The wireless speaker category is moving faster than a Porsche 911 on the Autobahn, and Audio Pro just floored it with the launch of its new W-generation speakers. Unveiled at IFA Berlin 2025 — which conveniently lands at the same time as CEDIA 2025, where we’ll also have boots-on-the-ground coverage — this isn’t just another cosmetic refresh.
The Swedish brand has rebuilt the entire experience, from a WiiM-powered app to re-tuned sound and refined design. For a company already known for squeezing ridiculous performance out of compact speakers, this marks a new chapter in how wireless should look, feel, and play.
Launching September 5th, the W-generation introduces updated versions of Audio Pro’s most popular speakers, each re-engineered with the new app, refined sound, and unified design. The range covers everything from compact models to full-scale floorstanders, giving listeners multiple ways to build a system.
The lineup includes:
- A10 MkII W / A15 W (table-top speakers)
- A28 W / A38 W / A48 W (bookshelf and floorstanding speakers)
- C5 MkII W / C10 MkII W / C20 W
- Drumfire II W / Drumfire D-2 W
Select models will also be offered in a walnut finish, adding a natural tone to Audio Pro’s typically minimalist palette.
Smarter Control: Audio Pro’s W-Generation Gets a Brain Upgrade with WiiM
Under the hood, the W-generation isn’t just polishing chrome — it’s a full overhaul in control and connectivity. The new app, now powered by WiiM, brings a level of functionality, performance, and reliability that most wireless speaker brands still treat like a future roadmap slide.
The updated app delivers:
- A completely redesigned interface that actually makes setup and control intuitive
- Advanced EQ and room correction tools worthy of a hi-fi badge
- Expanded streaming service support: Spotify, TIDAL, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Napster, TuneIn, Apple AirPlay and more
- Smarter Wi-Fi timing and sync (because lag belongs in Berlin traffic, not your multi-room system)
- Enhanced grouping and multi-room features
- Stronger connectivity and troubleshooting that doesn’t feel like IKEA instructions translated three times
“You’re not just getting new features, you’re getting a new, streamlined listening experience,” says Nils Ankarcrona, CEO of Audio Pro. “Perfect multi-room listening with a rock-solid app is something we’re very proud of. Consumers demand a seamless experience and we’re happy to give it to them and let the music play.”
And for those already invested in Audio Pro, good news: every W-generation speaker is fully backward-compatible with existing products. A proper Swedish-WiiM handshake — engineered for the future, but without leaving anyone behind.
A New Sound: Audio Pro W-Generation Redefines Compact Hi-Fi with More Clarity, Loudness and Bass
At the heart of the W-generation is a redefined Audio Pro sound signature — modern, dynamic, and tuned for listeners who expect hi-fi performance from all-in-one speakers. The engineering team has reworked every model in the lineup for greater clarity, lower distortion, and a massive leap in loudness. The result: an immersive, powerful, and genuinely musical sound profile that holds together even when you push the volume.
The flagship A48 W delivers a +10–15 dB jump in maximum sound pressure along with improved BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) tweeter performance. The compact A15 W digs deeper with fuller bass and longer battery life, while every speaker in the range punches far beyond its size.
“Our goal wasn’t to tweak the sound,” explains Dunér. “It was to rethink it from the ground up, tackle the entire spectrum, and get the most musical performance possible from our small form factors.”
A New Design: Audio Pro W-Generation Brings Unified Scandinavian Style with Premium Finishes
Alongside the sonic overhaul, Audio Pro’s design team set out to unify the look of the range, creating a cohesive, premium aesthetic that blends Scandinavian minimalism with tactile richness.
The new lineup features harmonized colors and logo placement across models, synchronized grille fabrics, refined metal finishes, and enhanced logo badges for a stronger visual identity. Subtle but meaningful updates — cleaner back plates, adjusted button layouts, and refreshed textures — underline Audio Pro’s obsession with every detail.
The iconic silhouettes remain, but every component has been visually tightened and perfected. The result is a lineup that looks just as sharp as a single speaker as it does across an entire multiroom system.
Audio Pro A28 W
The Audio Pro A28 W is a serious step up from your typical soundbar. This active stereo speaker set delivers a bigger, more immersive soundstage thanks to a true left/right pair, making music and TV sound richer and more expansive. A28 W builds on the legacy of the original A28, bringing improved sound, smarter app control, and the latest WiiM technology.
Key Features:

The app is regularly updated via your mobile store, while firmware updates roll in automatically over-the-air.
Connectivity is flexible: stream over WiFi or Bluetooth, plug in digital sources via optical (PCM only), or analog sources via RCA. The 5 presets make it simple to jump between saved stations or playlists.
The cabinet is MDF, available in black or white paint, or walnut veneer for a more natural look. Magnetically attached fabric fronts can be removed for a cleaner, modern aesthetic. Wall mounting is possible (brackets sold separately), but these speakers fit comfortably on shelves as well.
