Cambridge Audio EVO ONE

Cambridge Audio EVO ONE Wireless Speaker

The EVO ONE from Cambridge Audio is a multifunctional wireless speaker that combines elegant design, advanced features, and audio performance. This all-in-one speaker is designed to revolutionize the home listening experience by replacing both the hi-fi system and the living room soundbar.

Unmatched Audio Performance

At the heart of the Evo One is an impressive array of 14 speakers, meticulously crafted to deliver stunning clarity and deep, controlled bass. The speaker configuration consists of:

• 4 one-inch silk dome tweeters for crisp and detailed highs
• 4 2.25-inch aluminum cone midrange drivers for rich and natural vocals and instruments
• 6 2.75-inch long-throw woofers for powerful, distortion-free bass

This combination of speakers, paired with 700 watts of class D amplification, ensures that the Evo One fills every corner of your room with immersive, high-fidelity sound. Advanced digital signal processing (DSP) optimizes audio output, providing a wide soundstage and precise imaging.

Versatile Connectivity Options

The Evo One offers a plethora of connectivity options to meet all your music streaming needs. With built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth 5.1, and support for popular streaming services like Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Qobuz, and Internet radio, you can easily access your favorite tracks. The speaker is also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast, allowing seamless integration with your existing smart home ecosystem.

For those who prefer wired connections, the Evo One includes an HDMI eARC for enhanced TV sound, an optical digital input, and an auxiliary input. Vinyl enthusiasts will appreciate the built-in moving magnet phono preamp, which allows direct connection of turntables, even those without built-in preamps.

High-Resolution Audio Support

The Evo One is designed to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles, with support for high-resolution audio formats up to 32-bit/192 kHz. It can handle a wide range of audio codecs, including WAV, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, DSD (DSF and DFF), WMA, MP3, AAC, and OGG Vorbis. This ensures you can enjoy your music collection in its purest form, without compromising quality.

Intuitive Control and Customization

Controlling the Evo One is a breeze, thanks to the included remote control, front-mounted buttons, and the StreamMagic app. The app allows you to customize your listening experience with a 7-band equalizer, room optimization settings, and pre-built presets. The speaker also features a vibrant 6.8-inch color display that can show album artwork, track information, or even a pair of virtual VU meters for a nostalgic touch.

Exquisite Design and Craftsmanship

The Evo One is not just a sound hub; it’s also a work of art. Designed in London by Red Dot award winner Ged Martin, the speaker boasts a high-end contemporary aesthetic that complements any living space. The casing is made from high-quality, sustainable materials, including FSC-certified walnut and aluminum. The natural wood grain ensures that each Evo One is truly unique.

The speaker grille, inspired by honeycomb formations, not only protects the drivers but also ensures that music is delivered cleanly and without distortion. The dark gray, acoustically transparent fabric perfectly complements the warm, earthy tones of the walnut top, creating a visually striking and harmonious design.
