Ubiquiti UniFi PoE Audio Port UPL-Port-W - White Network Audio Streamer
RCA and optical I/O; HDMI eARC inputWi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz or 10/100 Ethernet12 V adapter included; compatible PoE option109 x 109 x 40.5 mm; 250 g
The Ubiquiti UniFi PoE Audio Port UPL-Port-W is a single white network audio streamer for connecting suitable existing audio equipment. Use its RCA or optical outputs with a compatible amplifier, receiver or powered speakers; the HDMI eARC connection is an audio input, not a video output. A 12 V DC adapter is included, while compatible PoE is an alternative power method.
Best For: For listeners who want to connect compatible existing audio equipment to network streaming services, using RCA, optical or HDMI eARC audio input and RCA or optical output. It suits setups with a compatible amplifier, receiver or powered speakers, rather than bare passive speakers.
Before you order: This is a streamer/interface, not a power amplifier: bare passive loudspeakers need a suitable amplifier, and no speaker output power is specified. The HDMI eARC port is an audio input; there is no video output. USB-C is one shared audio I/O port, not a stated power input. The included 12 V adapter can power the unit; a PoE injector or switch is separate if you choose PoE. Source equipment, amplifier/receiver or powered speakers, and suitable interconnects are separate; HDMI cable and table stand are optional add-ons. Streaming services may require compatible apps/devices, network access and separate accounts or subscriptions. Multi-zone support is up to 32 PowerAmps and PoE Audio Ports across a system, not included units or built-in outputs.
What's in the Box
- One white Ubiquiti UPL-Port-W audio streamer
- 12 V DC adapter (EU version with EU power plug only)
What It Means in Practice
- Connect a compatible audio source to RCA, optical or HDMI eARC input; HDMI eARC is for audio return from compatible equipment, such as an eARC TV.
- Route RCA or optical output to a compatible amplifier, receiver or powered speakers. The product does not provide a verified power-amplifier output for bare passive speakers.
- Choose Wi-Fi or the single 10/100 MbE RJ45 port. For PoE power, provide a compatible PoE source; alternatively, use the included 12 V adapter.
- Use UniFi Play on iOS or Android, version 2.0.0 or later, for setup and source selection. Online streaming services require network access and may require separate accounts or subscriptions.
What Will Not Work
- No verified power-amplifier speaker output for bare passive loudspeakers; a suitable amplifier is required.
- HDMI eARC is an audio input, not a video output or general HDMI switch.
- USB-C is one shared audio I/O port; USB-C power input is not specified, and arbitrary USB-device compatibility is not established.
- No verified Dolby Atmos, DTS, multichannel surround decoding, sample rate, bit depth, DAC SNR or lossless/high-resolution certification.
- No promised simultaneous independent output streams or arbitrary distribution of sources to every zone.
- PoE injector or switch is not included; the included adapter is the alternative power method.
- Speakers, amplifier/receiver, source devices and suitable interconnects are separate; HDMI cable and table stand are optional add-ons.
- No IP weatherproofing, outdoor-use or rackmount-kit guarantee is established.
