TRIANGLE AIO 3 - Multi-room WiFi/Bluetooth Speaker

Product Information

It’s only with the built-in phono stage does it falter. We paired the system up with the excellent, five-star Pro-Ject Debut Pro turntable. While the peppy character remains the same, it doesn’t sound as clear, precise or expressive compared with the other inputs. You can still sing along to the record, but the quality when streaming through wi-fi is far superior. AIO, ενώνοντας την σπουδαία hi-fi κληρονομιά της με τις σύγχρονες απαιτήσεις ηχοκάλυψης στη ροή του ψηφιακού ήχου. You can also make custom names, so if I‌ wanted to call the speaker in my office “hifitrends,” that is possible.

Not only will you be able to play music over Wi-Fi but you’ll also get a number of wired options to choose from, as well as both Bluetooth and USB connectivity. That’s a lot more than you’d get elsewhere. AIO να τα «ανασύρουν» από τους σκληρούς δίσκους όσο και με το Foobar2000 να τα «σερβίρει». Η θετική αναλογική αίσθηση συνεχίστηκε με αυτή τη σύνδεση, με τον ήχο να είναι γεμάτος, απαλός και καθαρός και με την ανάλυση να δείχνει επαρκής, αν και χωρίς σπουδαία διακριτική ικανότητα ανάμεσα στα hi-res αρχεία και αυτά του red book.Once you connect the devices to your network, they will appear in the app, and you can assign names to each one. For example, I had one AIO‌ 3 in the bedroom, so I used the preset name “Bedroom,” then I placed the second AIO‌ 3 in my office, so I used the preset name “Office.” The AIO‌ C streamer was in the living room, so I‌ , of course, used the preset name “Living Room.” Triangle Electroacoustique is once again going all out with the Triangle AIO Multiroom Audio Streaming System, presenting the new Triangle AIO 3 Limited Edition Spring 2022 in Powder Pink, Frosted White, Forest Green and Ocher Red. The AIO Twin can be used as part of a multi-room setup, using Linkplay technology, to allow enjoyment in several rooms around the home. For this review I contented myself with the speakers either side of my TV with an optical/SPDIF connection between the two. This proved most satisfactory. Access a wide choice of streaming services from your smartphone or tablet using the free “Triangle AIO” app, available on the App Store or Google Play Store. You can also access the music stored on your devices or your home network.

The colourway for this review sample is Green Forest, its midriff wrapped in a fabric from Scandinavian outfitters Gabriel that covers the internal wooden housing. On top and at the bottom is a brushed aluminium material in champagne gold, and when the light shines it gives the speaker a pleasing golden glow. Unlike some of the more out there designs such as the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin, the AIO3 is fundamentally a rectangular box, but it’s an elegant one.At the base of each speaker is a pair of aluminium feet with rubber pads at each end to provide some isolation between the cabinet and whatever it’s placed upon, however the pads slot into the feet rather insecurely and can easily work loose to be potentially lost. Undoubtedly a premium option, the Triangle AIO3 (2022) combines huge sound with elegant good looks, and it’ll fit right in with any home decor even though you will need a relatively large spot to keep it in. Triangle Electroacoustique explicitly points out that the Triangle AIO 3 is based on the virtues of classic loudspeaker design, such as a discrete crossover, which, according to the manufacturer, guarantees the best results even in this product class. After you put several AIO devices (up to 5 using Wi-Fi)‌ in the app, then you can play different sources to each one, or the same source to all of them. You can also have two speakers in the same room and separate the left and right channels between them to make a stereo pair.

Listening to AIO‌ 3 was a pleasant surprise. I haven’t heard too many standalone Wi-Fi speakers that impressed me. Usually, they sound washed out, and the bass is kinda tubby. But not this speaker. The sound was mid centric just like I‌ like it, and the bass while not super articulate, was deep and pronounced enough to fill out the rhythm. The silence needed to give a dramatic effect when the interplay of instruments stops abruptly isn’t wholly recreated, but it’s a relatively minor issue in an otherwise pleasant overall performance. With excellent tonal balance across the entire frequency range, this speaker is dynamic and energetic. There’s lots of power behind the low end yet that doesn’t overwhelm the treble too much, which still manages to push through with a crisp edge, while the mids are portrayed with plenty of personality, although there could be slightly more emphasis there. Through the app, you can set up a multiroom system with other Triangle speakers but there’s no way of doing it through Google Home or Apple Home. What that means is that you can’t mix and match devices, you’ll need to buy a few of these or some of Triangle’s other Wi-Fi speakers to make use of multiroom. That also means you won’t be able to control this by voice using a separate smart speaker. AIO 3 κοστίζει όσο μια καλή ηχομπάρα, έχει αρκετές εισόδους, παίζει δυνατά και ξεχωρίζει για το στυλ του. Συνδυάζει τις απλές γραμμές με τα ποιοτικά υλικά, όπως ξύλο και αλουμίνιο, ενώ και το ύφασμα που το ντύνει δείχνει ξεχωριστό.USB σύνδεση, ίσως ήταν λίγο πιο ήσυχη από την ασύρματη, ενώ σε πολύ καλά επίπεδα διατηρήθηκε και η Bluetooth. Η δύναμη κρούσης του ΑΙΟ 3 είναι η διάφανη και απαλή μεσαία περιοχή, που αποδίδει με πολύ όμορφο τρόπο τις μεταβατικές ειδικά στις γυναικείες φωνές και σε απορροφά αμέσως στο πρόγραμμα. Music and configurations can all be set directly from a mobile or tablet, and up to 12x AIO devices can be linked at once. Wireless Connectivity Charlotte Lawrence’s vocals on Joke’s On You soar with emotion, her voice crystal clear in a pleasingly big and spacious soundfield. There’s ample power here too, giving a big power ballad plenty of welly when needed. For your streaming needs, the AIO Twin has built-in wi-fi and Bluetooth 5.0 with support for high-res codecs such as aptX HD as well as basic SBC and AAC. An ethernet port is also included for a more stable connection to your home network.

What you get from the AIO 3 is a ‘good plus’ sound, but for the money, the clientele, and the competition, ‘good plus’ is exceptional. the AIO 3’s main strength is its midband clarity and speed. This comes across best when playing something like ‘Come Down’ by Anderson .Paak [ Malibu, Empire]; his voice is usually somewhat swamped by the rest of the mix (in particular that insistent hi-hat and funky bass line), but here it’s pushed to the fore, very articulate, and rhythmic. Granted, the midrange clarity does cut through the mix because the top and bottom end of the music are more recessed here, but it also cuts through the innate compression slapped on that album. Often at this level of equipment, you hear the lose-lose of a curtailed frequency response with a muted midrange. The Triangle system works from the midband out, which is always a good sign in any system.The AIO application allows you to control and configure your AIO system directly from your mobile or tablet. The way Triangle has tried to compete is to push the ‘elegant’ angle, and push it hard. This is a product designed to be sold both in audio stores where people appreciate the finer things in sound, or in elegant department stores where people appreciate the finer things in life. Basically it sells to people because it looks good or sounds good, and occasionally because it both looks good and sounds good.
