A small emitter on the front of the handset sends a pulse of infrared light that your Cambridge Audio component’s IR receiver reads and translates into a command. Because IR uses light, it requires a clear line of sight between the remote and the component. Walls, furniture, or a closed cabinet door will block the signal. The effective range is up to approximately 10 meters (33 feet) in a typical room. There’s no wireless pairing or Bluetooth setup involved — install the batteries, and it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔\" width=\"15\"\u003e You own a Cambridge Audio CX Series 1 or Series 2 component and your original remote is lost, damaged, or no longer responding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔\" width=\"15\"\u003e You purchased a used CX Series component that didn’t include its original remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔\" width=\"15\"\u003e You’re setting up a second listening room and want a dedicated remote for a CX component there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔\" width=\"15\"\u003e You have multiple CX Series components and want a backup handset that controls the whole system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want peace of mind knowing the remote in your hand is the real Cambridge Audio part — not a generic substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility Note\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the genuine Cambridge Audio CX Series remote, confirmed compatible with: \u003cstrong\u003eCXA60, CXA61, CXA80, CXA81, CXA81 MkII, CXC, CXN V1, CXN V2, and CXN100\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Your Cambridge Audio CX Series component handles everything else. No hub, no app, no additional hardware required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy remote stopped responding. What should I check?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart by replacing both AAA batteries with fresh alkaline ones — even batteries that aren’t fully dead can cause inconsistent response. Then make sure there’s a clear line of sight between the remote and the IR receiver on the front of your component; strong sunlight or nearby IR devices can occasionally interfere. If it still doesn’t respond after fresh batteries and a clear sight line, give us a call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we’ve helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take your time.

Each speaker has its own amplifier built right inside. That means you do not need a separate stereo receiver or amplifier box. You just plug the speakers in, connect them to your music, and start listening. Speakers built this way are called \"active\" speakers, because the amp lives inside the speaker instead of a separate box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L\/R X is the biggest and most powerful model in Cambridge Audio's new L\/R line. It is built for people who want the deep, full sound of large floor-standing speakers, but do not want a stack of separate boxes and cables to get there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the L\/R X Makes Your Music Sound Better\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCambridge Audio built a new tweeter (the small driver that plays high notes, like cymbals and violins) called the Torus™ tweeter. Inside, it is shaped like a donut, which helps stop echoes from bouncing around and muddying the sound. The result is treble that stays clear and detailed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach speaker also has two 5-inch woofers (larger drivers that play bass and midrange) plus a passive radiator (a driver with no amp of its own that helps push out more bass). One woofer faces forward, and the other faces down toward the base. Splitting the work this way lets each driver focus on what it does best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, the drivers can play bass down to about 35Hz. That is deep enough that most listeners will not need a separate subwoofer — though the L\/R X does have a subwoofer output if you want to add one later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside each speaker, a 64-bit digital signal processor (a small onboard computer) handles the crossover work and keeps the sound balanced at any volume, using a Cambridge Audio feature called DynamEQ. With 800 watts of total power (400 watts in each speaker), the L\/R X has plenty of headroom for loud nights, and built-in protection keeps the sound clean instead of distorting when you push the volume up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L\/R X is brand new, so full lab reviews are not out yet. But early hands-on demos from What Hi-Fi? and T3 were positive, and eCoustics named the L\/R X to its Best of CES list when Cambridge Audio unveiled it in January 2026.

It has a built-in phono stage, so a turntable with a standard cartridge can plug in directly — no separate phono preamp needed. There is also a USB-C audio input for a computer, an optical (Toslink) input, an analog RCA input, and a subwoofer output if you want extra bass later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor streaming, the L\/R X connects to your Wi-Fi or Ethernet network and uses Cambridge Audio's StreamMagic platform to play Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer, Roon, internet radio, Google Cast, and Apple AirPlay 2 — all without a separate streaming box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two speakers talk to each other over a wireless connection called WiSA HT, or you can use the included 5-meter USB-C cable for a wired link.

Just plug the speakers into power, connect your source (or your Wi-Fi network for streaming), and you are ready to listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to buy a subwoofer too?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost listeners will not need one. The L\/R X plays bass down to about 35Hz on its own, which covers the low end of most music and movies. If you want even deeper bass for movie nights, the speakers do have a subwoofer output, so you can always add one later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my turntable directly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, as long as your turntable uses a standard moving-magnet cartridge. The L\/R X has a phono stage built in, so you do not need a separate phono preamp. Just run a cable from your turntable to the phono input on the back of the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a cable to connect the two speakers to each other?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot necessarily. The speakers can link wirelessly using a technology called WiSA HT. If you would rather have a rock-solid wired connection, a 5-meter USB-C cable is included in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this work with my TV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The L\/R X has an HDMI eARC input, so you can connect it to a TV that supports eARC and use the speakers for your TV sound, with volume control from your TV remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the L\/R X and the L\/R M?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L\/R X is the flagship model, with 800 watts of total power, dual 5-inch woofers, and dual 6-inch passive radiators per speaker. The L\/R M is a smaller sibling with 300 watts of total power and a more compact size, built for smaller rooms. Both share the same Torus tweeter and StreamMagic streaming platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services can I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L\/R X supports Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer, Roon, internet radio, Google Cast, and Apple AirPlay 2, all built into the speakers through Cambridge Audio's StreamMagic app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat else do I need to get started?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most people, nothing else is required — just the speakers, a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection, and a music source.

Connect it to any amplifier or AV receiver with standard speaker terminals, ideally rated between 25 and 200 watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003eHow is the MSX20 different from the MSX10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eBoth share the same general-purpose BMR driver, but the MSX20 adds a second, dedicated bass driver, extending response down to 120Hz for noticeably more low-end weight and scale than the MSX10 offers on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003eDo I need to buy these in pairs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eNo. The MSX20 is sold individually, so you can order exactly the number you need, whether that's two for a stereo pair, one as a center channel, or several for a full surround setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003eCan I use the MSX20 as a center channel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eYes. Its compact cabinet can be oriented horizontally, making it a discreet option for placement under or near a TV as a center channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003eWill I need a subwoofer too?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eNot necessarily for casual listening, since the MSX20's dedicated bass driver already extends response to 120Hz. For movies or music that need deeper bass, the MSX Sub 200 or the larger MSX Sub 300 are designed to hand off cleanly from the MSX20's low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e – Helping music lovers build better systems since 1981.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hear it in your own system with confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal Product Experts\u003c\/strong\u003e – Friendly advice before and after your purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e – On qualifying orders over $49.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Financing\u003c\/strong\u003e – Convenient payment options available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cambridge Audio","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ New","offer_id":46106335936685,"sku":"NEW-CAMSX20-BLK-EA","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ New","offer_id":46067721961645,"sku":"NEW-CAMSX20-WHT-EA","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/CAMSX20_1.jpg?v=1786736730"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/collections\/cambridge-audio.oembed","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
