Torus Tweeter Technology
The 28mm Torus Tweeter featured in the upper models (L/R M / L/R X) is Cambridge Audio’s proprietary technology. The donut-shaped rear chamber and tapered internal horn design reduce harmonic distortion.
DynamEQ Technology
The DynamEQ technology in the L/R M and L/R X optimizes frequency response according to volume level, maintaining rich bass and clear highs even at low listening volumes.
