Basically, there’s what there should be: the bass is deep enough (assisted by the electronics), and voices come across nicely and openly in the soundstage. There’s also a quite reasonable sense of space behind and to either side of the speakers. The first impression of the Audio Pro A28 is really positive. Although much smaller than shoeboxes, they provide a well-rounded and warm sound more reminiscent of a ‘real’ stereo system than a pair of small multi-room speakers.

Compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Audio Pro’s own multi-room systems, the A28’s are supremely flexible. Use the dedicated Audio Pro system app and you can even incorporate old Bluetooth-only Audio Pro Addon speakers*, by using an A-series or C-series product as a parent speaker. (*Audio Pro ADDON Link 1 required for function support). Do I want Active or Wireless? I'm not sure. I'm working from home and listening to Spotify all day on a Sony RDP XF300ip (40w, 150 - 10000 Hz, Drivers are 25 mm, 76 mm). I would like something which sounds significantly better which can also play Spotify Connect (so I can use my phone while music plays) and radio. The Audio Pro A28 is a speaker system that gives you a lot for very little money. With streaming, multi-room and plenty of inputs, you get a complete little stereo system. Just add a mobile and a streaming subscription and you’re good to go.The Audio Pro app itself is a little rudimentary compared to some, but also fairly well thought out. It's responsive and not over-complicated, which is important if you’re using the A26 as part of a larger Audio Pro multi-room set-up. Swedish Audio Pro has more than 40 years of experience in building active speakers for home use. We have tested many, and very often with good results.

There is a straightforward EQ control in the form of bass and treble sliders, although these are generally best left flat. There’s also an audio virtualiser mode to help create a soundstage especially for movie-watching and a night mode to enhance dialogue clarity while keeping the main volume and bass as low as possible. As well as working brilliantly with your TV, the Audio Pro A28 speakers are fantastic with music. Compatible with Spotify Connect (premium account required) and TIDAL Connect, they blend seamlessly with your favourite music service. Using cloud-based streaming, a vast array of music is always close to hand. Sidst, men ikke mindst, har Audio Pro sin egen multirumsstandard og en dertil hørende app, der giver mulighed for samme overflødighedshorn af musiktjenester som de mere etablerede multirumssystemer fra Sonos, HEOS og BluOS. Man er med andre ord virkelig godt dækket ind i betragtning af, at det her er et billigt højttalersystem fra en lille svensk producent! Audio Pro A28 fylder ikke meget, og de kan anbringes næsten hvor som helst. Dog aldrig så tæt som på billedet her! (Foto: Audio Pro) Jeg har brugt megen plads på at beskrive fejl, der nok må kaldes undskyldelige, når vi er nede i en så lav prisklasse. Og det samlede indtryk af Audio Pro A28 er en højttaler, der leverer meget til prisen. Men på ren lydkvalitet har vi altså hørt bedre til samme penge i de meget vellykkede Argon Audio Forte A4, der nu også fås med HDMI-indgang. De mangler så til gengæld indbygget streaming og multirum. A28 kan også godt fungere i en lille stue, hvor de kan give langt bedre lyd til TV’et end en soundbar i samme prisklasse. Dog kun i stereo. (Foto: Audio Pro) KonklusionThe bookshelf A28 and floorstanding A38 also support the hi-fi company’s updated multiroom streaming platform, so they can be matched with Audio Pro’s own speakers as well as joined with other AirPlay 2 and Google Cast speakers adding to their flexibility within the home. HDMI, Spotify Connect and Bluetooth connections are also supported. Da højttalerne er bittesmå, er de nemme at finde plads til. De vil fungere fint på en hylde eller en skænk. Og det er også fristende at placere dem i en reol. I så fald skal de have fri plads bag sig og til siderne, så basporten på bagsiden kan ‘ånde’. Man kan også placere dem på standere med afstand til bagvæg og sidevægge. Det vil give det bedste stereobillede. Vi forventer ikke, at denne formaning vil blive efterfulgt. Men nu er det i hvert fald sagt. Lydkvaliteten The Audio Pro A28 active speakers are so talented, you might want to rethink the need for a soundbar. If you’re already heavily invested in the Audio Pro ecosystem, you might wish to try them out, but we’d advise you to spend your money elsewhere and buy something more musically talented, such as the Ruark Audio MR1 Mk2s. The recipe is familiar and is used in most low-cost stereo speakers with built-in electronics. For example, the Argon Audio Fenris A5. Not true active
