DESIGNED FOR SOUND, THE CAMBRIDGE WAY

Our Air 200 design team has over 45 years’ experience in audio innovation and sound so the 200’s design benefits from all this expertise. The rigid exterior is essential for a portable product, but inside an acoustically damped cabinet eliminates vibration and distortion.

We’ve also taken technologies that we use on our most advanced speakers and incorporated them into the Air 200. We use BMR drivers which are found on our £1000 flagship Aeromax 6 floor standers, and there’s a bass port within the carry handle which helps produce heart thumping bass, just like on traditional loudspeakers.

BIG POWERFUL SOUND

The Air 200 offers the ultimate in power, volume and performance; it will pour deep and rich sound into your lounge, kitchen or bedroom effortlessly. The latest signal processing technologies are combined with a built-in subwoofer and a 200W digital amplifier for incredible detail and an unrivalled bass response - it's one of the loudest wireless speakers on the market. With so much power though we’ve included a bass level control on the back of the speaker (and on the remote) so you can get it just right for your preferences.

CONNECT TO ANYTHING

AirPlay – compatible with iPhone, iPad and iTunes.

AptX Bluetooth – 10 metre range for effortless streaming and AptX for even more detail and depth, up to CD quality.

SPOTIFY CONNECT

Use Spotify Connect with the Spotify app remote control. Spotify is built-in so you can still take calls or use other apps on your phone and the music never stops.

APP PLAYBACK AND INTERNET RADIO

Listen to popular services including Last.fm, Youtube or BBC iPlayer Radio. Just connect by Bluetooth or Airplay. Access to over 20,000 internet radio stations is also made possible from our free Air App where you can set 5 presets on the Air 100’s buttons so you can access your favourites without the need for your phone or tablet.

PATENTED BMR® TECHNOLOGY

Wider, room filling sound is possible thanks to our patented Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) speaker drivers. While regular speakers move in a pistonic motion (in and out) to create sound, the unique BMR drivers we use move both pistonically and horizontally to disperse sound more widely. For more info on BMR drivers you can read up on them here but basically they mean there’s no specific sweet spot in your room. Your music will just sound great wherever you are.

"The Minx Air 200 certainly attracts the ear, especially when chucking out tunes at maximum volume, which is very loud indeed."

Financial Times

United Kingdom, June 2013

"... this Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200 is, for me, the best one-box stereo ever... I used the handsome 200 for a few weeks in a hi-fi free New York apartment and it's the best argument I've heard (aside from the more complex Sonos) for not having any other sound system. Its richness and power is glorious, as loud as hell without distortion..."
