Driver Technology
Two-Way Drivers: The Cambridge Audio S30 bookshelf loudspeakers employ
a two-way speaker design.
- 1" Soft-Dome Tweeter: The S30 bookshelf loudspeakers feature a 1"
soft-dome tweeter for smooth, accurate highs. The tweeters
use high flux density, self shielding neodymium magnet assemblies for
improved sensitivity and better dynamics.
- 4.5" Mid-Bass Woofer: The S30 bookshelf loudspeakers utilize a 4.5"
woven polyfiber cone mid-bass woofer for dynamic mid & bass response.
Each mid-bass woofer uses a rigid phase plug for improved off-axis
integration. The 4.5" mid-bass woofers also feature a high-quality
rubber surround edge for reliable cone termination. In addition, an
optimized magnet motor-assembly is used for extended lower frequencies.
Two-Way Crossover: The S30 bookshelf loudspeakers utilize a 1st order,
2-way crossover to deliver high-frequencies to the tweeters and mid-/low-frequencies to the
mid-bass drivers. High-quality laminate core inductors give
cleaner bass with improved dynamics, while polypropylene film capacitors in
critical path areas give a high-resolution high frequency response.
Frequency Response: The S30 bookshelf loudspeakers have a frequency
response rating of 55 to 20,000 Hz.
Power Handling: The Cambridge Audio S30 bookshelf loudspeakers can
handle between 15 to 100 watts (RMS).
Enclosure Design
Bass Reflex Enclosure: The Cambridge Audio S30 bookshelf loudspeakers
utilize a bass reflex enclosure with a rear-firing port for greater efficiency
and bigger bass response.
MDF Cabinet: The S30 bookshelf loudspeakers feature a rigid MDF
cabinet with internal cross-bracing to prevent any unwanted distortion caused by
vibration and resonance.
Wood Veneer Finish: The S30 bookshelf loudspeakers are available in a
black or dark oak wood veneer finish.
Removable Grille: The Cambridge Audio S30 bookshelf loudspeakers
include removable black cloth grilles.
Magnetically Shielded: The enclosures have been magnetically shielded,
so you can safely place the speakers next to your television or computer
monitor.
Connections
Dual Binding Posts: The speaker has two sets of gold-plated
binding posts connected by gold-plated jumpers. Using the dual binding posts,
you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers. The binding post terminals will accept
bare-wire, pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and banana-plugs (single only).
Color Coded: The terminals are color-coded (black/red) to distinguish
between positive and negative.
Mounting Options
Applications: The Cambridge
Audio S30 bookshelf loudspeakers are ideal for stereo and home theater
applications. You can even add a Cambridge Audio S-series powered
subwoofer (779S90B,
sold separately).
Placement: Ideally, the bookshelf speakers and listening position
should be positioned equal distances apart.
Table-Top Mounting: The Cambridge Audio S30 bookshelf loudspeakers
include 8 self-adhesive foam-feet (4 each) to simply place the speakers securely
on a desk, table, shelf, or speaker stand securely and safely.
Wall Mounting: The optional PinPoint heavy duty side-grip
wall-mounting bracket (121AM40B,
sold separately) can be used to wall mount the speakers.
