Cambridge Audio L/R S Active Desktop Speakers (Pair)

The Cambridge Audio L/R S is a matched active stereo loudspeaker pair for smaller spaces, with no external amplifier required. It delivers big, characterful sound to desktops, shelves, and everyday corners of the home, with warm balance, crisp detail, simple wired connections, and easy Bluetooth pairing in a contemporary design. 100W total power. Just connect and listen. Available now at Vinyl Sound.

Clear sound wherever you place them

Compact yet capable, the L/R S delivers balanced, articulate audio that confidently outperforms its size. Carefully tuned to act as your main system or transform TV sound, it is an equally natural fit for desks and shelves, bringing presence and precision to the places where you live and work. A long-throw 3-inch woofer works with a precisely engineered 21mm aluminium tweeter and waveguide for clean vocals, articulate bass, and crisp detail, creating an unexpectedly expansive soundstage even up close.

Optimised for smaller spaces

Desktop and room-placement modes tailor the L/R S to your environment, while DynamEQ subtly adjusts low and high frequencies as the volume changes to keep every track full and confident without touching a setting. Speaker protection guards the drivers, and optional angled desk stands (sold separately) lift and tilt the speakers to direct sound toward you for sharper detail and a more natural soundstage.

Simple connections

The L/R S keeps things simple with Bluetooth (SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD) for easy wireless pairing, plus RCA Aux, optical TOSLINK, and USB-C inputs, and a subwoofer output if you want to add more low end. Speaker-to-speaker linking is handled by the supplied 2m high-level signal cable, with an optional 5m cable available for larger spaces or stands. Note the L/R S is a Bluetooth and wired speaker, not a network streaming speaker.

Styled for any home

Available in six finishes, the L/R S combines a compact footprint with an understated, contemporary design. A clean rear panel and optional tilt stand help it blend naturally into your space. Designed in London by Cambridge Audio's in-house engineers.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What is the Cambridge Audio L/R S?
The L/R S is a compact active desktop stereo speaker pair with amplification built in, so no external amplifier is required. It delivers 100W total from a 21mm aluminium tweeter and a 3-inch long-throw woofer per speaker, with Bluetooth aptX HD and wired inputs, tuned for desks, shelves, and smaller rooms.

Does the L/R S have Wi-Fi streaming like the L/R M and L/R X?
No. The L/R S is a Bluetooth and wired speaker, not a network streaming speaker, so it does not include Wi-Fi, StreamMagic, or services like Spotify Connect. Connect over Bluetooth (aptX HD) or via Aux, optical, or USB. If you want built-in Wi-Fi streaming and a phono input, step up to the L/R M or flagship L/R X.

What can I connect to the L/R S?
The L/R S offers Bluetooth with aptX HD plus RCA Aux, optical TOSLINK, and USB-C inputs, and a subwoofer output. It works well as a desktop system, a shelf system, or to improve TV sound via the optical input.

Do the L/R S need a subwoofer or amplifier?
No. The L/R S is active, with amplification built in, so no separate amplifier is needed. Its 3-inch woofers and rear reflex port deliver full sound for their size down to 55Hz, and a subwoofer output is provided if you want to add deeper bass.

How do the two speakers connect, and are desk stands available?
The pair links with the supplied 2m high-level signal cable, with an optional 5m cable for larger spaces or stands. Optional angled desk stands (sold separately) lift and tilt the speakers toward you for a more natural desktop soundstage.
