Audio Pro Announces New C10 Wireless Speaker
Audio Pro has announced its upgraded and full-featured C10 MkII wireless multiroom speaker.
Audio Pro's C10 MkII expands its predecessor's features such as AirPlay, Bluetooth, aux and RCA inputs, and access to music streaming services via wi-fi by adding AirPlay 2 and Google Cast streaming smarts.
This means that you now have a three-way choice as to how you control your C10 MkII-based multi-room environment. If you're an Apple fan, then AirPlay 2 is most likely going to be your thing. Google Cast, meanwhile, will suit others, especially those with other compatible speakers dotted about the place. Of course, there's also Audio Pro's own app.
Additionally, the Swedish firm has tweaked the speaker's electronics and revised the bass port design for better flow to enhance the woofer, which is partnered with a pair of tweeters.
Jens Henriksen, the company's chief commercial officer, told StereoNET:
This new triple function comes after customer feedback requested flexibility and choice in how they can enjoy audio via Audio Pro multiroom systems. Being able to connect Audio Pro speakers with others that use Google Cast or AirPlay 2 provides endless capabilities.
You now get half a dozen user-defined preset buttons enabling quick access to any playlist and radio station you allocate. Finally, the new C10 also boasts a magnetic fabric mesh speaker grille.
The Audio Pro C10 MkII is available to pre-order for £360 in Arctic White, Storm Grey, or Coal Black finishes.
WHAT WE THINK
Audio Pro's C10 was a highly-regarded portable wireless speaker and the MkII looks to build on this. We can't fault its contemporary styling and, along with the newly added features, the C10 MkII is an attractive option, even with the slight price increase.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
