Bringing UniFi to your sound system: The Ubiquiti UPL-amp

UniFi has changed how we think about networks, and now it’s bringing the same simplicity and control to audio. The Ubiquiti UPL-amp is a purpose, built amplifier for distributed sound systems, ideal for homes, offices, and commercial spaces where quality and ease of use matter.

At MiRO, we have worked with countless integrators and installers who need an audio solution that is easy to deploy, powerful enough for demanding spaces, and simple for end-users to manage. The UPL-amp delivers on all fronts.

A purpose-built UniFi audio amplifier

The UPL-amp is a networked stereo amplifier delivering up to 260 watts of clean, Class D power. It supports modern streaming protocols such as AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect, making it ideal for distributed audio where quality and flexibility matter.

It’s worth noting: this is a dedicated audio amplifier, managed through the UniFi Play app. It is not related to Ubiquiti’s RF product lines like airMAX or airFiber.
