The comprehensive equipment with bass control, wide sound and the Nubert sound balance speaks for itself, as does the long-term stable workmanship. A high-quality remote control is also included in the scope of delivery.
PC acoustician
Our pair of nuBoxx A-125 pro is quickly connected to the PC or notebook via USB-C. Thanks to their compact dimensions, only a small footprint is required. And thanks to genuine two-way technology and the ample power of the built-in amplifiers, every signal from the PC is brought to life with vigor.
Stereo? Take courage!
Anyone who thinks that such small speakers cannot offer a good stereo stage for music reproduction is completely mistaken. Nubert's many years of experience also pay off with the nuBoxx A-125 pro. Carefully tuned drivers, powerful DSP processing and an unshakeably stable cabinet ensure full, cultivated sound.
Low-frequency extension
Those who can never get enough of low frequencies will be delighted with the pre-out for the direct cable-based connection of an active subwoofer from our nuSub range. Here, bass experts will find high-tech features such as automatic calibration of the range between 20 and 160 Hz.
Matching the TV
Our nuBoxx A-125 pro cut no less of a figure in the smaller living room. The small acoustic aces are quickly connected to the TV via an optical digital cable. Then the underpowered TV sound system has a break and the nuBoxx A-125 pro take over the mission with high sound quality and enormous level stability.
Details
Remote control
The supplied remote control with metal surface is ergonomically shaped, clearly arranged and of high quality. It provides instant access to all inputs, the volume level, the DSP modes, the sound control and a Bluetooth pairing button to connect the smartphone.
DSP modes
We have integrated the DSP modes Music and Movie to realize an intense, captivating sound without any disturbing "artificial" aftertaste.
Tone control
The nuBoxx A-125 pro has a tone control for bass, mid-range and treble, which work independently of each other. This allows you to adapt the piece to your individual taste. Your advantage: music becomes a real pleasure.
USB-C DAC
We have integrated a modern DAC that receives signals directly and sends them to the DSP. The USB-C connection is the current standard and offers a reliable, contact-safe connection. Your advantage: future-proof and simple, stable connection.
Colors
With our black and white color options, you have the choice: a modern two-tone look or a classic solid color in your living room. The body is coated with a durable and easy-to-clean foil surface, while the front has an elaborate lacquer finish. The color-coordinated fabric cover gives the speakers an elegant appearance.
Design
The clear design makes our nuBoxx models timelessly elegant loudspeakers in the tradition of the classic Bauhaus style. The simple attachment of the cover using magnets also follows this school, so that your speaker is optimally protected and the appearance is flawless at the same time. The acoustically permeable fabric ensures unadulterated sound.

GROSSE kleine Alleskönner
Wir besitzen diese kleinen Alleskönner schon länger; vor kurzem habe ich den Beiden einen Aktiv-Subwoofer zur Seite gestellt - mit frappierender Wirkung: Die Beiden spielen nunmehr noch klarer und deutlicher - und neutraler - als sie es ohnehin schon taten; doch nach dem Anschluss des Subwoofers klingen sie, als hätte man von ihren Systemen Watte entfernt... Dazu kommt nun der schöne Tiefbass eines aktiven Subwoofers, und fertig ist der Sound wie von großen Standboxen in unserem Esszimmer, der aber nach wie vor weiterhin von den beiden Kleinen stammt mithilfe des versteckt platzierten Subwoofers... Klasse und nach wie vor absolute Kaufempfehlung!!! *****

9.8 von 10 möglichen Punkten
Gute 400€ mögen den einen oder anderen potentiellen Interessenten vielleicht zunächst abschrecken, sobald man aber in die Details geht, relativiert sich das sehr schnell wieder. Ich wollte kompakte weiße Lautsprecher für meinen PC haben, schaute mich intensiv auf dem Markt um und da gibt es gar nicht so viele Alternativen. Eine sind z.B. die neuen Yamaha HS4 für ca. 280€, welche ich auch getestet habe. Diese besitzen jedoch keinen DAC, was nochmal mit mindestes 100€ zusätzlich zu Buche schlägt und selbst dann hat man noch keine Fernbedienung oder z.B. Bluetooth. Auch sind die Yamaha, gerade im unterem Bereich, doch deutlich schwächer auf der Brust und über die Lautsprecherklemmen, die man sonst nur von "90er Jahre Kompaktanlagen" aus dem Versandkatalog kennt, müssen wir gar nicht erst sprechen. Schaut euch einfach mal die Verbindungskabel der A-125 pro an und ihr ahnt, wo die Reise qualitativ insgesamt hingeht. Thema Qualität: Die Fernbedienung. Ich hatte noch eine, die sich derart hochwertig anfühlt und so "schwer" ist. Auch das kleine "Rubber-Pad" auf der Unterseite, welches die Fernbedienung vorm Verrutschen und den Tisch vor Kratzen schützt, habe ich so noch nicht gesehen. Zum Klang möchte ich nicht viel sagen, da dieser letztendlich immer auch von persönlichen Präferenzen anhängig ist. Ich bin aber wirklich überrascht, was die kleinen Nuberts, besonders im Bassbereich, zu leisten im Stande sind. Die beiden EQ-Modi hätte es für nicht benötigt aber am Ende des Tages ist Haben ist besser ist Brauchen. Für die nächste Revision hätte ich folgende Verbesserungsvorschläge oder vielleicht ginge da ja sogar etwas per FW-Update - liebes Nubert Team? - Möglichkeit die LED über die Fernbedienung zu deaktivieren. - Schnelles/mehrfaches Blinken der LED, wenn die maximale Bass/Mid-High Einstellung erreicht ist. - Das USB-Kabel hätte gerne 50cm länger sein dürfen. Gerade, wenn der PC unter dem Tisch steht, kann es hier unter Umständen knapp werden. Hervorheben möchte ich noch den Service. Bei meiner Bestellung hatte ich vergessen die Postnummer anzugeben, weshalb das Paket nicht an die Packstation zugestellt werden konnte und retour ging. Kurze Mail an den Support und obwohl das Paket noch auf dem Weg zurück war, wurde sofort eine neue Lieferung veranlasst. TOP! Kurzum: Ich bin jetzt Nubert Fan.

