The original Cambridge Audio 540A was, without doubt, one of the finest amplifiers in its class. Now, with the 540A V2, the best has just got better!
With an upgraded power amp section, the new 540AV2 is 20 percent more powerful than the last version. To handle this extra power, the heat sink has been improved, which also leads to cooler running. Refinements made to the circuit layouts have also led to reduced distortion and even better speaker driving capability - not that the original amp was ever deficient in this area!
The preamp circuitry has also been heavily revised, and in this case it's noise and harmonic distortion that get the chop. The upshot of all these improvements is greater transparency of sound with enhanced power.
The rest of the amp is as before. This means the electronics sit on a foundation plate to achieve maximum support and acoustic damping. Constant monitoring by the intelligent proprietary CAP5 protection circuit checks for overloads or faults, while clipping detection reduces volume levels if a problem is detected.
The Azur 540A V2 features full remote control and a second set of speaker outputs means the 540A V2 can be enjoyed in more than one room. Six inputs with two tape loops are provided and two stand alone phono pre-amplifiers (the 540P and 640P) cater for vinyl lovers. Now fully Incognito ready, the 540A V2 can even be used as the heart of a multi-room system. The king is dead. Long live the king!
