The Cambridge Audio Maharishi Collection

The Cambridge x Maharishi collaboration is "a meeting of precise British engineering, considered design and a love for music," so reads the press release.

The new stylish crossover brings together Maharishi's roots in UK design and music culture with Cambridge Audio's more than five decades of audio expertise. 

This new collection features the Melomania A100 true wireless earphones and the Alva ST turntable, which are said to have been selected for their accessibility, premium performance, and versatility, while also representing two distinct listening experiences.

Alva ST is built for the home, offering high-fidelity vinyl playback with built-in Bluetooth aptX HD and phono stage, an advanced tonearm with detachable headshell, and a vibration-resistant belt-drive chassis. A timeless turntable designed for modern living spaces, it delivers warmth, depth, and clarity.

In contrast, Melomania A100 offers hi-fi-grade audio in a compact, wireless form. A100 deliver a pocket-sized amplifier with LDAC and aptX Lossless support, class AB amplification, up to 39 hours of total battery life, adaptive noise cancelling, and ultra-low latency. Tuned at Cambridge's own London venue, Melomania, A100 is built for daily movement and listening on the go.

Both products in this special collection are elevated by Maharishi's signature visual language, fusing high-visibility elements with a classic olive colourway, inspired by their traditional camouflage patterns, reflecting a pacifist reinterpretation of military aesthetics. 

Nick Udall, Head of Marketing and Brand Partnerships at Cambridge, told StereoNET:

I've been a long-time admirer of Maharishi. They have been intrinsic to the music I listen to, and I aspired to be a customer for many years. Being able to bring together our brands has been really organic – both parties had a desire to explore each other's customer bases, and so everything fell into place from the first meeting. The hardest part was picking the right products, as we wanted to build a long-term partnership, and the first capsule is a taste of things to come.

The campaign was shot in London and was brought to life by legendary Soul II Soul frontman Jazzie B (above) and Maharishi founder Hardy Blechman (below). 

Hardy Blechman, Founder of Maharishi, adds:

Cambridge has always represented purity and honesty in sound. There's a deep respect for music in what they do – and how they do it. This collaboration allowed us to explore the crossover between high-fidelity sound and design-led expression. It felt natural from the start.

We're told that this collaboration marks the beginning of an ongoing partnership between two brands that share a love of music, culture, and craftsmanship.

Cambridge Maharishi Melomania A100 is available now, priced at £139, and Alva ST will be available later in 2025, priced at £649.