Perfekt
Ich wollte ein neues 2.1 System für mein PC Setup und bin während meiner Recherche auf die Nubert nuboxx A-125pro und den passenden Subwoofer dazu den nuSub XW-700 gestoßen. Also am 12.12 bestellt bei Nubert auf der Homepage und prompt am nächsten Tag war es bei mir zuhause. Schon mal ein dickes Lob an das Nubert Team im schönen Schwäbisch Gmünd. Danach wurde gleich alles ausgepackt und aufgebaut, per USB an den PC angeschlossen und Probe gehört. Da es draußen relativ kalt war mussten sich die Boxen erst ein wenig warmlaufen, was normal ist. Habe mir zusätzlich noch den XRC Android Interface dazu bestellt zum einrichten des Subwoofer Frequenz Gangs. Was ich noch machen muss da meine bestellten Akustikplatten noch nicht angekommen sind, daher wurde jetzt alles erstmal so eingerichtet. So jetzt zum Klang des noch nicht ganz fertigen Setups. Genau so wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe schöne Höhen und Mitten, tiefer Bass der trotz des Downfire Prinzips schön präzise ist und trotzdem ein gewaltiges Volumen hat. Ich bin mit dem Setup rundum zufrieden und kann es nur jedem wärmstens empfehlen der sich ein 2.1 System zulegen will egal ob jetzt fürs Musik hören, Film schauen oder fürs Gaming. Die Nubert Produkte sind Spitzenklasse!!!! Ich möchte nochmals mein Lob an das gesamte Nubert Team aussprechen, sei es jetzt die super schnelle Logistik oder die Ingenieure in der Entwicklung oder die Arbeiter in der Produktion. Ihr seit Mega, beide Daumen hoch!!!! Schöne Grüße aus Baden

Klanglich, preislich eine Wucht. Verarbeitungsqualität verbesserungswürdig.
Sie sind wunderbar klein, schnörkellos im Design, zeitlos und insbesondere in weiss mit der eisgrauen Stoffblende absolut wohnraumtauglich (in meinem Falle schlafzimmertauglich). Es ist erstaunlich welchen Tiefgang und Druck diese kleinen Lautsprecher erzeugen können, gerade auch in niedriger Lautstärke. Die Mitten sind angenehm und nicht nervig. Die Höhen sauber und luftig. Bei gutem Quellmaterial einfach ein Genuss, eben ein ehrlicher Lautsprecher! :-) Weiterhin positiv erwähnen möchte ich die Fernbedienung, sie liegt wunderbar in der Hand, die Tasten haben einen guten Druckpunkt und die Metalloberfläche sowie das Gewicht wirken wertig. Als verbesserungswürdig sehe ich bei meinen Exemplaren leider die Verarbeitung des Master Lautsprechers an. Die Folierung ist beim Übergang von der Seiten und Oberseite hin zur Rückwand ziemlich unsauber. Was mich auch stört an der Masterbox, die Schraubenköpfe am Verstärkermodul sind werkseitig nicht plan eingeschraubt sondern teilweise recht "krumm". Da ich diese Mängel im Alltag nicht sehe behalte ich diese Lautsprecher weil sie einfach nur toll klingen und ein Top Preis-/Leitungsverhältnis haben.

