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.
Series overview
Our nuBoxx active series has integrated power amplifiers, with which the speakers are immediately "Ready to Use". We develop them in the tradition of our company: the best possible detail for music. This results in the best sound for movies, games and TV shows. For more low end, we have the nuSub-Series subwoofers in the range, which provide even more bass.

Furthermore, it must also be handed over to possible re-owners.
Intended Use
This speaker is designed exclusively for sound reproduction in dry rooms. Use the speaker only as described in this manual. Any other use (particularly safety-relevant or medical use, installation in open environment like IP-certified products) is considered improper and may result in property damage or even personal injury. Nubert electronic GmbH does not assume any liability for damages caused by improper use.
General Information
- Never operate the loudspeaker unattended!
Danger of Electric Shock!
To avoid the risk of electric shock, the speaker may not be opened by the user. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the speaker. Service work and repairs are reserved for qualified specialists authorized by Nubert. If you need service, please contact Nubert electronic GmbH directly (info@nubert.de)!
Danger of Suffocation!
Never let children use or play with the speaker, remote control, or packaging unattended. There is a risk that children will get caught in the packaging film and suffocate. Make sure that children cannot remove any small parts from the devices! These parts, like the remote control battery, could be swallowed and cause suffocation. In case of swallowing any parts, contact a doctor immediately!
Danger of Injury or Damage!
When moving the speaker, take care to avoid injury and damage!
Caution!
Since the speaker can only be completely disconnected from the mains at the mains input on the rear of the unit or by pulling the mains plug from the socket, it must be positioned so that you have free access to the mains input or mains plug. If any of the following situations occurs, the loudspeaker must be switched off immediately and disconnected from the mains. Contact Nubert electronic GmbH (info@nubert.de) immediately!
- The speaker has been damaged or has fallen down.
- Power cord or plug is damaged.
- Objects or liquid did get into the loudspeaker.
- The speaker has been exposed to excessive moisture or rain.
- The speaker does not work properly or exhibits a significant reduction in performance.
- The loudspeaker smells burnt, develops smoke, or makes unusual noises.
Only use accessories recommended by Nubert!
Installation Instructions
Caution!
An unstable location can damage the speaker.
- Only place the loudspeaker on a flat, stable surface and make sure that it cannot be knocked over!
- Also make sure that no unintentional pulling can occur on the cables to avoid knocking over the speaker or damaging the connection sockets!
- Keep strong mechanical shocks away from the loudspeaker!
Caution!
Excessive heat build-up inside the unit can shorten its service life or lead to fire.
- Never cover the back of the speaker! Make sure that there is a clearance of at least 10 cm and sufficient air circulation in the back area!

- No objects or foreign bodies may get into the device.
Should the loudspeaker come into contact with liquids or should objects have got inside, please unplug the mains plug immediately and contact Nubert electronic GmbH!
Danger of Injury or Damage!
For speakers with threaded bushings on the underside:
- The threaded bushings may be used for upright mounting of the loudspeaker on suitable base plates only.
- The threaded bushings on the underside of the loudspeaker enclosures are not designed for tensile loads and must therefore not be used as holders for hooks or similar devices in order to suspend the loudspeaker cabinet.
- A falling speaker may cause serious injury and damage.
Connection Instructions
General Connection Instructions
- Disconnect the mains plug before changing any wiring on the system!
- Make sure that all connections have been made correctly and that all plugs are firmly seated in the sockets before connecting the speaker to the mains.
- Use only the intended cables or plug connections for the connections! Failure to do so may result in damage or malfunction.
- If you want to disconnect connections on the loudspeaker, always pull the plug, never the cable!
- Ensure that all plugs are firmly seated in the sockets!
- Only use cables and accessories recommended by Nubert!
Danger of Electric Shock!
- Faulty mains supply systems or excessive mains voltage can lead to electric shocks.
- All power supply or antenna systems connected to the loudspeaker must comply with all applicable laws and regulations and be professionally installed by an approved installation company.
- Use only the appropriate power cord to connect the speaker. Do not modify the power cord or its plug.
- Make sure that the mains voltage at your location matches the requirements of the loudspeaker! The correct power supply can be found on the label on the back of the speaker. It must not be connected to other power supplies.

- Before recommissioning, make sure that all connections are correct, that there are no short circuits, and that the speaker is completely dry.
- Never use strong cleaning agents or solvents such as petrol, spirit, or similar!
Enclosure
We recommend commercial window cleaner sprayed onto a cotton cloth. This allows almost all fingerprints and dust to be easily removed. Alternatively, you can also use window active foam. We advise against the use of microfibre cloths! These can cause mini scratches in the surface.
Diaphragms and Speaker Chassis
To remove dust from a loudspeaker chassis, a lint-free cotton cloth is sufficient to wipe the membrane lightly with very little pressure. The tweeters of all Nubert loudspeakers are equipped with a protective grille, so they can also be wiped off with low pressure. If the dust cannot be completely removed, a make-up brush from the drugstore is suitable.

