Audio Pro Addon C3 Portable Multiroom Speaker - Grey

Product Information

The Audio Pro Addon C3 supports all the main streaming services, including Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, and Apple Music. If you use a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi link, the setup is easy. When configuring a multi-room setup, the app looks for other Audio Pro speakers on the same network in the region. They time with metronomic precision, but temper it with the kind of dynamic sense that captures rhythmic emphasis nicely. And that dynamic expression is a strong positive over the speakers’ entire performance, able to reflect lavish shifts and subtle nuance alike. It simply does everything right, and without fuss. They keep time with metronomic precision, but with a harmonic sense that nicely catches rhythmic focus. And the speakers’ expressive speech is a strong plus during their entire show, able to convey extravagant changes as well as delicate complexity. It actually does everything correctly and efficiently. C3 is basically the multi-room Wifi version of T3. The C3 has a rear-firing bass reflex port, similar to the T3, but Audio Pro engineers changed it to make it more tapered, which they say increases sound quality. If that doesn’t bother you, going for Audio Pro speakers that less price than Sonos speakers is a good deal to start with. However, when it comes to multiroom-audio speakers, Sonos is still on the top and enjoying its monopoly along with the quality it provides.

It’s hard to think of a less frustrating setup process. The Audio Pro software searches through all available items attached to the home network (with the possibility of manually inserting any that aren’t already tethered), and they’re all there for you to manipulate. Audio Pro CCO Jens Henriksen claims the product name was chosen to indicate “the same winning concept as before, only better”. The original has undergone a few tweaks, rather than wholesale change: it keeps its pair of 2cm tweeters, split by a 9cm woofer, as well as its familiar boombox-style chassis, but carries a redesigned reflex port to the rear for optimised bass response.The C3 manages to sound weighty, delving deep and rendering each note with detail and texture. By multi-room speaker standards, this is a remarkably refined performance. Verdict The usual connections, wired and wireless, are featured, with the A10 having capacity for 3.5mm aux, Bluetooth 4.0, Apple AirPlay, wi-fi andSpotify Connect. It also supports MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC and Apple Lossless formats. The headline-grabber here is that you now get three options for multi-room connectivity: aside from Audio Pro’s app, there's both Google Chromecast and AirPlay 2. We set two C10 MkIIs up with Audio Pro’s app (we name one 'White' and one 'Grey' for easy identification) and it’s surprisingly easy to get audio to play through one, both, or as a stereo pair.

As the Addon C10 is to the Addon C3, similarly the Drumfire’s better-honed talents run further than the added power and bottom end over its family members – it is again a step up in terms of performance across the board.Audio Pro A10 is a fairer model to compare with Sonos One as they both have the same cylindrical design, none like the usual designs of the Audio Pro C series. It has the nearly priced same as Sonos one as well. As part of the C-Series, you can link together several speakers for effortless, multi-room sound. Controlled via a dedicated app, setting a multi-speaker system up around your home is easy. Thanks to Internet connection via Wi-Fi, there’s no need for any wires between rooms, either. Even more impressively, you can incorporate old Bluetooth-only Addon speakers*, by using a C3, C5 or C10 as a parent speaker. (*Audio Pro ADDON Link 1 required for function support). The Audio Pro Addon C5 not only has excellent sound but also has a lot of useful features. The Audio Pro Addon C5 is first and foremost a multiroom speaker. That means it can connect to other Audio Pro speakers and be controlled by a smartphone app. We considered the software to be very user-friendly, and while it can be a little sluggish at times, it performs admirably overall. Since the individual music is managed by your favorite listening service, you won’t waste much time in the Audio Pro app. Play all the speakers at the same time or play them individually with their own content or music. Drag and drop to make groups and collaborate. Set the speaker you want to play and enjoy the thousands of music you have at your fingertips. You can also play music from old vinyl. Just connect your turntable to an Audio Pro addon C5 or C10 speaker and you can play some old school music in your gear. You can stream the music wirelessly to all the speakers in your setup.

Living with the app is a slightly different proposition, though. In some ways it’s simple –‘drag and drop’ to partner or separate speakers, either in stereo pairs or multi-room zones, and tweak the bass and treble at your leisure. But it can be a little buggy, and is certainly limited compared to most rival systems. Each speaker looks like the face of a ‘koala bear’ from the front. It is a distinguishable body design which is also the driver configuration. Equipped with a pair of 2cm soft dome tweeters and mid/bass drivers (and reflex ports, incidentally) growing in line with the cabinet. The Addon C3 has a 9cm woofer, the Addon C5 and Addon C5A have a 10cm woofer, and the Addon C10 has the highest at 13cm. The Class D optical amplification’s power output increases in equal increments: 15W, 40W, and 80W, respectively.

However, if you want to know Jbl Xtreme and Onyx Studio, then you can take a look at our article. That might grab your attention for a bit. Multiroom performance The Play:5 comes with 3 tweezers, and that provides incredible sound throw and impressive bass. The sound quality of Play:5 is not in question at all. Like every other Sonos speaker, the Sonos Play:5 is pretty simple. It can also be kept horizontally or vertically, and it adjusts to the internal processing accordingly, making it the smartest among the smart speakers. If you are no expert, the sound quality of both of these speakers would feel good to you at their own place. However, Audio Pro C5A provides a little edge to its audio quality with the way they are designed with the addition of twin tweezers that even fill a large room which its amplifying voice. However, living with the smartphone app is a completely different experience. It’s easy in some ways – only ‘drag and drop’ to partner or separate speakers, either in stereo pairs or multi-room areas, and adjust the bass and treble as required. However, it can be a little buggy at times, and it is definitely constrained in comparison to other competing programs.

If you have listened to one of Audio Pro’s Addon speakers before, the new signature should still be recognisable. Thanks to the physical design of its speakers, Audio Pro has always managed to give a great deal of body to its sound, and that is still the case. That slightly altered reflex port is still doing a job supporting the taut low-end delivered by the Addon T3+’s woofer, and the richness of its tone is present right the way up through the register as the tweeters reach their highest note. As it has six internal antennas, the wifi and Bluetooth connectivity are at par. Also, it compatible with Airplay 2 and various voice control assistants as well. The presence of stereo speakers makes it one step ahead of C10. Also, it comes with a mute function; you usually don’t find it in many speakers. On the other hand, Sonos One, with a cylindrical shape, looks classy, compact, and perfect as a smart speaker. The bugs are neither constant nor devastating, but the odd stutter and hang – particularly when pairing or splitting speakers – gets annoying in a short time.Small in size, big on sound, the C3 delivers astonishing audio quality for its size. The plan for Audio Pro’s Addon wireless speaker line has been straightforward. Finish the regular Bluetooth models’ architecture and sound quality, then release multi-room versions of the same speakers. It might be simple but it’s very effective. For those who own the previous C10, Audio Pro says the C10 MkII can be used as the master speaker with the older versionfollowing a firmware update. Indeed, after setting up the older C10 through the Audio Pro app, we are able to use it as the master and sync the MkII with it for multi-room audio. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 2nd November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) Derived from a multi-award-winning speaker range, the Addon C3 boasts the best sound quality at its price.
