Verdict

The Audio Pro C5 MkII is a compact, multiroom wireless speaker featuring a total power output of 41W powered by a digital Class D amplifier (2x8W for the dual 0.75-inch textile dome tweeters and 25W for the single 4-inch woofer), operating across a frequency range of 50 to 20,000 Hz. Measuring 130 x 250 x 150 mm and weighing 2.4 kg, its main advantages include an iconic bass-reflex design with a physical leather handle, six programmable one-touch preset buttons, a dedicated subwoofer output, and robust multiroom streaming flexibility through dual-band Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Bluetooth 4.2, and RCA analogue line-in inputs. However, its primary downsides are that it is a mains-powered home unit that lacks a built-in battery for true portability, it lacks an Ethernet port, and it does not feature integrated voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
