Description
Pure power. When it comes to music, it’s about more than sheer brute force. A power amp should take great care in delivering music to your speakers. That’s the strength of the Cambridge Audio Azur 851W. Sure, it packs plenty of muscle with 200 watts per channel driving 8-ohm speakers. But the real magic is how it delivers that load — by preserving the purity of the signal through a sophisticated design made for audiophiles seeking sonic perfection.
Product highlights:
200 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.005% THD with 2 channels driven
350 watts per channel into 4 ohms
selectable stereo (single- or bi-wired), bi-amp (mono) and bridged mono modes
bridged mono mode delivers
500 watts x 1 into 8 ohms (800 watts x 1 into 4 ohms)
stereo balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs
proprietary Class XD amplification incorporates Class A and AB designs for signal purity, low crossover distortion, and improved efficiency
2 toroidal power transformers; 1 for the power amp stage, 1 for input stages and other circuits
proprietary Terrapin amplification stages offer improved stereo separation and imaging at low volume levels and consistent sound from all source components
total harmonic distortion: 0.005% at 20-20,000 Hz
signal-to-noise ratio: greater than 90 dB
frequency response: 5-80,000 Hz
auto-standby mode detects incoming audio signals for easy integration with a preamp
infrared control input, control bus in/out, and 12-volt trigger in/out for integration with external control systems and components
all-metal chassis with aluminum front panel to minimize vibration-induced distortion
CAP5 proprietary protection system prevents overheating and clipping
