When it comes to portable speakers, I guess you can say that this particular segment of the market has grown tremendously over the years simply because of a greater degree of mobile device adoption among the masses, not to mention better battery technology which naturally results in superior battery life, in addition to the advancement and proliferation of Bluetooth capability embedded in just about every modern day mobile device like smartphones and tablets. Having said that, the portable wireless speakers of today are what boomboxes were to a previous, bygone era, and Cambridge Audio intends to usher in a new reign of such portable wireless speakers by announcing the availability of the Minx Go.

The Minx Go is a high performance, portable Bluetooth speaker that is capable of delivering deeply expansive, crystal clear audio. Similar to other Cambridge Audio product, the Minx Go will carry the company’s design DNA thanks to their design team who are based in London. The Minx Go will come acoustically loaded with an array of five premium quality speakers as well as the latest Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology, ensuring that your ears will always be treated to massive power at all times, without taking up too much space no matter where you are. What would most probably be the most impressive feat of the Minx Go would be the amount of detailed bass that it is capable of pumping out, and this is made possible thanks to the Bass Radiator that has been neatly integrated into the rear panel.

Just how long can the Minx Go last? Well, it boasts a battery life of up to 18 hours, which is lengthy enough for an entire day out, even stretching into the wee hours of the night. From a flat battery, it takes just a couple of hours to juice up fully, and while it is being recharged, it will even allow you to charge a tablet or phone thanks to the integrated USB charging port. You will be able to choose from high gloss black or white colors for the $149 Minx Go.

Ah, here we are with yet another two wireless speaker systems from the folks over at Cambridge Audio, where they have just announced the Minx Air 100 and Minx Air 200 wireless speaker systems for the masses. The adage of not judging a book by its cover would apply beautifully with these Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100 and 200 wireless speaker systems, where their diminutive size belies the fact that they can deliver powerful audio without missing a beat. In fact, this would mark the first time a Hi-Fi wireless speaker would carry integrated AirPlay, Bluetooth, and built-in Internet Radio connectivity, now how about that?

Thanks to the vast Hi-Fi expertise that the folks over at Cambridge Audio have, they claim that the audio quality which comes out from these two speakers are simply stunning. The Minx Air 100 and 200 have been specially designed to deliver maximum possible detail from stored tracks and streaming services. Thanks to the patented BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) speakers, your ears will be able to enjoy a rich sound which is more room-filling compared to similar-sized traditional speakers. BMR’s unique, hybrid design of pistonic and flat panel technology guarantees that you no longer need to look for the “sweet spot” in order to enjoy your music. Apart from that, there is a custom-developed digital amplifier that guarantees heart-thumping performance, even if you decide to crank up the volume.

Both Minx Air wireless speaker systems also boast of sophisticated Digital Signal Processing (DSP) that relies on advanced algorithms which were specially developed for music and movie production by Waves Audio. This would enable Cambridge Audio to obtain the biggest sound possible from Minx Air’s compact enclosure, at the same time delivering an experience which is louder, crisper and fuller compared to other portable systems that are in the market.

The Minx Air 100 is perfect for small spaces such as kitchens, bedrooms and living spaces, as it packs a 100W punch of power from a cabinet which measures just 14” wide. As for the Minx Air 200, it is more than capable of filling the largest rooms with crystal clear audio, thanks to a 200W set of digital amplifiers alongside a built-in active 6.5” subwoofer that delivers a supercharged audio experience which measures a mere 18” wide.

When it comes to quality audio systems, regardless of whether it is at home or somewhere else, you know for sure that the name Bang & Olufsen is synonymous with quality and clarity, and there are no two ways about it. Well, it seems that the folks over at Bang & Olufsen have done it again, this time around with the delicious sounding BeoLab 14 surround sound speaker system, which also ushers in an entirely new category of speakers to the Bang & Olufsen family of devices.

The BeoLab 14 surround speaker system is said to be able to revolutionize the marketplace, where it would come across as a conveniently packaged, all-inclusive solution which delivers compact aesthetics, exceptional audio quality and a high-end surround sound performance. The BeoLab 14 will come in a 4.1 or a 5.1 digital surround sound set up, where you will get up to half a dozen individual active speakers, where each of them has its own amplifier, resulting in an unprecedented level of sound quality, never mind that the speakers themselves come in such a compact form factor. Not only that, the BeoLab 14 is also said to be able to play nice with the slew of other TV brands, making it non- exclusive to just Bang & Olufsen televisions alone, now how about that?

The BeoLab 14 is said to continue from its predecessors’ successes, where stunning performance is still delivered despite coming in a compact form factor. The satellite speakers on the BeoLab 14 happen to feature diminutive circles of anodized aluminum with exchangeable fabric covers in a range of colors (white, black, silver, dark grey, red and petroleum blue), where they can be easily integrated into even the most stringent interior design schemes. Not only that, the sculptural subwoofer holds separate amplifiers for all speakers in the system, which should allow it to pump up the bass volume from a beguilingly slender footprint. The new BeoLab 14 surround sound speaker system will cost $3,995 and $4,395 for the 4.1 solution and 5.1 solution, respectively.
