The AmpVortex-16100 offers higher power output per channel, making it suitable for larger spaces or setups requiring more amplification. However, it has fewer channels compared to the AmpVortex-16060.
2.Does 16100 series will also have -A and -G version in future?
The 16100 series will also expand to include the -A and -G versions, designed to bring advanced surround sound and full Google Cast support.

The 16200 series is currently in development and will deliver higher power output, enhanced surround decoding, and broader streaming compatibility, setting a new benchmark for multi-room and immersive audio applications. The 16200 series will also expand to include the -A and -G versions, designed to bring advanced surround sound and full Google Cast support.
4.How many zones can the AmpVortex-16100 drive?
Each AmpVortex-16100 supports up to 8 zones per device. Many competing models only offer 1, 3, or 6 zones, but with AmpVortex, you can easily expand your system. Simply add more units—either the same model or different AmpVortex models—to power 8, 16, 24, 32 zones, or even more for larger installations.
5.How many phones can connect to the AmpVortex-16100?
Each AmpVortex-16100 supports up to 8 phones per device — that’s 8x AirPlay 2, 8x Spotify Connect, or 8x DLNA streams simultaneously.
It’s the only multi-room streaming amplifier that supports 8x AirPlay 2 and 8x Spotify Connect simultaneously. Most other brands can handle only up to 4x AirPlay and 4x Spotify Connect at best. If you add more units, you can easily connect 16, 24, 32 phones, or even more. Most competing brands only allow 1, 2, or 4 phones per device — AmpVortex gives you true multi-user flexibility.
6.Can I connect subwoofers to the AmpVortex-16100 for certain zones?
It’s the only multi-zone streaming amplifier that supports subwoofers — even up to four, for four different zones. Two subwoofers can be connected via the Line Out interface, and two more through SPDIF outputs. This flexibility lets you easily build powerful 2.1-channel music rooms in multiple zones.
7.How can I connect the AmpVortex-16100 to my TV?
Many other brands rely on RCA-to-USB converters or simple RCA analog inputs, which can introduce noise, signal distortion, and delay, sometimes even causing lip-sync issues. With the AmpVortex-16100, you can use HDMI ARC or SPDIF IN for a fully digital connection — no signal loss, no delay, and perfectly synchronized audio.
8.Can we use the AmpVortex-16100 with Home Assistant?
Absolutely. You can integrate it into your smart home in several ways: Mobile App, Web API, KNX, or voice assistants. We provide a Web API that allows you to freely connect and control your AmpVortex-16100 through your Home Assistant system. You can also contact us to obtain free home assistant plugin.

110W per channel at 8ohms might not sound like much, but it fills my 200-square-foot living room with rich, clear sound. I can turn it up loud without distortion—something my old amp couldn’t do. With 8 zones, I can play rock in the garage, classical in the bedroom, and pop in the living room all at once.
Lucas Garcia –
The supporters are so silent that I didn’t even hear them on,no intrusive noise was damaging the music. The ports on the rear are well-made, and the metal case feels sturdy, therefore cables stay connected firmly. On my AV rack, it seems slick rather than hefty.
Emma Brooks –
Even after six hours of use, the cooling system keeps cool,the fans are quiet, without any audible humming. Looks and works like a premium.
Jan Greem –
I think it’s great, and I think I’ll be a repeat customer.
Elijah Davis –
Handling multi-room play is simple with the AmpVortex app. In two clicks, I may rename zones to “Bedroom” or “Kitchen”,selecting sources to assign zones is easy—simply tap the source and pick the zones. Even when I am modifying volume for three zones simultaneously, the app never lags. Connecting through Apple WAC was also simple, my phone found the amp in seconds and setup took a minute. For rapid silencing, the physical mute button is useful; the status LED indicates whether it’s connected to Wi-Fi. Very simple daily application!
Noah Bennett –
On weekends, I have logged 7 hours with it; no overheating; no sound cuts. The sound is constant, without any static. It fits my family perfectly!
Ava Collins –
I utilize it daily listening in the living room, multi-room music parties, and even occasionally for my little home office. Three buddies already have my suggestions, and they all appreciate it. Should I require a new amplifier, I would absolutely improve it again.
Liam Anderson –
The sound of the AmpVortex-16100 is outstanding. Tight and punchy, bass is not booming; highs are sharp but never harsh. The stereo effect transforms live recordings into my venue presence.
Oliver Carter –
Pictures for every installation step are included in the official manual, which also has video guides available on their website. Moreover, it has a 2-year warranty, which eases my worry. Wonderful post-sales experience!

Although I am not tech-oriented, it was simple to set up the AmpVortex-16060. I wasn’t confused because the official quick start guide has easy steps with illustrations.Just enter password, and the app guides you through Wi-Fi setup.It connects.I emailed customer support when I had a query on EQ settings,they sent me step-by-step instructions with examples.

In a second, I may go from AirPlay2 to Bluetooth; adjusting the volume for each zone is no waiting. For parties, establishing a “Party Mode” wherein every zone plays the same music takes two taps. If the Wi-Fi goes out, the physical Go Online button comes in handy. It also supports optical in, so I attached my CD player and the sound is amazing. Straightforward to use even when I am too preoccupied to host.

The cooling system is quite good!It’s only a little warm after 7 hours of use and the fans make no noise. This expertly created item will endure years!
Mia Johnson –
It exactly supports AirPlay 2 and DLNA, therefore I seamlessly switch between watching from my computer and iPhone. This one stays cool and consistent, unlike my previous amplifier, which would overheat after six hours. Even the bedroom upstairs benefits from the 100W per channel power’s keeping sound in check in every room. It now forms a regular part of my life.
Harper Miller –
With ten bands to adjust, the app’s EQ interface is straightforward.Thus, I am not overcome. For quick fixes, it also has presets such “Bass Booster.” Using the Line Out port, connecting my subwoofer was likewise simple. The whole system seems customized to my tastes, significantly superior to any rudimentary amplifier only with set sound characteristics.
Nelson –
I’ve recommended the AmpVortex-16100 to all my friends because it’s such a great value. For the price, you get 8 zones, 110W per channel, compatibility with all major streaming protocols, and custom EQ. It’s easy to set up.

Love this product. Two weeks in and it’s been working great.

Compared to a budget amp I tried before, this one has way better dynamic range—you can hear every little detail in the music. It supports USB disk playback too, so I can play my old MP3 collection without digging
Theodore Smith –
The ports on the back are well-spaced, so I don’t have to struggle to plug in HDMI ARC and optical cables at the same time. It looks way more expensive than it is,my guests always ask if it’s a high-end brand!haha!
Walker –
I already suggested it to my friend who was searching for a dependable amp for his new home. Last month he purchased it and reported he likes the good sound and simplicity it is to use. Should I ever require a new amp, I would undoubtedly purchase it once more.
Grace Taylor –
Speakers in our 5 rooms are covered by this amp along with 3 more zones for future use. Every room receives distinct audio even the cellar, which is a distance from the amplifier. In the living room jazz and a podcast in the home office, I can concurrently play lullabies in my children’s room.
David Wright –
With 110W per channel, it more than fills my spacious living area with vibrant sound. It also appeals to me that it enables HDMI ARC; I linked it to my TV, and now my movie sound is significantly better than the built in speakers.
