Cambridge speakers

Cambridge not the city – Having rebranded to Cambridge without the Audio, more novelty from the electronics brand is their new range of active loudspeakers in six colourways so gloss white, blue, green, yellow, black and Walnut veneer. The smallest of the three models is the shown L/R S [€499/pr, veneer adds €50], a classic rear-ported 3-inch 2-way in master/slave config but with still individual amps per driver. Two toggle switches handle bass tuning and the remote adds access to three response curves for normal, movie and voice. Connectivity is over aptX HD wireless or USB-C, Toslink and RCA analog. A sub output offers extra bass fun. The connection between the left/right channel speakers is via 4-pole 2m cable. A 5m option is coming. Claimed response is -3dB/55Hz and there's an optional ABS desktop wedge to tilt the speaker back but no networking. For those who want bigger and networking, the LR/ M [€1'300/pr] grows the mid/woofer to two 4" units (one down-firing) and adds lateral 4.75" passive radiators with a 5m USB-C to USB-C cable connection for 40Hz reach, the L/R X [€1'999/pr] grows the lot to twin 5" and twin 6" respectively whilst claiming -3dB/35Hz. Both bigger models offer a touch-panel strip on the top.
