WIDE SOUND DISPERSION

The 4th generation BMR® driver construction also delivers a more room-filling sound by using horizontal vibration modes for a much wider soundstage. This makes them ideal for modern homes and room layouts where speakers might not end up placed optimally for traditional stereo audio. You can place the Aeromax 2 wherever you want and still get great stereo and surround effects.

SOUND FIRST

The BMR drivers we use utilise patented ‘bending wave’ principles normally seen in advanced flat panel speakers combined with pistonic movement (backwards and forwards) like in a traditional speaker design. By replacing the traditional tweeter with a BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) driver, the Aeromax 2 offers a radical difference in audio quality compared to its rivals. Using the BMR shifts the crossover point between tweeter and woofer away from the usual 3kHz, right at the middle of the human ear's most sensitive hearing range, to a less problematic 250Hz. The result is a more natural, immersive and coherent sound. As well as offering a more coherent sound at the top end, moving to a 250Hz crossover between BMR® and traditional drivers and subwoofers offers advantages at the bottom end too. Aeromax cone drivers and subwoofers are specifically designed to complement the BMR® drivers - producing cinematic, immersive sound with sumptuous and accurate bass.

"I think that the engineers at Cambridge Audio must have had a lot of fun tuning the Aeromax 2’s into a great sounding set of speakers. Just start with an already good sounding speaker, add the right quantity of secret sauce in all the right places and hey presto, the results speak for itself (pun intended)."

NEW BMR® DRIVER

IMPROVED CROSSOVER

Aeromax uses ultra-high grade crossover components to bring superb levels of detail and transparency.

NEW SPEAKER TERMINALS

Aeromax 2 and 6 feature brand new, audiophile grade, gold plated speaker terminal posts for the ultimate performance.

HIGH GRADE INTERNAL CABLING

Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) internal cabling for the purest signal path from the audiophile grade, gold plated terminal posts to the crossover and drive units.

SUPERIOR CABINET BRACING

Extensively braced cabinets lock the drive units mechanically to the cabinet structure resulting in lower colouration and cleaner dynamics. This is especially important with Aeromax as the drivers are actually high power subwoofers, so the more rigid the cabinet, the better.
