The new W-generation

W stands for Wireless and introduces a new generation with more freedom for WiFi music. Enjoy better sound, an easier app, and a refined look.

For more than four decades, Audio Pro has been crafting award-winning speakers, and during the last few decades also taking part in shaping the world of wireless audio with our innovative technology and globally recognized sound quality.

With our Scandinavian heritage at heart, we take pride in crafting speakers that blend minimalist, elegant design with user-friendly functionality - products that truly elevate your listening experience.

Our solid expertise in loudspeaker manufacturing ensures that every innovation we bring to market is built on a foundation of quality, durability, and outstanding performance.

Welcome to the latest chapter in our story: The new W-generation, with an improved sound, a new user-friendly app and a refined harmonized design.

New app

Controlling music has never been easier, all within the new app.

Our new app has a redesigned interface that makes setup, control and daily use easier and more enjoyable.

It has new features such as advanced EQ, WiFi timing synchronization, new streaming services and more frequent firmware updates. You can still manage multiple speakers, create groups and control playback throughout your house in a very easy and intuitive way. You will experience performance, reliability and features that is significant for an app in the forefront of technology.

Improved Sound

Dive into a world of richer, deeper, and more immersive audio. No matter where you listen.

Audio Pro speakers have long set the standard for sound quality, but we see every generation as an opportunity to raise the bar. With this upgrade, our team has meticulously fine-tuned every model, individually optimized each product for an even greater clarity, dynamics, and musicality. The result is a truly stunning sound that sets a new benchmark for our lineup.

The W-generation delivers a dynamic, contemporary sound signature, thoughtfully retuned to suit the preferences of today’s listeners - reflecting how music is enjoyed, seamlessly moving with you throughout your home and fitting effortlessly into a more connected, multiroom lifestyle.

We have reduced noise and distortion while increasing usable loudness for a truly immersive and exhilarating listening experience.

Refined design

Nordic vibes and harmonized aesthetics.

Over the years, we have become known for our distinct Scandinavian design - a clean, minimalistic style that celebrates simplicity. This design philosophy remains at the core of everything we do.

With our new W-generation design, we continue on this path, but now with even greater refinement. We have harmonized our aesthetic to ensure that our speakers not only look beautiful individually, but also complement each other perfectly as part of a multiroom system.

A streamlined colour palette ensures a cohesive look between all models, making it easier to mix and match your speakers together. We have synchronized grills, control panels, and metal details to elevate the design of your speaker even further. But you will still be able to recognize our signature design style.

Q&A

To make it easier to get to know the new W-generation, we’ve gathered common questions and answers. Here you’ll find quick help, useful tips, and insights into what’s new.
1
What does the "W" stand for?

The “W” in the new generation represents Wireless — a nod to the freedom and flexibility central to today’s listening experience. We needed a letter to mark this new generation, and “W” was the perfect fit: simple, strong, and true to what these speakers are built for.

2
I can’t see all the features in the new app. Why?

Only W‑generation products support the full feature set. Older speaker models have limited app functionality.

3
Can I adjust the EQ while using HDMI/ARC?

Unfortunately, no. The EQ feature is only available when you’re connected through other inputs such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or AUX.

4
Is the Audio Pro W-app the same thing as the WiiM Home App?

No, the audio pro app is a separate app. It is based on Linkplay technology, and Linkplay is the parent company of WiiM, but they are not the same thing.

5
Can you use the WiiM app to control Audio Pro products?

We are aware that this might work, but we can never guarantee any functionality using a third-party app, whether it is the WiiM app or any other. We always recommend using the audio pro app to control our speakers.

6
Can you use the new audio pro app to control older generations of Audio Pro speakers?

You can use the new ‘audio pro’ app (the W-app) with generation 2 and generation 3 (W) speakers. For generation 1 speakers you need to use the old ‘audio pro legacy’ app.

For systems including speakers from all three generations, both the new and old app must be used.

Please note that you need to have the new W-generation speakers (generation 3 speakers) to be able to use the new features of the app, like the new EQ, Wi-Fi synchronization, extra streaming services. You can still use the app to play your generation 2 speakers, group speakers etc., but you cannot use the new features of the W-app, then you need to have the new W-speakers with their new software.

