Cambridge Audio Maharishi collection
Cambridge Audio, the London-based audio pioneers, and Maharishi, designers of environmentally conscious, durable, utilitarian clothing, are excited to announce the launch of their first collaborative capsule – a meeting of precise British engineering, considered design and a love for music.
Made by music
Bringing together Maharishi’s deep roots in UK design and music culture with Cambridge Audio’s more than five decades of audio expertise, the collection reimagines the Melomania A100 true wireless earphones and Alva ST turntable to connect a fashion-conscious audience to the power of music. Selected for their accessibility, premium performance and versatility, Alva ST and Melomania A100 represent two different 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 have been re-imagined with 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 Audio, commented, “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. Our aim is to bring our brand to wider audiences and celebrate their love and discovery of music.”
For the love of music culture
The campaign was shot in London and was brought to life by legendary Soul II Soul frontman Jazzie B and Maharishi founder Hardy Blechman. The visuals celebrate both individuals’ enduring impact on British music and streetwear culture.
Jazzie B, a spearhead of sound system culture and UK soul, was a natural choice, embodying the deep musical heritage championed by both brands. His legacy of innovation and community through music made him an ideal collaborator for a project rooted in authenticity, music and creative expression.
Hardy Blechman, Founder of Maharishi, said, “Cambridge Audio 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.”
The collaboration marks the beginning of an ongoing partnership between two brands that share a love of music, culture,and craftsmanship.
Cambridge Audio Maharishi Melomania A100 is available now across the UK and Asia, priced at £139, and Alva ST will be available later in 2025, priced at £649.
