More than three decades
of hi-fi excellence

Heritage

When you purchase a Cambridge Audio product,
you're not simply buying a hi-fi component, you're
investing in thirty-seven years of British
engineering excellence.
Since its inception in 1968, Cambridge Audio
has brought some of the most innovative and
technologically advanced products to the global
hi-fi market.
During the '70s, the P40, P50 and P110
amplifiers established the international
reputation of the Cambridge Audio brand. The
'80s saw Cambridge Audio launch the world's
first two-box CD player,
whilst in the '90s,
DacMagic was the first
product in the company's
history to win an
esteemed What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Best
Buy award.
The new millennium has seen Cambridge
Audio continue to innovate with its award winning
DAB500 and DAB300 digital tuners as well as a
range of multi-channel products. Meeting the
needs of the most discerning audiophile and
Home Cinema enthusiast, the Azur range has
won a significant number of awards from leading
magazines including What Hi-Fi?

Engineering and production

Cambridge Audio's philosophy of employing only
the finest quality components continues with the
Azur range. All models are developed using
cutting-edge test and measurement equipment
and feature the latest technology. Examples
include the new 540R AV Receiver that employs
a decoder capable of processing Dolby Digital EX
6.1. Premium Sony laser optics, custom servo
mechanisms and proprietary advanced low jitter
circuitry are featured in both Azur CD players.
Meanwhile, Cambridge Audio's DVD player
offers PAL and NTSC Progressive Scan that
considerably improves picture quality compared
with DVD-Video.
This commitment to engineering excellence,
combined with state-of-the-art manufacturing
facilities means every Cambridge Audio product
offers the best possible performance. Prior to
launch, all designs undergo rigorous evaluation
involving meticulous listening
and fine-tuning.
Such attention to detail
results in products that are
totally convincing in the
reproduction of both tonal colour and dynamic
contrast, delivering a vibrant and fluid
performance across music of all types.
