Every room changes the way speakers sound, especially in the bass. Cambridge Audio now has an answer for owners of its active L/R speakers. Cambridge Audio RoomMagic is a free room correction feature that arrives as an over-the-air update for the L/R X and L/R M. The rollout started on November 11.
There is no subscription, no trial period and no extra app.
Cambridge Audio RoomMagic: just your phone
Cambridge Audio RoomMagic was developed in-house and runs inside the StreamMagic app. It uses the built-in microphone of any smartphone or tablet, so you don’t need extra hardware.
The process takes two measurements. The first calibrates your phone’s microphone, the second is taken from your listening position. Cambridge Audio RoomMagic then builds a correction profile based on how the speaker sounds in an optimal listening environment.
Only the bass is corrected
Cambridge Audio deliberately limits the correction to the low frequencies, where the room has the biggest audible effect. The goal is tight, well-defined bass. The midrange and treble are left untouched, so the character of the speakers stays as Cambridge tuned it.
You can choose between three target curves, and a slider lets you set how strong the correction is. The company says Cambridge Audio RoomMagic will improve over time based on real-world use and feedback.
Set up in minutes
According to Cambridge Audio, RoomMagic “ensures the signature sound of the speakers arrives in any home sounding exactly as it was tuned”. Setting up Cambridge Audio RoomMagic takes only a few minutes, and there is nothing to unpack, connect or position.
