Lithe Audio PRO PoE Bolt-On

About The Lithe Audio PRO PoE Bolt-On

The Lithe Audio PRO PoE Bolt-On enables the PRO series all-in-one ceiling speaker to be powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet). Using the latest in PoE++ technology this setup is perfect for any domestic or commercial audio situation. For Lithe Audio Pro-Series only when powered directly from network cabling infrastructure, the Pro Series uses the latest standard (IEEE 802.3bt) to deliver up to 60W of power to each speaker.

The benefit of using the Wi-Fi Pro PoE bolt-on is that it allows you to connect directly to your system using a CAT6 cable. A low voltage CAT6 cable can deliver power to your speaker safely and efficiently. There is enough power being produced by the PoE++ that you don’t need mains power to the speaker, the PoE++ is perfectly tuned for powering the Lithe Audio Pro Series ceiling speakers.

This kind of instal makes it easier to power it, sync it, play it. For example, in a new build that has CAT6 cable run throughout the property, it will come back to the main source point. Meaning when you instal the speaker you can simply plug in the PoE bolt-on to the speaker then plug in the CAT6 cable and it’s done, it’s that easy!

How it Works

• To use PoE Bolt on device with the Wi-Fi PRO speaker you shall need an PoE injector to deliver minimum of 60W power via lEEE 802.3af/at/bt standard.
• To power the Wi-Fi PRO speaker via PoE power, you must remove the DC connector which is powered by the mains from the speaker.
• Connect the PoE injector via ethernet cable into the RJ45 port on the PoE bolt on.
• Connect the DC cable connector from the PoE bolt on into the speaker.
• Line up the PoE bolt on with the rear of the PRO speaker and clip in place.
• If required clip the cable into the cable guides to ensure no snags occur for a tidy install
• You are all set. Turn the injector on and wait for a few seconds for the power to boot up.

Our Review

The Lithe Audio PRO PoE Bolt-On is a seriously handy upgrade for anyone looking to streamline their speaker setup, whether it’s in a smart home or a commercial space. By using PoE++ (that’s Power over Ethernet, for the uninitiated), it delivers enough juice - up to 60W - to power your PRO Series ceiling speakers through a single CAT6 cable, no mains wiring needed. It’s a clean, fuss-free solution that works brilliantly in new builds where CAT6 cabling is already in place. Just clip the bolt-on to the speaker, plug in the cable, and you’re up and running. It’s power, connection, and audio - all simplified into one slick little unit.
