CML Music launches Etude Tri-Linear Array speaker

CML Music launched the Etude Tri-Linear Array floorstanding loudspeaker at the North West Audio Show 2026 in Cheshire. The new ETLA is priced at £3,000 per pair in the standard satin crackle finish. It is scheduled for direct sale by CML Music.

The loudspeaker uses a sealed cabinet designed for boundary-loaded placement near a rear wall. Its driver layout uses three vertical linear arrays, each carrying four 85 mm BMR drivers. A compression tweeter sits above the central BMR array.

The design includes user-selectable flank-array roll-off or step-down settings. Tweeter output can also be tuned by solderless resistor changes. The ETLA has a stated in-room frequency response of 32 Hz to 20 kHz within ±6 dB limits, sensitivity of about 99 dB/W and nominal impedance of 8 ohms.

Programme power handling is stated at 240 W, and minimum impedance is 5 ohms. The cabinet measures 760 mm high, 400 mm wide and 386 mm deep with standard M8 gliders. Each speaker weighs about 25 kg.

The ETLA was exhibited in Room 142 at the North West Audio Show with Super Natural Audio and Clipaudio. The demonstration system used Super Natural Audio valve electronics and Clipaudio Dolomite analogue playback. The loudspeaker can be voiced to match the Etude High Sensitivity Bipole for multichannel systems.
