The speaker is rated to pump out up to 100W of power and can be used in three ways including on its own, as part of a [stereo pair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-nx70a-wireless-stereo-speaker) or as part of a multi-speaker setup. The speaker is rated to support [Hi-Res Audio streaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-speaker-system), while also offering Dolby 5.1 support. The speaker is also paired with WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 with LE audio connectivity.
