There's something about the warm, natural look of wood that brings back the nostalgia of classic hi-fi systems. Audio Pro seems to understand this sentiment well, as they've just given their A28 speaker system a stunning makeover with a new walnut veneer finish. This addition breathes fresh life into the already impressive speakers, making them not just a feast for the ears but for the eyes as well.
The A28 speakers have been renowned for their ability to deliver a wider soundstage than most compact soundbars can manage. Each speaker houses a 4.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch textile dome tweeter, all powered by a hefty 2 x 75W digital Class D amplifier. With a frequency response of 45Hz to 20kHz, they're capable of producing rich, full-bodied audio that satisfies both music lovers and movie enthusiasts.
Connectivity is where the A28 truly shines. Equipped with HDMI ARC, they integrate seamlessly with modern TVs, providing a hassle-free setup for enhanced TV audio. There's also a subwoofer output for those who crave deeper bass and wish to add an external sub to their setup. For traditionalists, the optical and RCA inputs offer flexibility for various audio sources.
On the wireless front, the A28 doesn't disappoint. Dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on board, supporting a range of streaming options. Whether you prefer Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music, TuneIn Radio, or vTuner, these speakers have you covered. Plus, with multi-room capabilities via Google Cast, AirPlay 2, and Audio Pro's own system, expanding your audio experience throughout your home is effortless.
The new walnut veneer finish isn't just a cosmetic upgrade; it's a nod to the timeless designs of the past while embracing the technology of the present. This finish adds a layer of sophistication and warmth, making the speakers a standout piece in any room setup. It's a perfect blend for those who appreciate a vintage aesthetic without compromising on modern features.
Available at an RRP of £580 / $650, the Audio Pro A28 in walnut veneer is set to hit the shelves by the end of February. It's a slight premium over the standard black and white options, but for those who value both high-quality sound and a touch of retro flair, it's a worthy investment.
