SS10 specifications

The Cambridge Audio SS10 is an exceptional speaker system that embodies the brand's commitment to high-fidelity audio performance and innovative technology. Renowned for its elegant design and robust build quality, the SS10 is aimed at audiophiles and casual listeners alike, making it a versatile choice for any audio setup.

At the heart of the SS10 are its premium drive units, which utilize advanced materials and engineering techniques to ensure clarity and precision in sound reproduction. The speaker features a 10-inch bass driver that delivers deep, rich low frequencies, allowing listeners to experience the full depth of their music. Accompanying the bass driver is a 5-inch midrange driver that ensures a smooth and natural transition between low and high frequencies, while the 1-inch tweeter captures the delicate nuances of the higher end with exceptional detail.

One of the standout features of the SS10 is its bespoke cabinet design. Crafted from high-quality MDF, the enclosure is engineered to minimize resonance and unwanted vibrations, a critical factor in preserving audio fidelity. The speakers are finished with a luxurious veneer, giving them a sophisticated appearance that will complement any decor.

The SS10 also incorporates Cambridge Audio’s innovative technology, including their proprietary ABR (Auxiliary Bass Radiator) system. This technology boosts bass response without the need for additional amplification, enabling listeners to enjoy rich sound even in challenging acoustic environments. Furthermore, the speakers are designed to be easily driven by a wide range of amplifiers, making them compatible with various audio systems and ensuring flexibility for users.

Another key characteristic is the SS10's impressive soundstage. By utilizing a carefully designed driver arrangement, the speakers produce a wide and immersive listening experience, allowing users to feel as though they are right in the middle of their favorite recordings.

The Cambridge Audio SS10 speakers are a perfect blend of style and substance, showcasing the brand's dedication to high-quality sound and user-friendly design.
