Cambridge Audio L/R Active Speaker Series: Crafted for Music, Perfect for Everyday Living

Experience the power and clarity of Cambridge Audio’s L/R active speakers, designed to bring immersive sound into any living space with style and sophistication.

A New Era of Sound Begins in London

Imagine stepping into your living room and being wrapped in sound so vivid, so alive, it feels like the musicians are performing just for you. That’s exactly the promise behind Cambridge Audio L/R Active Speaker Series speakers—a family of active stereo speakers crafted with passion, precision, and a deep love for music.

Unveiled in early 2026, the L/R Series isn’t just about audio quality; it’s about a lifestyle. Designed and meticulously tuned by the masterminds in London, this lineup features three distinct models built to suit any space, any listening preference: the powerful L/R X, the versatile L/R M, and the compact yet bold L/R S.

Style Meets Sound: Six Stunning Finishes

Before we dive into the technical wizardry, let’s talk aesthetics. Cambridge Audio knows that speakers are more than just sound machines—they’re part of your living environment. The L/R speakers come in six stunning finishes:

• Blue
• Green
• Orange
• Black
• White
• Real Walnut veneer (a luxurious touch for those who love classic elegance)

Each pair stands confidently on a signature “floating” base, lending a sleek and modern silhouette to any room. Plus, both the L/R X and L/R M flaunt subtle white underlighting, with adjustable warmth and brightness to match your mood or décor.

L/R X – The Flagship You Can Feel

If the L/R Series had a rockstar, it would be the L/R X. This powerhouse delivers a jaw-dropping 400 watts per speaker, totaling a phenomenal 800 watts—that’s literally about one horsepower in your living room!

Thanks to an advanced 2.5-way acoustic design, the L/R X draws the impressive depth and volume of a floorstander from a deceptively compact bookshelf form factor. The heart of the sound? The brand-new 28mm Torus Tweeter, twin woofers, and force-cancelling passive radiators. This combination gives you crystal-clear highs, rich mids, and deep, punchy lows that feel alive and immediate.

The L/R X also features a 64-bit audio pipeline alongside DynamEQ technology, which intelligently adjusts the sound to your room for perfect balance. Connectivity? You’re covered with StreamMagic Wi-Fi streaming for your favorite music apps, HDMI eARC to hook up your TV seamlessly, and even a built-in MM phono stage for vinyl lovers who want to spin their records with pristine clarity.

For a wireless touch, the L/R X uses WiSA HT technology, allowing seamless speaker-to-speaker communication without messy cables.

L/R M – Mid-Size Marvel with Massive Sound

If you love the idea of the L/R X but need something that fits a bit more snugly into your space, the L/R M is your match. It shares the same advanced 2.5-way acoustic design and the signature 28mm Torus Tweeter but swaps out the bigger woofers and radiators for slightly smaller, more compact drivers.

Despite its size, the L/R M still packs a punch with 300 watts of system power, making it perfect for those who want room-filling sound without sacrificing space. Like the flagship, it includes the excellent StreamMagic Wi-Fi streaming, HDMI eARC, and a built-in phono stage, so all your favorite listening options are at your fingertips.

And yes—adjustable LED underlighting is there to set the mood.

L/R S – Compact Speaker with Big Personality

For desks, shelves, or cozy rooms, the L/R S is a gem. It's the most compact of the lot but still delivers an impressive 100 watts of system power. Designed primarily with Bluetooth in mind (including aptX HD for high-quality wireless streaming), the L/R S is built to bring clarity and warmth to smaller spaces without compromise.

It features a 21mm hard-dome tweeter paired with a 3" long-throw woofer, plus smart placement-optimization controls to tailor the sound to your environment. Bonus: an optional tilt stand to get the perfect angle for your listening pleasure.
