1. An audio reproduction device comprising:
a user interface comprising at least one wheel device which is rotatable clockwise or counterclockwise according to a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation input to rotate the at least one wheel device clockwise or counterclockwise;
a lighting unit comprising a plurality of lights;
a speaker; and
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
obtain an audio signal which is received through a wireless communication interface from an external device,
receive the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation input that is performed through the user interface rotating the at least one wheel device clockwise or counterclockwise,
process the audio signal by adding a disc jockey (DJ) effect such that the DJ effect is applied in association with the audio signal for sound presentation and control the lighting unit to adjust at least one of color or brightness of light emitted from at least one of the plurality of lights of the lighting unit based on the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation input being a first clockwise or counterclockwise rotation input received through the at least one wheel device,
