- Audio Pro launches 10 new speakers with WiiM integration
- Redesigned app, better streaming support, multi-room, tweaked sound
- From £220 / €250, US pricing to follow
Audio Pro has launched a new generation of speakers, and there’s a lot of options. The W-generation range comes with an important app update that brings WiiM to the range, delivering expanded streaming support, advanced EQ and room correction, and enhanced multi-room and grouping capabilities.
With speakers covering every conceivable option from small cylinders and stand-alone speakers to massively powerful floorstanders, there’s something for everyone – and for every room. That makes the W-Generation a serious rival to Sonos as the best multi-room speakers, and Audio Pro is promising improved sound over previous models, too.
Audio Pro W-Generation speakers: key models and pricing
Although the speakers here will look familiar if you know Audio Pro’s range – they’ve been harmonized, but retain their basic design – they sound different. That’s because each model has been optimized for “greater clarity, lower distortion and a huge increase in loudness.”
For example, the flagship A48 W delivers a +10-15dB increase in maximum sound pressure and promises improved balanced mode radiator tweeter clarity. And the compact A15 W promises deeper, more compelling bass as well as longer battery life.
Streaming support now includes Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Napter, TuneIn and more, and there’s enhanced Wi-Fi timing synchronization for more harmonious home audio.
All of the W-Generation models are backward compatible with Audio Pro’s existing products, so your existing speakers aren’t obsolete in a multi-room setup.
