udio Pro has announced the immediate availability of its award-winning C5 MkII W wireless speaker in a new walnut veneer finish. The move expands the brand’s growing W-generation range and brings the same sophisticated real-wood aesthetic already offered on larger models to its most compact and versatile speaker.

The walnut veneer option, first introduced in 2025 on models such as the A28 W, A48 W, and C20 W, has proven highly popular with customers seeking a more premium and natural appearance. Audio Pro’s CEO, Nils Ankarcrona, explained the decision:

“The walnut finish is something we launched in 2025, thinking it would be suitable for a limited range of products. However, we’ve experienced substantial demand in the market for this colour version and have decided to increase the range of speakers we offer in this walnut veneer. The premium look and feel of the genuine veneer material appeals to our customers’ demand for quality products in a market that is shifting away from fast consumption trends with cheap and low-quality products, towards a more sustainable consumer behaviour.”

Ankarcrona added that the brand deliberately chose a finish that highlights the natural wood grain and its varied colour palette, perfectly complementing Audio Pro’s signature Scandinavian, minimalist design language.

Compact powerful speaker

The C5 MkII W is a compact yet surprisingly powerful speaker designed to deliver impressive performance in smaller rooms and apartments. As part of the new W-generation lineup, it benefits from an upgraded Linkplay-powered app featuring an improved user interface, custom EQ settings, Wi-Fi synchronisation, and enhanced multi-room functionality.

With its combination of clean Scandinavian design, genuine walnut veneer, and strong sonic performance, the new C5 MkII W Walnut is positioned as an ideal choice for design-conscious listeners who want high-quality, sustainable audio without compromising on style or space.

Suggested Retail Price: € 325 / $ 325 / £ 270

The Audio Pro C5 MkII W in walnut veneer is available now through authorised dealers and the brand’s official website.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
