Shelf Speaker Cambridge SX-50

The SX50 are compact hi-fi speakers specifically designed to fit perfectly into confined spaces, such as bookshelves. Despite their modest size, these speakers deliver powerful, detailed, and rich stereo sound, making them ideal for filling small rooms with music as it was meant to be heard. The combination of high-quality engineering and exceptional value makes the SX50 an excellent choice for audiophiles who seek superior sound in a compact form factor.

The engineering excellence of the SX50 begins with the cabinet. Advanced Computer-Aided Design (CAD) was extensively used to optimize the internal structure of the speakers, ensuring that while the drivers are in motion, the cabinet remains stable. This precision ensures that every movement of the drivers is directed towards the listener, maximizing sound clarity and impact.

The SX50 features a 135mm (5.25”) woofer made from treated paper and a 25mm (1”) soft dome tweeter made from treated silk. The treated paper woofer offers an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, delivering rich, well-defined bass and midrange tones with natural tonality. Meanwhile, the soft dome tweeter handles the high frequencies, providing balanced and refined treble that complements the overall sound profile.

The crossovers in the SX50 were meticulously designed by the engineering team in London. These crossovers are crucial for directing the correct frequencies to each driver, ensuring phase linearity across the frequency range. This attention to detail results in precise stereo imaging and an overall sound that is engaging, energetic, and accurate.

The design of the SX50 also includes a rear bass reflex port, allowing users to fine-tune the low frequencies by adjusting the speaker’s proximity to the wall. Additionally, the high-quality binding posts accommodate thick cables with or without banana plugs, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.

Visually, the SX50 features a modern and understated design, allowing them to seamlessly blend into any environment.