Box type, sound and recommended use
If you want maximum sound quality in the smallest possible space, if you value a wide range of connection and application options, if you don't want to miss out on useful sound settings, but want them to be as easy to operate as possible - in other words, if you're looking for the best possible compact active speakers at an affordable price, then you'll find them in the nuBoxx A-125 pro.
The speaker duo, specially designed for paired operation, offers everything that distinguishes a modern stereo system - you just connect the appropriate player. This can be your smartphone or tablet, which connect wirelessly via Bluetooth, thanks to support for aptX HD and AAC with excellent transmission quality. Or even a laptop or desktop computer, the speakers then act as a high-resolution USB sound card (up to 192 kHz/24 bit). Last but not least, a traditional hi-fi device like a CD or network player. With no less than five analog, digital and wireless inputs, the nuBoxx A-125 pro prove to be extremely sociable. Set up, connect, start - and enjoy!
When the music plays, the aha experience follows - small can sound that big? In view of the compact dimensions - the speakers take up hardly more space than a shoebox - the amazing low bass and bass pressure of the transducers is particularly amazing. If you like it even louder and deeper, simply add a subwoofer (tip: nuSub XW-700), but even from the factory, the tiny speakers play surprisingly mature. Thanks to extensive setting options, you can precisely adjust the sound to your personal taste, the sound material or the environment. In addition to a classic bass and treble/mid control, the sound modes Movie and Music offer two clever algorithms that expand the stereo panorama impressively far ("listening zone expansion"). All options are conveniently accessible via the included high-quality remote control.
The nuBoxx A-125 pro feel particularly at home on the desk, as a multimedia speaker for leisure use or even in a professional production environment. But they are just as at home on the kitchen cabinet, where they provide sophisticated music enjoyment, far above the level of the usual "background sound" of typical smart speakers. On the lowboard in the living room or on the shelf, they provide a small but fine stereo system that is ready to play at any time with the cell phone and Spotify, Tidal & Co. Thanks to the small footprint and the included three-meter link cable that connects both boxes, you can place the nuBoxx A-125 pro virtually anywhere.
So: If you want to enjoy music as simply as possible, make no compromises in terms of sound, but don't want to break the bank for it either, then by all means try the nuBoxx A-125 pro - thanks to the 30-day test guarantee, completely risk-free!
If you prefer an HDMI input instead of the USB port, you will find what you are looking for in our nuBox A-125.
Design principle and housing
As fully active two-way speakers, the nuBoxx A-125 pro house an active crossover as well as a total of four powerful digital amplifiers, each with 40 watts of music power for the high and low-mid ranges. The digital operating principle enables precise separation and equalization of the frequency paths, which accounts for the good low-frequency performance of the compact speakers.
The cabinets of both speakers are made of 19 millimeter thick medium-density fiberboard (MDF), which reliably reduces resonances and promotes a clean sound image. The oval bass reflex ports are located on the back of each of the two speakers. The cabinet body is equipped with a high-quality decorative foil in black or white, the baffle is painted satin black or white. The removable, magnetically adhering front cover is covered with optimally permeable acoustic fabric (light gray cover for the white version).
Chassis
The nuBoxx A-125 pro each employ a 118-millimeter woofer and a 25-millimeter tweeter. Both drivers were specially developed for the A-series speakers and feature impressive performance values for their size class. For example, the pair of active speakers owes its respectable lower cutoff frequency of 50 Hertz (at -3 decibels) to both precise DSP control and optimized long-throw woofers. And the textile dome tweeter is characterized by excellent omnidirectional sound distribution and particularly fine resolution.
Operation and setting options
The speakers of the nuBoxx A series are controlled with the included remote control. The buttons allow direct access to all important functions: Inputs, volume, listening zone expansion, tone control, stand-by, mute and Bluetooth pairing. A multicolored LED provides information about the operating status:
- Bluetooth: Blue
- Aux (analog): Green
- Optical (digital): Red
- Coax (digital): White
- USB: Purple
Thus, the active speakers permanently display the selected input. Received commands are acknowledged with a short flashing of the LED. In energy-saving mode, the light goes out. The nuBoxx A-125 pro have a switchable automatic switch-on function, with which they react to signals of the last selected input.
Tone control
The nuBoxx A-125 pro are neutrally tuned and output true-to-original two-channel sound at the factory. If a more effective reproduction is desired, pressing the "Movie" button on the remote control activates a special DSP circuit that increases the spatiality of the reproduction and makes the sound more vivid - ideal for movies and TV shows. The Music mode, on the other hand, is recommended for music playback. The effect expands the acoustic stage and immerses the listener even deeper into the sound experience. We call this "listening zone expansion". Pressing the respective keys again deactivates the effects.
Connections
The nuBoxx A-125 pro has five inputs, all located on the right speaker, which acts as the master speaker controlling the overall system. Available are an optical digital and an electrical digital input, a USB port, an analog stereo RCA connection and a Bluetooth receiver with aptX HD and AAC support for wireless connections. Thus, users enjoy almost free choice when it comes to the input player: From classic CD players, multimedia computers or game consoles to mobile multi-talents like smartphones or tablets, almost all modern media systems can be connected.
A sub output is available for connecting an external subwoofer. If this is used to set up a sub-sat system, the lower cut-off frequency of the nuBoxx A-125 pro is raised to 80 hertz, which increases the level reserves.
Energy
The nuBoxx A-125 pro are equipped with a convenient automatic energy-saving feature that switches the speakers on independently or puts them into power-saving standby mode when not in use. In this stand-by mode, which can also be activated manually via remote control, the speakers consume less than 0.5 watts. The wide-range power supply allows these active speakers to be used with mains voltages from 110/120 to 230/240 volts. The automatic stand-by function can be deactivated manually.
