Premium Multi‑Room Architecture
The Arylic H400 is built around four high-performance zone outputs, each capable of feeding standalone amplifiers and passive speakers. Enjoy fully independent source selection—stream different music into the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and office, all controlled from one device.
With the dedicated Wake-on-LAN feature, you can initiate audio streaming remotely with ease. Status indicators on the front panel show network connectivity, playback status, and zone activity at a glance. Power each zone on or off manually or via scheduled triggers, and integrate the H400 with external smart-home systems or IR remotes using trigger output signals.
Wireless and Ethernet Connectivity
Say goodbye to messy cables and hello to smart wireless listening. The H400 connects to your home network through built-in Wi‑Fi for seamless multi-room audio distribution, or opt for wired stability with its Gigabit Ethernet port—perfect for lossless high-resolution streaming.
Bluetooth 5.0 enables fast pairing with smartphones or tablets. You can stream directly to a single zone or broadcast to multiple zones simultaneously. Upgradeable firmware ensures compatibility with future streaming formats and wireless services, while the 4STREAM app empowers users with zone grouping, equalizer presets, alarm scheduling, and airplay control from any smartphone or tablet.
Music Inputs and Playback Options
The H400 supports a wide range of audio sources:
-
Networked music via UPnP/DLNA servers
-
Internet radio and music streaming from Spotify Connect
-
AirPlay streaming from Apple devices
-
Fast Bluetooth music streaming to one or more zones
-
Local playback from a connected USB drive
-
Phono input for turntables (MM preamp included)
Multiple zones can be assigned to the same music source or play entirely different content—with complete volume and EQ control per zone. This makes the H400 ideal for entertaining, hosting events, or just enjoying private listening sessions in separate spaces.
Premium Audio Outputs
Each of the four zones offers both XLR balanced outputs and RCA unbalanced outputs, providing flexibility for home audio, pro audio, or semi-pro installations. The balanced XLR connection ensures noise-free playback over long cables—perfect for commercial spaces or large installations. The unbalanced RCA outputs are ideal for integrating with bookshelf amps, powered speakers, or soundbars.
With universal volume control per zone including mute, bass/treble, and balance via front panel, remote, or app, the H400 gives audio power in a small, lightweight chassis.
High‑Resolution Playback and DAC Quality
Equipped with top-tier digital-to-analog converters, the H400 delivers pristine high-resolution playback up to 24-bit/96 kHz. The audio signal path ensures clarity, detail, and depth across all zones, enriching music, podcasts, or video soundtracks. Whether streaming vinyl through the phono input or Internet radio to the kitchen zone, expect dynamic consistency and refined performance.
Multi‑Room App Management
Through the “4STREAM” mobile app (iOS/Android), the H400 integrates with other Arylic products—consolidating control into one intuitive platform. Create audio scenes, group zones for unified playback, control volume, launch alarms, or initiate playlists—remotely or when hosting guests.
The app includes time-scheduling features to wake up to music or channel ambient sound at night. Firmware updates can be delivered over the air, ensuring your system stays current with new features and compatibility.
Built for Integration
Perfect for system builders and installers, the H400 can be rack-mounted with a universal 1RU chassis. Its intelligent layout includes labeled XLR and RCA zone outputs, network input, and a USB port for local playback or future hardware upgrades.
Featuring low-power standby modes, efficient power supply, and thermal control, the device remains cool and reliable even after hours of use. The IP-based zone triggers enable integration with audio-video control systems and trigger-based automation for advanced setups.
