Audio Pro Sp3 New Guide

The SP3 is rated for 4 ohms with a sensitivity of 86dB. This makes it relatively easy to drive; a modest 25-50 watt amplifier (like the NAD D3020 or a simple Fosi Audio BT20A) is more than enough to fill a living room. However, the speaker reveals its true character when given headroom. At higher volumes (90dB+), the SP3 does not compress. The bass remains tight, and the soundstage—the ability to pinpoint where instruments are located in space—remains three-dimensional.

The "New" Audio Pro SP3 experience is designed for a specific demographic: the listener who has outgrown the tinny sound of smart assistants (like the Echo Dot) but doesn't want the hassle of a full component system.

It is the perfect "bedroom Hi-Fi." It delivers sound quality that rivals systems twice its price, provided you keep it powered (as it is not battery-operated, unlike its smaller sibling, the Addon C5 or C10 portable variants). audio pro sp3 new

Right out of the box, the Audio Pro SP3 New exudes that signature Scandinavian design language: clean, uncluttered, and functional.

Available in matte Black or White, the MDF cabinets are surprisingly heavy for their size (roughly 5.5 x 4 x 6 inches). This weight is a good sign—it suggests dense internal bracing that reduces cabinet resonance. The SP3 is rated for 4 ohms with a sensitivity of 86dB

The removable fabric grille is magnetic, a luxury you usually don't find at this price point. Without the grille, the exposed black drivers and the recessed tweeter give the speaker a slightly aggressive, modern look. On the front baffle of the master speaker, you’ll find a subtle LED indicator and a volume knob that doubles as an input selector (press to cycle sources).

The "New" vs. The Old: The most obvious change is the rear panel. The old SP3 had a clunky, recessed switch for high-frequency adjustment. The New version replaces this with a smoother EQ presets system controlled via the volume knob. More importantly, the old micro-USB port is gone; replaced by a modern USB-C port (though primarily for service, not audio streaming) and a dedicated optical input. At higher volumes (90dB+), the SP3 does not compress

If you hate the "gamer" aesthetic of flashing RGB lights and plastic chrome rings, the Audio Pro SP3 New is therapy for your eyes. The design is timeless. The new model features slightly rounded edges on the MDF cabinet compared to the sharper box of the original.

The removable magnetic grille is a nice touch. With the grille off, you see the contrast of the yellow/copper-colored Kevlar woofer against the silk dome tweeter—it looks expensive. The new model has also upgraded the terminal connections to proper binding posts (accepting banana plugs and bare wire), whereas the old version used spring clips.

Score: 9/10 – They look like they cost twice their actual price.
