Cambridge Audio introduces smartphone room calibration for its active stereo speakers

Cambridge Audio has launched RoomMagic, an automatic room correction tool rolling out as a free over-the-air update starting 11 November 2026. The feature is available through the company's StreamMagic app for both the L/R M and L/R X active stereo speakers, requiring no subscription, trial period, or extra hardware purchases. [1][2]

Instead of relying on dedicated measurement microphones, the system uses the microphone inside a user's phone or tablet. The setup within the StreamMagic app takes two audio readings: an initial calibration near the speaker followed by a measurement from the main listening position. Cambridge Audio says the process takes only a few minutes and generates a profile tailored to the space. [1][2]

The processing specifically targets bass and low frequencies, which Cambridge Audio claims cause the most audible room interference, while leaving midrange and treble untouched to preserve the speakers' core character and prevent distortion. Listeners can further tune the output using three target curves and an intensity slider inside the app. [1][2]
