Swedish audio specialist Audio Pro has today announced the release of the W-generation versions of its iconic Drumfire series: the full-size Drumfire II W and the compact Drumfire D-2 W. These new models round out the brand’s refreshed W-generation lineup, which began rolling out in September 2025, bringing enhanced sound quality, a revamped app experience, and refined design to the entire range.

The Drumfire series has been a standout success since its original debut in 2018, known for delivering bold, powerful audio with a distinctive rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic. The W-generation iteration supercharges performance while maintaining the signature energetic sound that lets listeners “physically feel every little part of the music.” Nils Ankarcrona, CEO of Audio Pro, commented: “The Drumfire II W launch is the last of our W-generation launches, and makes it possible for us to offer our entire range in this new improved W-generation; a generation offering improved sound, a new app and refined design.”

Drumfire II W: Bold, Loud, and Uncompromising

The flagship Drumfire II W is designed for those who crave volume without compromise. It delivers a pure, bold sound with exceptional clarity and detail, even at lower volumes, ensuring music remains engaging and alive across all listening levels.

Powered by a digital Class D amplifier configuration (2x20W for highs/mids + 60W dedicated, plus integration with a 200W subwoofer in full setup), the speaker features dual 1″ textile dome tweeters and two 4.5″ woofers in a bass-reflex enclosure. When paired with the dedicated Drumfire D-SUB (an 8″ front-firing long-throw subwoofer with 200W amplification and adjustable crossover/phase), the system achieves thunderous dynamics and deep, controlled bass.

Connectivity is comprehensive for modern multi-room and streaming needs: Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) with timing synchronization, Bluetooth 4.2, RCA inputs, and subwoofer output. Wireless options include Google Cast, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Audio Pro’s own multi-room system. The updated Audio Pro app provides intuitive control, access to services like Amazon Music, Deezer, Qobuz, TuneIn, and more, plus over-the-air firmware updates.

Six physical preset buttons offer one-touch access to favorite playlists or radio stations—no app required. The design blends classic rock attitude with sophistication: faux leather wrapping, hand-stitched details, and solid aluminum accents in soft white, stylish grey, or classic black. Dimensions are compact at 155 x 365 x 195 mm for the main unit (with subwoofer adding height in stacked configuration).

Drumfire D-2 W: Compact Power with Flexible Setup

The Drumfire D-2 W serves as the top module of the full Drumfire II W system but shines as a standalone speaker. It packs the same 2x20W + 60W Class D amplification, dual 1″ textile dome tweeters, and two 4.5″ woofers, delivering pure hi-fi acoustics with deep, controlled bass and crisp highs.

Ideal for shelves, desks, or smaller spaces, it supports all the same streaming and multi-room features as its larger sibling, including Google Cast, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and the enhanced app ecosystem. When combined with a subwoofer (via RCA or wirelessly in multi-room setups), the crossover automatically optimizes, shifting low frequencies to the sub for even greater volume and impact.

The D-2 W shares the rock-inspired aesthetic and color options, maintaining a footprint of 155 x 365 x 190 mm.

W-Generation Enhancements Across the Board

The W-generation represents Audio Pro’s commitment to evolving its wireless speakers with a focus on clarity, reduced distortion, increased loudness, and a modernized user experience. The new app delivers smoother navigation, reliable multi-room synchronization, and broad streaming support, while design refinements ensure cohesive Scandinavian style throughout the lineup.

Both models support high-resolution formats up to 24-bit/96kHz and stand ready for regular updates via the app.

Pricing and Availability

The Drumfire D-2 W is priced at £350 / €400 / $400, while the Drumfire II W retails at £600 / €700 / $700 (prices may vary by region).

Both are available now in the UK, Europe, and the US through authorized Audio Pro retailers. Review samples are readily available for media and influencers.

With these launches, Audio Pro completes its W-generation transformation, offering music lovers powerful, versatile wireless speakers that combine heritage rock energy with contemporary connectivity and refinement.

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.
