Go: Portable Bluetooth Speaker
The new Go portable speaker updates the specification of the award-winning* Minx Go to add NFC technology (Near Field Communication) for even simpler, one-touch Bluetooth pairing. and support for aptX Bluetooth to guarantee the highest quality playback.
Just like its' predecessor, the Go offers a class leading 18 hours playback from a single battery charge. You can also charge your portable devices (phones, tablets etc) via the Go using the convenient USB port on the back of the product - great for outdoor environments where charging facilities are limited.
Measuring just 237mm (W) x 123mm x (H) x 60mm (D) - the new Go uses a high efficiency, DSP driven digital amplifier to drive a high spec speaker system with twin mid-range divers, twin tweeters and a large rear-firing ABR (Auxiliary Bass Radiator) to provide superb sound with incredibly deep bass.
The Go will also remember up to 8 different Bluetooth devices that it has been paired to, so each time you switch it on connection should be instant and automatic. Or alternatively, if you're not using Bluetooth, the 3.5mm analogue input, means you can always directly connect just about any device.
Available in September in either Satin Black or Satin White, priced at £119.95.
* The Cambridge Audio Minx Go won What Hi-Fi's ‘Best Wireless Speaker Under £200' & Pocket- Lint's ‘Best Portable Speaker' in 2013.
Go Radio: Portable Bluetooth Speaker and FM Radio
Go Radio enjoys the same high specification as the new Go model including class leading 18 hour battery life, Near Field Communication, for even simpler Bluetooth pairing and the superior quality of Bluetooth aptX, while adding the maximum portable convenience of an integrated FM radio.
With Go Radio you can listen to FM radio or play music from any phone, tablet or computer. Three FM presets make it easier than ever to listen to your favourite FM stations. A discreet LED digital display behind the front grille indicates which input is selected or which FM radio station is currently playing.
There's also the option to access the thousands of internet/digital radio stations by simply streaming them from your favourite apps, plus the option to play music from other devices using the 3.5mm Aux input. And to ensure you're never without battery charge on your portable devices (phones, tablets etc) you can charge them on the go via the USB charging port.

Bluetone 100: The powerful wireless speaker with immersive room-filling sound
Not only does it deliver impressive room filling sound, the Bluetone 100 is a great looking system and has been specially constructed, with a one-piece casework, designed to give class leading elimination of rattles and vibrations; to preserve outright quality for years to come.
To guarantee the best possible sound performance the Bluetone 100 uses premium grade components including a powerful 100W, DSP driven Class-D amplifier to drive patented BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) drive units.
The Bluetone 100 with a powerful 100 watts of amplification can connect to virtually any Bluetooth device, and with a range of up to 10 metres, it's never been easier to enjoy music around your home.
Cambridge has chosen to develop its own BMR drivers due to their combination of offering both a larger driver with a slimmer profile while offering superior performance to conventional drivers.
And by supporting Bluetooth aptX, streamed sound quality is excellent giving the best possible results for any Bluetooth device and CD quality playback for aptX compatible products.
The Bluetooth 100 can also be tuned to work optimally in any listening environment via the convenient bass control knob on the rear of the speaker.

It also boasts the environmental feature Auto Power Down (APD), conserves energy by automatically switching your Bluetone 100 off after eight hours if no buttons have been pressed in that time.
