Audio Pro’s A28 Wireless Speaker System is Finally Coming to America and We’re in Love with the Finish

Audio Pro can add more style to your home entertainment system with new walnut finish on its A28 wireless speaker at $650 pair.

Audio Pro A28 Wireless Speakers Walnut Lifestyle

Sweden-based Audio Pro was founded over 45 years ago and is known for making home and portable speakers, subwoofers, and multi-room players. They are also known for their minimalist product design. One of Audio Pro’s most popular products is their A28 wireless speaker system; which has so far only been available with a black or white finish in Europe.

Music listeners in the U.S. are no longer out of luck in 2025 and we are dying to get our hands on a pair with the new Walnut Veneer option which looks rather striking to say the least.

The $650 USD asking price for this finish makes them an even bigger bargain and expect to see them reviewed by EIC Ian White as part of his “Cabin Audiophiler” series that starts this weekend.

From Jens Henriksen, CCO of Audio Pro: “We strongly believe that our Scandinavian, minimalistic style is the recipe for our success. Our aim is to keep our design as clean as possible, without any frills or embellishments. However, we have recently seen a demand in the market for a surface that highlights the wood structure and its beautiful grain and diverse color scale. We feel that this does not mean that we have to compromise with our minimalist and plain design, but that it can be combined nicely. We have therefore decided to launch one of our very popular speakers, the A28, in a beautiful walnut veneer.

A28 Features

If you are not familiar with the A28, this entry is designed to be a small but powerful multi-room stereo speaker system that can work well as either a TV speaker as a soundbar substitute or just used for music listening. 

The A28 consists of a speaker pair. The primary speaker (left speaker) incorporates the wireless and wired source connectivity, as well as the amplifiers needed for both speakers. The secondary speaker (right speaker) is passive, connecting to the primary speaker via standard speaker connections. 

In the role of a multi-room speaker system, the A28 supports 3 different multi-room systems; AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and Audio Pro’s multi-room system. For streaming music, you can access several music streaming services via Bluetooth or the Audio Control App, or music stored locally on a NAS or other compatible device.

Using the A28 as a soundbar substitute, the A28 provides an HDMI-ARC connection for easy connection to most TVs. The A28 also provides a subwoofer output for getting deeper bass for those blockbuster movies when connected to an external subwoofer.   

Pro Tip: A wireless remote control is also provided to operate the core features of the A28 including wireless and wired input selection and playback control.

The Bottom Line

Audio Pro is not that well known in the US, but from their base in Sweden they offer a range of wireless speakers that incorporate practical features and modest price points. Their “trademark” is minimalist styling which is carried over to the A28 system, which is currently offered with a black or white finish, but will be adding more visual style beginning at the end of February 2025 with a Walnut Veneer finish at a slightly higher price than the black or white versions of the A28.

The Bluetooth and Wireless speaker category under $650 is very competitive with a number of excellent options from Q Acoustics, Audioengine, Triangle, and Klipsch. We can see these giving the Q Acoustics M20 HD and Triangle Borea BR03 BT a real run for their money.

One notable omission is a MM phono section for those who want to directly connect their turntable; check out our suggestions for both an affordable high-end turntable and phono pre-amplifier to complete this system for under $2,000.

Price & Availability

The Audio Pro A28 with the Walnut Veneer finish option will be available from Audio Pro at the end of February 2025 for $650 (USD). However, the regular A28 colors in black or white are available now for $600 at Amazon.

    So wireless, but still connected to each other by a speaker cable and a power cord.

      MarkH,

      Which is the case with almost 90% of the wireless speakers on the market. 100% if you include the power cords. The “best” wireless speakers (KEF, Dynaudio, Q Acoustics, PSB) have an Ethernet cable, TOSLINK Optical connected to a TV or Soundbar, HDMI ARC, line-level inputs for a CD player or phono stage, and subwoofer output. I have a pair of KEF LSX II with 5 cables attached to the primary. “Wireless” is a nice concept.

    It seeems that the only true wireless speakers (incl. power cord) are ‘portable’ Bluetooth types. I have a pair of these Sony speakers that have been highlighted here in the past: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_158XP700/Sony-SRS-XP700.html and their variants/updates.

    There are many types/sizes – https://www.crutchfield.com/g_385550/Portable-Bluetooth-Speakers.html

    I run the above in a stereo config via the app and work well for our workout room. Each sits next to a power outlet. I also have an H&K pair that run the same way, but are discontinued and also exhibit occasional Bluetooth drop outs. For most requiring speaker connections, I’ve found you can run the connector cable behind drywall using patch doors once the hole is cut – plenty of examples on Yt.

    I love the asethetic of the A28s and similar makers (DALI, Arendal Sounds, et al.). Thanks for bringing another example! Happy TGIF.

      Asa,

      I’m partial to the KEF LSX II and the Q M40s…but these have always intrigued me.

      Nocs Monolith….
