5 ESSENTIAL ADD-ONS
Thinking about accessories? These are the perfect partner for the Audio Pro A15
1 AUDIO PRO C5 MKII
If you’re looking for another speaker or two to build out your Audio Pro speaker network, you’ve got plenty of choice. The new C5 MKII is a stellar pick, with deep and rich sound, a wealth of connectivity options, on-board controls for operating it, and aesthetics that we’re rather taken by.

JACKERY PORTABLE POWER STATION EXPLORER 240
Battery power is all well and good, but the Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 240 will make sure that you can keep your outdoor speaker and indeed all your outdoor gear going for even longer – it features a 240 watt-hour lithium-ion battery pack to recharge your speaker many times over. £259, jackery.com
3 SYNOLOGY DS220+ NAS
Audio Pro speakers, including the A15, can stream tunes from Network Attached Storage (NAS) drives: hard drives that connect to your home network and that can be accessed from any device. There are plenty of features and it’s good value for money. £299, synology.com
4 GOOGLE NEST MINI
Among the many tricks up the sleeve of the Audio Pro A15 is compatibility with the Chromecast standard developed by Google – that means you can cast audio straight to it from apps on your phone, and it also means you can get music playing with voice commands, if you have a Nest Mini. £34, store.google.com
5 AUDIO PRO LINK 1
Sticking with the Audio Pro gear, the Link 1 device exists for the specific purpose of connecting up your older, analogue speakers to an Audio Pro network. It does the job very well too, with a variety of analogue and digital outputs for you to make use of, and easy control via the Audio Pro app.
