Cambridge SoundWorks Model Twelve portable speaker system

Date Published: 6/26/08

The Cambridge SoundWorks Model Twelve is a smart product. In addition to the endorsement from legendary rocker Mick Fleetwood (of Fleetwood Mac fame), this portable set of speakers is easy to move from place to place, thanks to the carrying case. The Model Twelve even has a 12-volt adapter to use on the road. All you need to do is add an audio source.

The Model Twelve provides 150 watts of power, but you need to plug in your portable MP3 player or portable CD player to make it go. In fact, with three audio inputs, you can plug in all your portable devices. The Model Twelve has a pair of two-way speakers that are magnetically shielded, and it comes with a separate 6-1/2-inch BassCase subwoofer that provides an impactful and musical low end. Cleverly, the subwoofer is part of the carrying case. Don't be fooled into thinking that the Model Twelve is a gadget, as it will impress just about anyone.