Wundervoller Klang
Ich habe die Lautsprecher als Ersatz einer Logitech 2.1 Anlage für meinen PC gekauft. Da ich jetzt schon seit einiger Zeit die nuPro AS-3500 besitze und total von ihr begeistert bin, war für mich klar, das ich für meinen PC zum Zocken, Musikhören etc. unbedingt etwas von Nubert brauche. Und da Habe ich mich Preislich und Größen Technisch für diese Boxen entschieden. Und diese Entscheidung war Goldrichtig. Die Boxen haben einen sehr schönen und klaren Klang, so wie ich es noch nie bei PC Lautsprechern gehört habe. Ich bin Absolut begeistert und kann Sie nur weiterempfehlen.

völlig unterbewertet
sind das noch PC-Lautsprecher oder schon ein vollwertiges Stereo-Aktivset für mittlere Wohnzimmer? Die Frage ist ernst gemeint? Meine B&W 703 S3 an einem Denon Receiver können den 125er nicht mehr das Wasser reichen - bis zu einer gewissen Lautstärke natürlich. Aber wer hört denn so oft lauter, dass die 125er nicht mehr mithalten können? Bis zu ihrem Lautstärkebereich machen sie einen Job, wo gute Passivlautsprecher ins Schwitzen kommen. Der Hub der Tief-Mitteltöner ist enorm und zaubert eine enorme und saubere Tiefenstaffelung auf die Bühne, Bass trocken und konturiert. Die Höhen ebenfalls nubert-typisch sauber und feinauflösend. In diesem Preissegment kann die Konkurrenz einpacken. Wirklich.

Wahnsinniger Klang, hat mich überrascht
Ich hatte vorher bereits Studiomonitore am PC (UVP knapp unter 200 € vor einigen Jahren) und Dank eines nuBoxx-Surround-Systems am TV weiß ich wie gut z.B. Musik auf gescheiten Boxen klingen kann. Einen Vergleich zwischen den Studiomonitoren und den Nuboxx 511 habe ich direkt nie gemacht, weil das Ergebnis klar gewesen wäre. Mit dem Klang der Studiomonitore war ich soweit zufrieden für ab und zu mal Musik hören und Computerspiele. Ich hatte jetzt Lust mal die nuBoxx A-125 pro zu bestellen und dachte mir dabei aber, dass ich eigentlich etwas bescheuert bin, weil ich 400 € für PC Boxen ausgebe und vermutlich nicht mal den Unterschied höre. ;) Pustekuchen! Der Klang ist um Welten besser. Viel detaillierter und klarer. Der Kauf hat sich definitiv gelohnt. Sowohl bei Musik als auch in Spielen ist der Unterschied klar und deutlich hörbar. Ebenfalls überraschend ist der Tiefgang. Die Boxen haben einen deutliche hörbaren Bass. Für Musik und Spiele braucht man meiner Meinung nach keinen Subwoofer zu diesen Boxen. Die drücken mehr als genug und deutlich mehr als man bei der Größe erwarten würde. Für mich hat sich der Kauf definitiv gelohnt. Ja, sie sind für PC Boxen echt teuer - aber der Klang ist sehr gut. Klare Kaufempfehlung, wenn man auf guten Sound Wert legt.

Beeindruckend!
Ich hatte auch vorher Aktivboxen von Nubert an meinem PC, nuPro A10, also eine der Ersten von vor ca. 15 Jahren. Die waren in die Jahre gekommen und optisch sehr mitgenommen. Auch fehlte mir mittlerweile der Komfort einer Fernbedienung. Aber ich war skeptisch, mit den neuen nuBoxx A-125pro, besonders weil sie z.T. foliert sind. Das finde ich bei dem Preis zwar völlig in Ordnung aber auf dem Schreibtisch sind sie ja sehr präsent und sie sollten schon auch gut aussehen. Am Ende muss ich sagen, ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Sauber verarbeitet und und in keiner Weise billig sehen sie aus. Nach dem Anschließen war ich zudem vom Klang wirklich überrascht. Was aus den kleinen Dingern herauskommt.... Klar, bei höheren Lautstärken kommen sie irgendwann an ihre Grenzen, aber da muss man es schon wirklich sehr weit treiben. Ich schließe den Beitrag mit dem Titel der Bewertung. Ich bin beeindruckt!

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.
