Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers Amp Review

The Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 surround sound speakers amp is a one-box speaker system that requires minimal setup, thanks to its EZ setup concept. The manual advises against using the dial with this particular system, as it automatically selects the proper playback mode. This eliminates any confusion that may arise from flipping through settings such as Mute, Surround, Dialogue, and Stereo.

One of the most confusing features is the mode switch on top of the main speaker, which can be a bit tricky to understand at first. However, the owner's manual provides illustrations to guide users through the connection process, making it easy to set up the system. The speaker connects to the subwoofer via a single cable, and the DVD module connects to the subwoofer's amps.

The surround sound system satisfies those who don't have space for separate speakers by providing a compact and efficient design. It measures approximately 15 x 4.5 x 7 inches for the speaker, 10 x 11 x 12.5 inches for the subwoofer, and 17 x 2.6 x 13.5 inches for the DVD/tuner.

The bundle comes with additional A/V inputs, including one component, three S-Video, two composite video jacks, one coaxial and one digital audio jack, and a set of standard front-panel A/V jacks for game players or camcorders. The speaker box connects to the subwoofer via a single cable, which houses all the amplifiers for the ensemble: 75-watt bass amp and 50-watt amps for each front channel.

The center speaker features an unusual design with concave moldings for the front three speakers, including one on either side of a 2.78-inch full-range left and right speakers flanking a 2.78-inch center speaker. The Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 surround sound speakers amp is an excellent option for those who want high-quality surround sound without the hassle of complicated setup or messy wires.
