also secured Australian distribution for Ikarao, and will be showing off the Ikarao Break X1—a portable 800W wireless audio and karaoke machine packing a 6.5” woofer, 107dB SPL, and a 13.3” HD touchscreen. It’s unapologetically built for fun, yet engineered with purpose—and it adds another string to Audacity’s growing multi-category bow.

The message here is clear: Audacity isn’t just showing off brands—it’s staking a claim on the future of affordable, connected AV. For dealers, integrators, and everyday music lovers, it’s an approach that invites new audiences into the Hi-Fi conversation without dumbing things down.

You’ll find them in Room 1203, but odds are, once you walk in, you won’t need convincing.

The StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Show takes place August 29-31 at the Pullman Melbourne Albert Park. Full show details and tickets are available via the link below.
