That inclusion emphasizes the Yoyo (L)’s flexibility and value. That Cambridge Audio included an HDMI input is highly unusual. Speaking of TV, the Yoyo (L) is one of the few streaming speakers on the market that has an HDMI input to accompany its already-rich source options such as S/PDIF Optical (Toslink), 3.5mm aux, S/PDIF, and Bluetooth. You’ll need to control those functions through your source. The only thing you can’t do with the included remote (oddly enough) or the top buttons is play/pause, advance, or rewind a song. The remote can also learn your TV’s volume commands if you want to use it as a sound bar or TV speaker. I never felt forced to turn to a mobile app or short changed for using the physical remote. From volume to EQ pre-sets, to Spotify Playlists, to you name it. Every option you’d want is immediately available at your fingertips. Speaking of which, it is so refreshing to test a streaming speaker with a well-designed, well thought out remote. The Cambridge Audio Yoyo features Marton Mills Fabric You can also fine-tune the bass on-demand from the included remote. You can customize the speaker’s sound with four pre-set EQ settings: Movie, music, TV and Voice. But it was.Īnd the fun doesn’t stop there. From another room, my audiophile senses told me that there was no way that this moderate-footprint speaker could be delivering such clean, satisfying bass. The mid and upper bass is uncanny for the Cambridge Audio’s size.

The drivers deliver a smooth, dynamic, room-filling sound. Unlike the competition, there are front and side mounted full range drivers and subs for a total of six speakers. The Yoyo-L delivers an uncanny-good sound thanks to its driver design and arrangement. The Yoyo (L) comes beautifully wrapped with fine British fabric from Marton Mills. You have your choice of Dark Grey or Light Gray options. That’s British styling to complement British sound. Marton Mills have been crafting fine-quality fabrics since 1931.
The 100% worsted wool fabric harkens from world-renowned Yorkshire weavers Marton Mills. Cambridge Audio calls it Nanosphere treated acoustic wool. While most streaming speakers use plastic or who knows what cheap material, Cambridge Audio pampers you by wrapping the Yoyo (L) with acoustically transparent fabric.

It comes beautifully packaged with clear, easy-to-understand visual instructions-including how to connect the Yoyo to your television (I’ll get into that more further down). The unit’s top features buttons for commonly used commands. It starts with the svelte, rounded-edge design in a compact 10.59-inch x 4.92-inch x 10.59-inch footprint.
