pleasure from it. Like all Cambridge Audio products Minx Air adheres to our three
core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible value.
The Minx Air 100 and Air 200 can wirelessly access a wide range of audio from
most phones, tablets or PCs.
Apple Airplay allows content from iPads, iPhones, iPod touch and any PC/Mac
running iTunes to be simply sent to the Minx Air.
Airplay not only allows playback from the native music playback features of those
devices but also from any streaming service Apps that you have downloaded to
them.
You can simply download and use music Apps such as Spotify, Napster, Pandora,
Rhapsody or others and direct playback to your Minx Air for the best possible sound
quality.
For compatibility with Android phones and tablets and a wide range of other
devices, Minx Air also features compatibility with Bluetooth audio.
Any phone, tablet, laptop or PC with Bluetooth audio can play back its content via
Bluetooth on the Minx Air. Again this includes any streaming services or other Apps
you may wish to download.
In addition the Minx Air units feature our curated Internet Radio service which
brings the best stations to you which have been checked by us for reliability and
sound quality.
Over 20,000 stations are currently available with more being added each day.
These can be browsed and set via our free Apps for both Android and Apple (iOS)
devices. These Apps also allow control of the Minx Air for volume, bass , treble and

product on your network.
Internet radio presets can also be recalled from the buttons on the top of the Minx
Air or remote control without needing to use the App.
High quality components are used throughout with both models featuring the latest
in Digital Signal Processing including a 24-bit DSP running algorithms developed
for us by Waves Audio, recipient of a 2011 Technical GRAMMY® award.
Patented BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) speaker drivers deliver a wider, more

The Minx Air 100 features two BMRs and 100 watts of output power. The Minx Air
200 features two BMRs plus a Subwoofer and 200watts of output power.
Both models also feature an environmentally friendly low power (<0.5w) standby
circuit and an Auto Power Down feature.
Thanks for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend you keep it for
future reference.
