1 SOUND has launched two innovative loudspeakers aimed at delivering high-quality sound with enhanced control and versatility in both live sound and installed audio applications. The CM38, a high-powered cardioid floor monitor, and the Level L38, a full-range, flush-mounted loudspeaker, each incorporate advanced features designed to meet the unique challenges of their respective environments.

CM38: Compact, Cardioid Floor Monitor for Live Sound

The CM38 is a high-performance floor monitor engineered to address common issues encountered in live sound settings. Standing at just 8 inches tall, the CM38’s compact design keeps it low-profile while delivering high-impact sound with a maximum SPL of 130 dB and a frequency response extending down to 60 Hz.

This bi-amped monitor features three 8-inch drivers, including a coaxial driver with 1 SOUND’s proprietary progressive horn design, intended to maintain high-frequency clarity at greater distances. The CM38 also incorporates passive cardioid behavior, reducing mid-low frequencies by approximately 8 dB on the sides and rear to minimize stage noise and enhance sound focus. This directional control provides a cleaner onstage environment, directing sound precisely where it’s needed and reducing spillover.

Sound engineers in various fields, from orchestral concerts to rock performances, have responded positively to the CM38’s capabilities. Mike Richards, Front of House Engineer at The Vine Theater, remarked, “This wedge is a game-changer in our industry! With the CM38, there’s no volume bleed off the stage. The control and isolation are amazing – you hear it only where it’s aimed.”

Level L38: Flush-Mounted Full-Range Solution for Discreet Installation

Unveiled in November 2024, the Level L38 introduces a low-profile, flush-mounted loudspeaker that merges powerful sound with architectural elegance. As the first entry in the new Level Series, the L38 is designed for wall or ceiling installation, standing only 8 inches off the mounting surface. It offers flexible application options for spaces such as high-energy bars, restaurants, and retail environments, where both aesthetics and high sound quality are priorities.

The L38 features three 8-inch drivers, one of which is coaxial and equipped with the same proprietary progressive horn design as the CM38. It achieves a maximum SPL of 130 dB and reaches frequencies as low as 65 Hz, making it suitable as a stand-alone, full-range speaker. The Level L38’s cardioid behavior minimizes off-axis sound by 8 dB, particularly in the mid-low frequencies, which reduces unwanted reflections and enhances listening clarity across the space.

Two installation models, the L38 Wall and L38 Ceiling, allow the speaker to be mounted between 8 and 15 feet high, with a 90-degree dispersion pattern beneath the speaker. This design enables clear, direct sound even for listeners directly below, while the cardioid pattern helps prevent sound reflection onto ceilings, providing an optimal listening experience.

Durability and Aesthetic Options Across Models

Both the CM38 and Level L38 are built with robust, high-quality materials designed to withstand various environments. Each model is available in a range of colors and finishes to match diverse installation needs, offering short turnaround times for customizations. Furthermore, both models are IP55-rated and resistant to saltwater, adding resilience for outdoor or challenging installation conditions.

The dual releases of the CM38 and Level L38 demonstrate 1 SOUND’s commitment to developing high-performance audio solutions that not only deliver on sound quality but also address practical challenges in both live and installed sound applications. As the company continues to innovate, these models offer versatile options for sound professionals looking to optimize both performance and aesthetics in their projects.

Bowers & Wilkins has introduced a new iteration of its iconic Zeppelin speaker, known as the Zeppelin Pro Edition, which aims to elevate the speaker’s design and performance to new heights. Launched initially in 2007, the Zeppelin has long been known for its unique ovoid shape and solid reputation as a wireless speaker. 

The Pro Edition brings a series of upgrades to both the speaker’s internal components and exterior design while maintaining the distinct look that made the original so recognizable.

One of the first things users will notice about the Zeppelin Pro Edition is its external tweaks. Available in two new finishes—Solar Gold and Space Grey—this model retains the Zeppelin’s recognizable shape but offers a fresh visual appeal.

The addition of customizable lighting in the form of a revised downlight is another feature that sets the Pro Edition apart from its predecessors. Users can now select from more than 15 colour options and adjust the brightness to fit their environment, giving the speaker a more personalized and modern touch.

