Room-filling sound, timeless design:
Cambridge Audio Evo One wireless streaming speaker
9 August 2024: British music and audio pioneer Cambridge Audio is delighted to launch Evo One, a stunningly powerful, stylish wireless speaker that offers unrivalled performance, connectivity and versatility.
For the first time, you can fill your room with Cambridge’s signature sound – all from one product, impeccably designed by Red Dot Award-winning designer Ged Martin.
Evo One leverages the Hi-Res streaming intelligence and musicality of the Evo 75 and Evo 150 streaming amplifiers and channels that acclaimed performance through 14 perfectly tuned drivers and 700W of amplification to create a unique omnidirectional audio experience.
Evo One’s streaming capabilities, which allow users to listen seamlessly through virtually any music service, are enabled by Cambridge’s StreamMagic platform, which is also at the heart of its award-winning network players such as the CXN100 and MXN10.
“Our goal was distill “We’re combining our decades of sound and streaming expertise into a user-friendly one-box experience. Evo One achieves all of that and more. Aesthetically, sonically and functionally, it truly enhances any room and any occasion,” says Matt Dore, Chief Technical Officer at Cambridge Audio.
Evo One is the perfect all-in-one audio solution, offering a simple and beautiful way to enjoy your favorite music, movies and more.
ROOM-FILLING SOUND
An array of 14 drivers – 4 x 1″ silk dome tweeters, 4 x 2.25″ aluminum cone midrange drivers and 6 x 2.75″ long-throw woofers – surround the Evo One in front, side and rear-firing configurations to deliver phenomenally wide sound dispersion and a truly expansive soundstage. You don’t have to sit in an acoustic “sweet spot” like most wireless speakers do – with the Evo One, every seat in the room is treated to glorious sound.
Power is provided by a 700W Class D amplifier – 50W (RMS) per driver for fine control – while advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) enables perfect tuning of the Cambridge signature sound. The result is stunning clarity and deep, controlled bass that pushes the limits of the one-box form factor.
The StreamMagic control app allows the sound to be customized to the listener’s taste. A seven-band EQ lets you adjust the sound manually with amazing precision, and there are numerous presets available tailored to different music genres and TV scenarios. The app’s room optimization features allow you to manually adjust the sound to suit your individual living space.
Like all Cambridge products, Evo One was designed, tuned and engineered in our own London music venue and headquarters, Melomania, by the same passionate team behind our award-winning hi-fi gear.
EVERY LISTENING BASE COVERED
Evo One is based on the 4th generation of StreamMagic, Cambridge Audio’s industry-leading streaming platform for seamless, stable listening across a huge range of services and formats.
StreamMagic enables direct streaming of Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Deezer, Qobuz, Roon Ready, UPnP and Internet radio with support for high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/192kHz over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. As Cambridge owns and develops the StreamMagic platform itself, new features and services are added regularly to improve and extend its functionality.
For maximum wireless flexibility, Evo One offers Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and Google Cast options. To share music on devices throughout the home, Evo One is fully compatible with Google Home, Apple AirPlay and Roon multi-room systems.
Wired connectivity is also well covered. Thanks to HDMI eARC, the Evo One can be connected to a TV, forming the sound foundation of your home entertainment system. A moving magnet (MM) phono preamplifier enables direct connection of a hi-fi turntable, while a line input supplies other analog sources. An optical digital input and a USB-A media jack offer further digital options.
While all of Evo One’s features can be accessed via the StreamMagic app and the HDMI eARC connection allows easy volume control via a TV remote, a dedicated remote control is included to ensure absolute ease of use for everyone in the room.
All basics are covered.
Enviable design
Evo One offers more than just incredible sound; it’s a visual treat and a stylish addition to any home. Designed in London by Red Dot Award-winning designer Ged Martin, the minimalist, retro-modern aesthetic is both fresh and unmistakably part of the Evo family.
Clean lines, a timeless feel and an undeniable touch of luxury. Thanks to a beautifully patterned real walnut veneer, the top of each Evo One is unique.
Inspired by natural honeycomb shapes, the innovative grille construction protects the drivers while placing less mass in front of them to avoid obstructing the sound. This structure is then covered with acoustically transparent fabric that allows the music to fill the room unhindered.
The large 6.8-inch color screen continues the Evo One theme of unparalleled versatility, offering the choice of pure function or a touch of retro-chic style. Cycle through a clock display, album art and information about the current track, or enjoy the mesmerizing ticking of virtual VU meters.
Evo One also builds on Cambridge’s sustainability goals: all plastic parts are made from at least 50% recycled material, the casing is FSC-certified and the wood veneer is optimized. Power consumption is optimized.
This drive to create a more sustainable product builds on Cambridge’s support as a founding donor to eco-music charity EarthPercent, co-founded by the legendary Brian Eno.
Cambridge Audio Evo One will be available from launch from cambridgeaudio.com and approved retailers, priced at £1299/€1499/$1499.
