AUDIO PRO
A 15
PRODUCT 02 :
The battery will lastup to 11 hours at 50 % volume, which doesn’t compare
favourably to someBluetooth speakers, but isn’t too bad for a multiroom oneou canalways rely on anAudio Pro speakerto
look the part. Scandinavian in style, their
devices are perfect for a modern home.e
AudioPro A 15 is proof of that; smart and
stylish, it’s covered ina sleek mesh fabric witha brushed
metal panel on the top.You canbuy it ineither darkgrey
or light grey, so it should fitin withmost decors.
A ridged plastic base props it up and there’s a handle on
the back to carry it around with,which is a good job
because it’squite a hefty device, weighing 3.4kg.It’s a
portable speaker but it’s not one you’llbe taking out and
about with you. If you do use it outside, it has IPX2 water
resistance so it’ll survive light splashesof rain, but we
wouldn’t advise letting it get too wet.
e Audio Pro A15 works with other multiroom
devices by Audio Pro,Googleand Apple. Setting up the
device with yourmultiroom system is very easy – you just
need to open the relevantApple Home app,add a new
device and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Made up of a 10W and 30Wamplifierwith a 1-inch
textile dome tweeter and a 4.5-inch woofer, the speaker
system is plenty powerful.
Likewe have come to expect from Audio Pro devices,
you get a powerful,clear and focused sound. e balance
between frequencies isspot on, the low end ispunchy
while the highs are crisp and the mids are able to push
through with enough force. ere’s plenty ofenergy
without drowning out anydetails. You canhear the depth
behindeach instrument and this speaker will quiteeasily
fill up the room. e only qualm we have is that because of
the design, you get a different experience when you stand
behindit, so it’ll be best placed up againsta wall.
e battery will last up to 11 hours of music at 50%
volume, or eight hours on full, which is a good amountfor
this sort of device even though ithardly compares to some
Bluetoothspeakers.
We don’t have muchbad to sayabout the Audio Pro
A15,the only downside is thefact that it’s a bit too bigto
carry around. Whileit may not be heavy on features,you
do get high-qualitysound everywhere you take it. And
you won’t need to faff around with yourphone, just turn it
on and start listening!If youalready use Audio Pro,Apple
or Google’s multiroom systems at home,this will be a
fantasticaddition to your set-up.
A portable multiroom speaker for
a modern home and garden
Y
e balance is spot on:
the low end is punchy
while the highs arecrisp