While these aesthetic updates contribute to the overall user experience, the more significant changes are found within the speaker itself. The internal components of the Zeppelin Pro Edition have been carefully upgraded to provide improved audio clarity and performance, especially for those seeking high-resolution sound.

The main improvements made to the Zeppelin Pro Edition are its upgraded tweeters and midrange drivers. The titanium dome tweeters, previously seen in Bowers & Wilkins’ 600 Series loudspeakers, are now featured in this wireless model. Placed at the far ends of the enclosure, these tweeters are isolated from the vibrations caused by other internal components, which helps deliver cleaner, crisper high-frequency sounds.

The midrange drivers, measuring 90mm, use the brand’s proprietary Fixed Suspension Transducer (FST) technology, a feature borrowed from Bowers & Wilkins’ premium floor-standing speakers. These drivers have been upgraded with increased cone damping, designed to reduce distortion from cone break-up, resulting in a more open and revealing midrange. 

Paired with revised digital signal processing (DSP) tuning, these internal changes should ensure a more precise and room-filling sound across various listening environments.

Low-frequency response is handled by a 150mm subwoofer, centrally mounted within the Zeppelin Pro Edition’s structure. This subwoofer has been specifically designed to prevent the cabinet from rocking when in use, ensuring a stable and clean bass performance. The goal of these refinements is to produce deep, detailed bass without the muddiness that can sometimes plague wireless speakers at this size and price point.

With these changes, Bowers & Wilkins has aimed to provide a more balanced and agile low-end performance, ensuring the Zeppelin Pro Edition can handle a wide range of audio styles—from delicate acoustic tracks to bass-heavy electronic music—without losing clarity or depth.

The Zeppelin Pro Edition supports multiple wireless streaming options, including AirPlay 2, Bluetooth aptX Adaptive, and Spotify Connect. Additionally, the Bowers & Wilkins Music app gives users access to a broad selection of music streaming services, including Deezer, Qobuz, TIDAL, and TuneIn. This flexibility ensures that the Zeppelin Pro Edition is well-suited for audiophiles who prefer high-resolution audio as well as casual listeners who simply want reliable, high-quality streaming.

Cambridge Audio has launched the EX Series, comprising the EXA100 stereo integrated amplifier and EXN100 music streamer. The EXA100 stereo integrated amplifier is the power behind the new EX Series.

Over three years in the making, and with almost 60 years of audio expertise behind it, the EX Series is the successor to Cambridge’s Azur 851 range – and EXA100 is its beating heart.

Drawing on trickledown amplifier technology from the flagship Edge M monoblock power amp, EXA100 offers a wide soundstage from 100W per channel of Class AB amplification.

A huge array of connectivity options, a built-in DAC, HDMI eARC and a dedicated Power Amp Mode make it functionally as accomplished as it sounds.

“We believe this is, pound for pound, the finest amplifier we’ve ever built. It exemplifies the new EX Series, overdelivering on performance and versatility in this category,” says James Johnson-Flint, Owner and CEO of Cambridge Audio. “EXA100 is a serious step up for anyone upgrading from our CX amps, and the perfect stepping stone to the Edge range.”

The EXA100 houses an advanced toroidal transformer, heavily shielded, super-quiet and flanked by heavy-duty heat sinks. The amplifier modules are based on those in the Edge M power amp, and EXA100 even uses the same power transistors as its monobloc stablemate, delivering high-end quality at a fraction of the cost.

The approach to internal design can also be seen in everything from the four-layer PCBs to the proprietary CAP protection system, which uses four different methods to detect potential issues, such as power and temperature overloads, and take preventive action. 

EXA100’s connectivity is comprehensive, befitting a modern integrated amplifier.

On the analogue side, inputs comprise a set of Balanced XLRs and three sets of RCA stereo sockets. For output, you get a front-mounted 6.3mm headphone socket, a stereo pre-out and a subwoofer pre-out for adding extra bass options to a set-up. There are two sets of speaker outputs, allowing users to power music in two different rooms or add a secondary outdoor speaker pair. 

EXA100 is also a digital audio powerhouse, thanks to an ESS Sabre ES9018K2M DAC (digital-to-analogue converter) and an array of dedicated digital connections. HDMI eARC enables easy connection to a TV, with the benefit of volume control via the TV’s remote. 

There are also inputs for USB Audio, digital coaxial and two TOSLINK optical sockets.

