Review:
A classy compact speaker
I think this is a little bit of class. Audio Dynamix sent me a Fusion V3 for review,
and I'm really impressed: for its size and price it is excellent.
This first thing to strike you is that it is beautifully
presented. The box is stylish, there's a
ribbon to help you to remove the speaker, the leads and even the manual are
nicely wrapped in boxes of their own, and so on. It just looks really classy, as does the
speaker itself, which is a lovely object.
It is nicely proportioned, has a very neat robust aluminium casing and a
simple, stylish grille. The controls on
the top are on a circular, brushed steel panel which looks really good – the
whole thing is just really well made and looks good.
In use, it all works very well. Bluetooth pairing is simple
both conventionally and using NFC, and the signal is solid up to 10 metres at
least. The AUX input allows you to connected to non-Bluetooth devices, and the
sound is equally good whichever connection you use.
The sound quality itself is very good. The top and middles are very crisp and well-defined, and the bass is good and firm. The overall sound is very nice (especially after the first few hours use, when it improves noticeably). I have tried this with a lot of music, including my Test Playlist which I use on all audio products for a fair comparison, which begins with Tudor Choral music and ends up with London Grammar. Everything comes over well. Classical music sounds rich and full, with a string quartet sounding well balanced and orchestral music rich and crisply articulated. Rock is good and punchy, acoustic music sounds bright and airy...and so on. The bass response especially is critical in a small unit like this, and I think it's very good especially when resting on a solid surface, where you can feel a gratifying bass vibration through it.

Audio Dynamix are developing a well-deserved reputation for really good quality speakers, and this is an example of why. It's beautifully designed, it seems very durable, it works well and for such a compact unit it has excellent sound. If you're looking for a compact speaker, I don't think you can do better for under forty quid; this is a classy unit and very warmly recommended.
