Overview

The IEAST AMP-i50B v2 is a wall-mount wireless multi-room stereo amplifier designed for audio enthusiasts seeking a high-quality audio streaming solution. This amplifier integrates seamlessly with a pair of ceiling speakers, making it an ideal choice for background music systems throughout an entire house.