Bluetooth aptX HD is also available for added convenience, or to stream vinyl wirelessly from a Cambridge Audio Alva turntable.

Switch the EXA100 to Power Amp Mode and it transforms literally into that – a stereo power amp – so that it can be paired with the preamp of choice or used as part of a multi-channel home cinema system.

This means it can optionally be used in pre/power combination with the new EXN100 music streamer with its digital-only Preamp Mode. EXN100 provides the streaming brains and volume control, all controllable via the StreamMagic app, while EXA100 delivers power and detail. 

The EXA100 features a milled aluminium front panel and a tactile knurled volume knob. Visually it again partners perfectly with EXN100, with matching Lunar Grey finishes and a full-height centre panel that boldly cuts through the fascia.

EX Series introduces a new remote control, supplied with EXA100, that also provides command over EXN100.

During CEDIA Expo 2024 last month, Waterfall Audio showcased its Niagara XT range of floor-standing loudspeakers, which feature three brand-new models.

Encased within a unique fully transparent platinum safety glass enclosure (XT2 and XT3: 0.39 inches thick; XT1: 0.24 inches thick), the Niagara XT Series comes alive in natural light, subtly reflecting and refracting sunbeams throughout the day. Custom-built mid/bass Atohm drivers appear as if they are suspended in mid-air and are underpinned by an ultra-low frequency 8.3-inch passive driver in a down-firing position in the solid, CNC-cut, brushed tapered aluminum base.

The drivers in the Niagara XT series are equipped with JETSTREAM damping technology, developed in-house by Waterfall Audio, to maximize performance and ensure the mechanical decoupling of the mid-bass driver from the glass structure. JETSTREAM allows for deeper and faster bass with a smoother response in the mid and high range, optimised heat dissipation and superb control of the rear wave on the cone.

The Niagara XT1 and XT2 each feature a signature wood horn tweeter. The XT1 (991mm height x 250mm width x 281mm depth/400w output) and larger XT2 (1169mm x 300mm x 346mm/500w output) are available in a Classic version with an oiled beech wood tweeter finish. An exclusive option is proposed with alternative wood finishes, such as walnut, to suit the particular interior tastes of the client. Offering an infinite variety of colors, textures, and grains, the wood is individually selected, paired, and matched for each speaker. Other materials could also be chosen to further customize the tweeters of the XT1 and XT2 versions.

Steinway Lyngdorf has launched the BWS-110, a high-performance in-wall woofer specifically made for Steinway & Sons speaker installations requiring the most shallow woofer solution. The BWS-110 is the brand’s sixth woofer model in a portfolio ranging from stackable installation woofers to in-room woofers featuring the trademark high-gloss piano lacquer.

BWS-110 stands for Boundary Woofer Shallow, incorporating one 10-inch bass driver and designed as a high-performance in-wall woofer for custom installations that require a shallow woofer solution with the best bass performance. The BWS-110 utilizes a patented high-excursion shallow woofer design, customized for Steinway Lyngdorf and based on an innovative voice-coil/cone geometry and suspension, which allows the highest excursion from the most space-saving construction. A four-layer voice coil, an ultra-rigid dual aluminum cone, a powerful neodymium magnet, and a rigid cast aluminum basket provide impressive bass performance.

The rigid and sealed enclosure perfectly fits 4-inch/10 cm cavity walls, while the extended height provides the large inner cabinet volume required for bass extension. In combination with the 10-inch bass driver, the BWS-110 delivers an outstanding bass performance. It is designed for any media room and home cinema with no space for placing subwoofers in the room. It comes with a paintable, magnetically-held grille to cover the woofer front.

As with every Steinway & Sons loudspeaker, the BWS-110 is part of the company’s Integrated System Approach, ensuring all parts of the system, from the speaker to the woofers to the digital amplifiers and the stereo or surround processors, work perfectly together as one. Steinway Lyngdorf’s incorporated RoomPerfect technology acoustically calibrates the speaker and woofer performance to the room acoustics, while the unique Bass Management achieves the best sound integration between the chosen Steinway & Sons speakers and the BWS-110 woofers. This ensures the best sound experience for every customer, in any room and any speaker layout.

The BSW-110 production will start in October 2024 at Steinway Lyngdorf, Denmark.
