Introducing the WiiM Edition of the Audio Pro A10 MKII and C10 MKII

reminds me a bit of the white gold variant of the submariner reference 1680. you know it exists. but.

That is somewhat surprising. I would have thought that interoperability would be a design requirement. Maybe the engineering cooperation is not as close as it originally seemed it might be.

In regard to discussions related to the above, i.e. near future interoperability between WiiM and Audio Pro (W) products.

From: https://www.whathifi.com/speakers/w...reless-speakers-range-with-a-wiim-powered-app

”WiiM and Audio Pro have contacted What Hi-Fi? to clarify that, due to a miscommunication and to avoid any confusion, the new Audio Pro W-generation of wireless speakers launched earlier this month will no longer be described as "powered by WiiM" and will instead be referred to as "powered by LinkPlay" – LinkPlay is the parent company of WiiM. The change is to make clear that the new Audio Pro W-generation range is "not a part of the WiiM Ecosystem."

And: ”For further clarity, the only Audio Pro speakers that are powered by WiiM and integrated with the WiiM Home app are the A10 and C10, WiiM Edition speakers, available exclusively via WiiM’s Amazon storefront."

What does the "W" mean then? Maybe they should be called Audio Pro L series

The previous generations have been using Linkplay modules as well, so why add an L now?

Why add a W if it doesn't mean WiiM?

 

[Puscifer]

For me, the W in Pro Audio indicates that it can be used/integrated with Wiim equipment/app
They should drop the W and instead write by LinkPlay.
The problem is probably that the error regarding the name has gone too far, so it is too late to change it.
But they should remove the W. I think people are going to get irritated when they get it wrong.

Maybe because their Gen W small speakers are baby boomers

Best to ask Audio Pro why and how they decide on names for their products, not the WiiM community.

Having said that, @Burnside probably found out the true reason.

1. Why did they start with Generation S?
2. How can some generations only span 15 years?

Maybe too many members of the Club 27, so they were fading out quickly?
