About this deal

The C5A is designed for a normal-sized living room or bedroom. Pumping out volume loud enough to fill that area without having to push volumes above 80%, where distortion will start to occur. You will need the Audio Pro Control App to have full functionality, linking your speakers, controlling where music is playing, and connecting them to a wireless streaming service. The functionality of multi-room is aided with a custom-made app, curated in-house by Audio Pro themselves: Audio Pro Multi-room; somewhat self-explanatorily. Turning the Addon range into a multi-room system may have been a no-brainer, but we’re thankful Audio Pro has done it so well.

Audio Pro Addon C5A Multiroom Smart Speaker with Built In

The C5A is up there with the best speakers when it comes to sound quality at this price. It is a very noticeable step up when coming from the smaller C3 version. Fuller bass and a more natural-sounding midrange were observed. The styling is reminiscent of old transistor radios but manages to blend modern and retro design aspects using high-quality materials. The cabinets are made from a high, relatively dense wood, which accounts for the weight, and they all have an aesthetically pleasing driver configuration on the front to bring cohesion to the speaker line that also includes a smaller battery-powered C3 and larger, more powerful C10.Overall it’s a great product with numerous features, good build quality, and lovely design. It works well and has good sound for its size. Moving up to a Drumfire would be the next step, but that is a significantly bigger and more expensive offering. Audio Pro is starting to flex its muscles now and is showing the audio world that it can compete with companies who dominated this space for so long. It’s an excellent speaker with a very clean and pure sound, even more than Sonos, which sounds a bit heavier when side by side. I think the tuning leans towards audio enthusiasts and even though I wouldn’t consider this an Audiophile-grade speaker it is extremely pleasing. Comparison with the Audio Pro C3 and C10 Speakers The first of these new releases to receive the What Hi-Fi? treatment is the Addon C5. In effect, it’s an Addon T5 with internet and multi-room capacity.

The C10 is by far the best sounding with the most powerful bass. It can handle very large rooms and sound great, whereas the C5A may fail to fill the space. The C3 is best used as a combination of semi-portable (due to it having a built-in battery or for smaller rooms like bathrooms and studies. A much more common problem with multi-room apps is how buggy they can be – especially new ones that have had perhaps less time to iron out any creases. This app lets you connect to almost any high-resolution streaming service like Tidal, Qobuzz, Deezer, and Spotify, as well as radio services like TuneIn and iHeart. Treble is present and done well via the two tweeters. They did a nice job of delivering a sparkle but not delving into the sibilant territory.Audio Pro C5-A, more lengthily titled ‘Audio Pro AddOn C5-A Wireless Voice-Controlled Speaker’, is a versatile take on the original Addon C5 model, with an increasingly wider universe of connectivity and convenience – combining modern ‘Alexa’ virtual assistant technology with an already-high spec domestic speaker for the trendy home user.
