Review on Portable acoustics Audio Pro Addon C10, 80 W, white by Dagmara Nowicka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

The speaker was really happy with the sound it produced; I couldn't believe such a small model can make such a mellow yet strong sound. For someone who like well-balanced music, bass is exactly what you need. Over 50% of the electricity in a city apartment makes the neighbors feel sorry for you even during the day, while between 10% and 20% of the power in the evening is sufficient for the eyes. It's obviously quite depressing from a stereo perspective, but you can purchase another of the same speaker (or more), connect them together over Wi-Fi, and obtain a stereo pair. Regrettably, the column lacks built-in Chromecast functionality (although there are a lot of online radio stations, including 2022 ones, and paid streaming services little known in the 2022). I plug in an unique Chromecast Audio device using the line-in jack and power it using a different USB adaptor (the USB port in the speaker turns off when the power is turned off, which is inconvenient because the Chromecast starts up slowly and the speaker tends to turn itself off when inactive). Bluetooth functions properly, although there are no sophisticated codecs (only a standard SBC - up to 328 Kbps). Regarding Bluetooth's sound quality, I have no concerns. Alternatively, you can utilize an external Bluetooth receiver, such as the Fiio, if you want to be an audiophile. The C10 computer speakers function well with Bluetooth and line-in, and when using a single speaker, there is no delay (there is a slider on the rear that enables you pick between zero latency and the ability to connect multiple speakers over Wi-Fi). I enjoyed this speaker a lot overall, and soon I started thinking about getting another one so I could set up a stereo pair or disperse them across the house to create a synchronized sound. The Audio Pro ecosystem, which also has a Wi-Fi C-Sub subwoofer, a wide range of system speakers (from big cabinets to tweeters), and a Link-1 module for connecting an existing music center over Wi-Fi, is made up of the C10 and other components. Hence, everyone can discover something useful here. I heartily endorse.

Pros
  • - Surprisingly harmonious sound for a speaker of this caliber - Able to sound for 20 meters with ease Strong yet discrete bass; good design; carrying handle; small size; fits even in confined spaces. - Support for paid music streaming providers and an integrated online radio - Support for connecting an active subwoofer through RCA or Wi-Fi - Two line inputs (3.5 mm and RCA) - Create a stereo pair with another speaker in the same column - Sound the entire apartment with multiple speakers over Wi-Fi - USB power output 1000 mA
Cons
  • Will want to purchase another one soon despite the following drawbacks: - No native Chromecast support - Only SBC (up to 328 Kbps) is available for Bluetooth codecs; - Stereo sound is perceived as coming from a single point; - Column turns off automatically when inactive; - The USB port only functions when the speaker is turned on.
