The Cambridge Audio Azur 550a amplifier follows on from the award-winning 540a with an upgraded technical spec and a sleek new look.
As before, the Azur 550a features bespoke, audiophile engineering to provide class-leading sound quality. Given their price, the 5-series amps have always been beautifully engineered with oversize toroidal power transformers and high quality components. The 550a takes this one stage further with a revised output stage featuring Sanken transistors - a brand renowned for their quality. A new ALPS volume control also enhances the sound. It may seem like a small component, but a quality volume control is essential for a balanced, even sound. Perhaps most importantly of all, Cambridge Audio have up-rated and re-tuned the CAP5 protection system. Whilst it offers the same unwavering speaker protection as before, the new system is more transparent and has a positive effect upon the sound quality. The results of this extensive upgrade give the 550a a dynamic yet refined sound quality that's happy with a wide range of musical genres.
When it comes to connecting the 550a up, you'll find it an accommodating choice. A front-mounted socket is on hand for your MP3 player whilst the rear of the amp houses six inputs with two tape loops. Two, optional, stand alone phono pre-amplifiers (the 540P and 640P) cater for vinyl lovers. Two sets of switchable speaker sockets allow you to use a second set of speakers in another room.
The Cambridge Audio 540a was always one of the best built and looking amplifiers at its price range and little has changed here. New to the Cambridge 550a are high contrast buttons and a sleeker, flush-fitting aluminium front panel. Finally, whether you choose black or silver, the 550a is one green amplifier! With a standby power consumption of less than 1W, the 550a is EnergyStar approved for its frugal use of power.
Smooth new looks wrapped around smart new technology; the Cambridge Azur 550a is back at the top!
