Audio Pro Introduces G10 Smart Speaker
Award-winning audio brand, Audio Pro, has responded to demand for a loudspeaker with both AirPlay 2 and Google Cast compatibility.
The G10 is the latest offering from the Swedish brand, but not its first smart speaker. This time Audio Pro has opted for Google Assistant over Amazon Alexa which it implemented in other previous models.
The G10 joins other Audio Pro models to form a multi-room wireless audio system, and its compact size allows for easy placement. It can also be conveniently mounted on a wall or a contemporary ceiling rail, which Audio Pro says is a unique and increasingly popular feature in today's consumer marketplace.
Jens Henriksen, CCO at Audio Pro, told StereoNET:
Of course, the voice-controlled function facilitates such assembly, but we have been investigating it for some time. Electric rails have been used in public installations for many years, mainly for connection and placement of spotlights. However, we have begun to observe a clear trend also emerging within the home furnishings sector.
In connection with this product launch, it therefore seemed quite natural for us to test the market's response to this new innovative type of audio installation. We have extensive experience of speakers mounted in rails before, but so far only in our business segment for integration into hotels, restaurants, shops etc. We believe that there will soon be a rising desire among consumers to have this type of speaker in their living environment as well.
The Audio Pro G10 is expected to be available in Australia from January 2021; however, Australian pricing has not yet been confirmed. Overseas it will sell for 250 EUR / 250 USD / 225 GBP.

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.
