A growing number of music streaming fans are attracted by WiiM‘s impressive line of streaming products that provide better-than-expected features and performance that is very affordable. Building on that success, WiiM announced in 2023 that it was joining Origin Acoustics to integrate its streaming platform into a new line of custom install products and in 2024 announced its CI MOD S Streamer and A80 Streaming Amplifier to further its presence in that market.
Now they are expanding their presence further with a new partnership with Swedish Speaker maker Audio Pro with the incorporation of WiiM capabilities into new WiiM Editions of Audio Pro’s A10 Mark II and C10 MK II wireless speakers.
What Audio Pro WiiM Edition Speakers Bring To The Table
The AudioPro A10 and C10 MKII, WiiM Edition, brings together powerful 50-watt and 80-watt output minimalistic-designed speakers with advanced smart features that enhance both everyday music streaming and home entertainment setups. With the addition of WiiM OS and WiiM App, users will enjoy a new level of convenience and control with these wireless speakers.
Key Features of WiiM OS
The WiiM Home App allows users to manage content and devices from one central place. With access to an extensive range of music services like Spotify, Amazon Music, TIDAL, Deezer, Qobuz, your own music library, and more, users can switch between platforms while controlling WiiM-compatible devices using an interface.
With Seamless Casting, the WiiM OS provides integration with Apple AirPlay, Google Chromecast, DLNA, Spotify Connect, and TIDAL Connect. This means hassle-free casting and streaming from apps across multiple devices.
Gapless Playback supports an uninterrupted listening experience, whether streaming full albums or curated playlists. Up to 24-bit/192 kHz audio quality is supported.
Versatility is enhanced on the C10 and A10 MKII by the WiiM OS enabling users to connect external devices such as turntables, TVs, or stereo systems. Multiroom audio is supported.
The WiiM OS provides extensive EQ customization options. This allows listeners to fine-tune sound based on environment and personal preferences. Graphic and Parametric EQ settings are provided. Upcoming patent-pending features unique to WiiM also include Automatic Room Correction and Advanced Bass Management.
Built-in support for Google Assistant and Siri allows users to control music hands-free using their voice. This makes it easy to manage playback, adjust settings, or explore new tracks.
Regular firmware updates will be made available that introduce new features, improve audio quality, and expand compatibility with the latest music services.
Enhanced Listening Experience
The Audio Pro A10 MKII and C10 MKII, WiiM Edition, combine sound output with advanced smart features, offering an audio experience with flexible connectivity.
The A10 MKII, with its compact design and 50-watt output, and the C10 MKII, featuring an 80-watt sound system with a 5.25″ woofer and two textile dome tweeters, already deliver exceptional sound
quality. With the integration of WiiM OS, both speakers are transformed into smarter, more connected devices, adapting to users’ preferences in real-time.

The Bottom Line
We are very familiar with WiiM and our experience with almost all of their products so far is that they deliver excellent sonic performance, an extremely well designed control app, and the value for the money is without equal at the moment.
This move by Audio Pro might boost its wireless speaker product line in the US, while WiiM might gain more exposure in the European market. Ultimately, the partnership now offers consumers a very competitively priced whole-home audio wireless solution over Sonos.
