Cambridge Audio’s latest speaker does wireless music streaming and much more.
Cambridge Audio’s new Evo One wireless streaming music speaker is a 15-driver beast that has more in common with most high-end soundbars. It’s available starting August 9 for $1,500.
The Evo One is eye-catching in the best possible way, with a wood veneer top and a 6.8-inch color screen, which makes it a larger sibling to the Evo 150 streaming integrated amplifier. It may be challenging to find the right spot for it, however. At 26.6 inches wide and 11.4 inches deep, it’s going to require a fair amount of space. And at 32 pounds, with its own built-in plinth-style stand, you won’t be wall-mounting it. It comes with its own dedicated remote.
Behind its fabric grilles lies a huge array of 15 drivers powered with up to 50 watts of class D amplification per unit. There are four 1-inch tweeters, four 2.25-inch mid-range drivers, and six 2.75-inch long-throw woofers. Six of those drivers are front-facing, but there are also three drivers on each wing, plus two of the woofers are oriented out the rear of the speaker.
