Made by Music - Cambridge Audio’s New Identity Signals Its Future

Cambridge Audio has announced a sweeping rebrand and fresh visual identity, signalling a bold new chapter for the British hi-fi company as it doubles down on its long-held mission to connect people with the emotional power of music.

StereoNET was at the event in London to witness the reveal first-hand. The company’s new branding and strategic direction were warmly received by media and industry insiders alike.

Unveiled today, the rebrand sees Cambridge roll out a striking new look across its product range, app ecosystem, and global presence. But more than just a cosmetic overhaul, this marks a recommitment to being “Made by Music”—a guiding philosophy rooted in the company’s founding ethos from 1968.

James Johnson-Flint, owner of Cambridge Audio, told StereoNET:

For over 50 years, we’ve built products that bring music to life. When I took over in 1994, the brand had lost its way. I’m incredibly proud of where we are today, and this new era reflects the team’s passion and future direction. We’re staying true to who we are, while opening the door to a wider audience.

The redesign was developed in collaboration with UK branding agency Only, whose past work includes projects with Printworks London and The Beams. The new identity aims to position Cambridge at the intersection of music, design, and culture, blending modern aesthetics with a timeless, emotionally resonant presence that goes beyond the traditional hi-fi space.

Daniel Tweddle, Strategy Director at Only, said:

This has been a dream brief. We’ve loved Cambridge for years, so getting to help shape what comes next, with such a passionate, talented team, has been a real privilege.

Matthew Tweddle, Creative Director at Only, added:

Our aim was to connect Cambridge’s love of music with a design system that feels culturally alive and emotionally resonant, while delivering a more premium experience across every touchpoint.

From logos and packaging to product interfaces and retail displays, Cambridge's updated look gives it the flexibility to speak to today’s music lovers—those who value simplicity, good design, seamless tech, and authentic connection.

For Nick Udall, Cambridge Audio’s Head of Marketing and Brand Partnerships, the rebrand strikes a personal chord:

As a lifelong music fan, getting to work at Cambridge and lead the brand through this transition is career-defining for me. This rebrand is a new chapter, a statement of intent. It enables us to connect with listeners in new ways, from diversifying our product development to supporting cultural movements that celebrate their love of music.

The announcement also comes alongside two significant new product launches: the Melomania A100 true wireless earphones and a Special Edition Evo 150 streaming amplifier. Both models carry the updated visual branding and reflect the brand’s intention to blend audiophile-grade engineering with lifestyle-friendly formats. Additionally, Cambridge has refreshed its Melomania Connect and StreamMagic apps and relaunched its website to align with the new brand experience.

While the look may be new, the sentiment remains the same. Whether through vinyl or streaming, headphones or hi-fi separates, Cambridge Audio continues to champion the kind of meaningful listening experiences that are, quite simply, made by music.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
