Nice to look at, comfortable to use, great to listen to. Audiopro C5 is an excellent speaker that works great in solitude but which can be part of a multiroom system, able to combine elegance, practicality and quality. The dimensions are not like an “invisible” object, but neither cumbersome, the C5 is as big as it must, in order to have the right sound. It is thirteen centimeters high, 25 cm wide and 15 cm deep, which makes it possible to put it more or less anywhere, shelves, tables, desks, without creating particular problems.
The weight is 2.5 kilos, not indifferent in short, and despite having a comfortable leather “handle” to be able to carry it, it is not a “mobile” speaker, on the contrary, the look and feel of the object is a stable system, so the handle does not make much sense and its presence is hard to understand, even in aesthetic terms. The sound passes from two 0.75 ” 8 w side tweeters and a 4 ” 25 w central woofer, which make a fine show of themselves in the speaker facade, therefore clearly visible to give a strong and pleasant musical image , and do not hide the nature of the object. An object that has its own sober elegance, squared, in just three colors, white, gray and black, which are therefore perfect more or less for any environment, living room, bedroom, study or office, thus enhancing the ‘multiroom’ possibility of system, and in a polite pink for those who want something more “fancy”.
How does it sound? Well, very well, the lows are full-bodied, the highs crisp, great for jazz and dance, maybe a little less for the more complex rock, but they are maniacal notations, for a medium-high level daily use the C5 does the his duty in an excellent way. The controls, all on the top of the device, are very comfortable, paring is quick and stress-free, the “play-forward-rewind” management is blind-proof, and the “line” of the volume control is even fun to use. . And there are four presets for you to store your favorite playlists or radio stations. It is not a party speaker, in the sense that the maximum volume is not high enough to support a “party” with several people, even in a not huge room, but it is more than enough volume to listen to the hard rock of Ac / Dc with the necessary and inevitable power.
The WI Fi works well, the Bluetooth reaches a more than enough distance to be able to send the sound from one room to another without too much difficulty, there are inputs to connect the system to a turntable or a smartphone via wires, and an RCA sub out. And you can also recharge your mobile phone. C5 supports the necessary formats, Mp3 of course but also Apple Lossless, WMA, AAC and FLAC. The multiroom, as it should, provides for the transmission of sound to all devices at the same time or even a different programming for each room. The price is affordable, the relationship between price and quality (also in appearance) is very good, the sound is warm and enveloping and in the end, among the many solutions on the market, for a good quality multiroom system with the Audiopro C5 you can spend a high but not fatal sum to have a good system, to grow one piece at a time, to sound the whole house.
