Arylic H50 Wireless Streaming Amplifier

The Arylic H50 is the heart of a modern smart-home audio installation — a compact wireless streaming amplifier that turns any pair of passive speakers into a fully connected music zone. Stream directly from your phone over AirPlay 2, ask Alexa to play music, or send TV sound through HDMI ARC. It is our recommended amplifier for driving Paradigm in-ceiling speakers in kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms and multi-room systems.

Under the brushed-aluminium case sits serious streaming hardware: an ESS Sabre ES9023P DAC, a Qualcomm QCC3040 Bluetooth 5.2 chip with aptX HD, and dual-band WiFi. AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Alexa are built in, and the 4STREAM app adds Amazon Music, Qobuz, internet radio and a 10-band EQ. A 2.23″ OLED display shows what’s playing at a glance, and the H50 can even transmit audio out to two pairs of Bluetooth headphones for late-night listening.

Power is genuinely useful for installations: 2 × 50 W into 4 Ω (or 2 × 30 W into 8 Ω, with a Boost mode delivering 2 × 50 W) from the standard 24 V supply. An optional 32 V power supply (available separately from Arylic) unlocks up to 2 × 80 W into 4 Ω where larger rooms or more speakers demand extra headroom. A rear load switch matches the amp to 4 Ω or 8 Ω speakers, and a dedicated subwoofer output makes a 2.1 setup a one-cable job.

Pairing with our ceiling speakers

One H50 drives a stereo pair of Paradigm CI Contractor C65-R speakers with ease (8 Ω, 15–80 W recommended). For larger rooms, wire two 8 Ω speakers in parallel per channel (a 4 Ω load) and one H50 will drive four ceiling speakers. Add one H50 per zone and group them in the app or AirPlay 2 for whole-home audio.