7
What is “the legacy app”?

The ‘audio pro legacy’ app is an updated and renamed version of our previous main app. It will continue receiving security and bug fix updates for the foreseeable future.

8
Why does it say “Powered by WiiM” in some news articles and “Powered by Linkplay” in others? 

Due to some misinterpretations by the public during the W-generation launch in early September 2025, Audio Pro decided to stop using the previous phrasing “Powered by WiiM” in its marketing, even though this was approved by Linkplay Technologies.

Audio Pro, together with Linkplay, made a joint decision to clarify the phrasing to “Powered by Linkplay” to highlight the difference between app compatibility between Audio Pro and WiiM products and avoid any further confusion. Room correction has been removed from our app. We are not satisfied with the current performance. If the performance meets our criteria in the future we might add it.

9
What are the products called “A10 MkII WiiM edition” and “C10 MkII WiiM edition”?

These are products sold by Linkplay Technologies currently only in the US market. They are Audio Pro speakers that are updated by Linkplay to be compatible with the WiiM app and ecosystem. As separate products, they should not be misinterpreted as being part of the Audio Pro range of products.

10
What new functions does the new W-generation app have that the old one didn’t?

In addition to being based on significantly newer app software and loudspeaker firmware, the new app also has an advanced EQ, Wi-Fi synchronization, more frequent speaker firmware updates, and a user interface that is more intuitive and modern.

11
What features does the old app have that the new one doesn’t?

Because of limitations in the much newer and updated software, we unfortunately had to remove Midnight mode, bass/treble controls (replaced by the more advanced EQ), subwoofer output level (but the subwoofer output signal has been increased to facilitate level setting directly on the subwoofer instead), virtual surround and, for some products, satellite mode.

12
I have generation 2 products. Should I choose the new W-generation app or the Legacy app?

You can use the new ‘audio pro’ app (the W-app) with generation 2 and generation 3 (W) speakers. But you can also continue to use the audio pro legacy app, especially if you have generation 1 products that you would like to create groups with.

Please note that you need to have the new generation 3 W speakers to be able to use the new features of the app, like the new EQ, Wi-Fi synchronization, extra streaming services, etc. You can still use the new ‘audio pro’ (W) app to play your generation 2 speakers, group speakers etc, but you cannot use the new features of the W-app.

13
What streaming services does the new W-generation app provide?

Streaming services available are:
Amazon Music, BBC Radio, Calm Radio, Deezer, Hotmix, iHeart Radio, KKBOX, Napster, Open Network Stream, Pandora, Plex, Qobuz, Radio Paradise, SoundCloud, SoundMachine, Spotify, Soundtrack Your Brand, TIDAL, TuneIn, vTuner via Google Cast and AirPlay 2.

14
Is the new app only compatible with the new speakers? Does this mean that there will be no future updates for the old app?

You can use the new ‘audio pro’ app (the W-app) with generation 2 and generation 3 (W) speakers. For generation 1 speakers you need to use the old ‘audio pro legacy’ app.


The ‘audio pro legacy’ app is an updated and renamed version of our previous main app. It will continue receiving security and bug fix updates for the foreseeable future.

15
What physical differences have you made to the new W-generation speakers to make them sound so much better than the previous generations?

We use a new and improved tweeter in the A38, we completely changed the cabinet in both A38 and A48 regarding the rear Alu plate, we improved Drumfire D-2 rear plate mounting. Other than that, we implemented various mechanical tweaks where needed (such as improved gaskets and internal stabilization etc.).

All other changes were mainly done via software and DSP updates. This enables the already excellent amplifiers we use in all products to perform better, applying power in a more optimum way.

16
Are you able to upgrade your older speakers (generation 1 and generation 2) so that you can use the new W-generation (generation 3) features?

Unfortunately, no. You need to have the new generation 3 (W) speakers to be able to use the new features of the app, like the new EQ, Wi-Fi synchronization and extra streaming services. You can still use the app to play your generation 2 speakers, group speakers etc., but you cannot use the new features of the W-app.

17
The EQ doesn’t seem to work on my devices.

Then you probably have the older generation products. The new functions in the new app only work for generation 3 (W) speakers.
