Powerful enough for the most demanding systems yet refined for long-term listening enjoyment, the Cambridge Audio EXA100 delivers deeply satisfying sound.
Advanced amp with the power to impress Three years in the making and drawing on technology from the flagship Edge range, the Cambridge Audio EXA100 amplifier is both muscular and refined. With an impressive 100 watts per channel, there’s ample power, even for the largest rooms and most demanding music. The built-in ESS SABRE32 DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) facilitates Hi-Res sound, bringing digital music to life. Connect everything from your TV via HDMI eARC to your Bluetooth turntable using the aptX HD input.
Powerful output for room-filling sound Drawing on technology from the flagship Edge M amp, the EXA100 offers an expansive and muscular sound quality. With 100 watts per channel from its Class AB amp, there’s enough grunt to power the most dynamic music to its full potential – even in larger rooms.
Smooth and detailed More than just a powerhouse, the EXA100 uses hand-picked components mounted to a four-layer circuit board for precise, carefully tuned audio. As a result of thousands of hours of testing, the amp has incredible detail and precision, with vanishingly low levels of distortion.
High precision, digital conversion Featuring a top quality ESS Sabre32 DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) at its heart, the EXA100 makes the ideal match for your digital components. Connect a media device via USB and your CD player, streamer and games console using the coaxial and two optical inputs. Thanks to being the latest spec DAC, every digital component you connect gets a boost in sound quality, with enhanced scale and lower distortion.
Connect your TV via HDMI It’s not just music sources that benefit from the amp’s impressive sound, it could be your TV, too. Simply connect via the HDMI eARC socket and super-charge your TV’s sound by running it through your hi-fi system. What’s more, with the HDMI socket being eARC compliant, you’ll be able to maintain the TV’s volume via its remote control, rather than having to switch between two remotes.
High resolution wireless streaming via Bluetooth aptX HD With a Bluetooth aptX HD receiver built in, you can wirelessly pair with a music device and enjoy high quality sound over Bluetooth. Pair with your smartphone for a quick and easy link or, even better, match with a Bluetooth turntable, such as Cambridge Audio’s Alva and enjoy the best in vinyl, played through your digital music system.
Wide range of connectivity, including balanced XLR Delivering a studio-quality connection with compatible sources, the EXA100 features XLR balanced inputs. Ideal for longer connections, balanced XLR cables reduce interference, promoting a much smoother and less distorted sound.
The perfect partner for the EXN100 Partner the EXA100 with the matching EXN100 network streamer and you get the perfect paring. Matching aesthetics gives a cohesive style, but there’s much more to the pairing than that. Use the EXN100’s Preamp Mode to connect to the EXA100’s dedicated Power Amp Mode and you bypass the amp’s pre-amp, giving a purer and less distorted sound. For ease of use, you can also use a single remote to control both devices.
Luxurious style and finish Featuring the premium EX-series chassis, the EXA100 has the looks and style to match its sound quality. A top quality milled aluminium facia fronts a highly rigid, low-resonance chassis. The expertly engineered casing helps shield the player from both mechanical and electrical interference, helping to improve clarity and reduce background noise. Isolating feet help adsorb vibration for a further reduction in distortion.

”As for Monitor Audio's Studio 89, they are talented and engaging performers that excel in clarity, precision and resolution.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
A classic remastered Inspired by Monitor Audio’s premium 1980s speakers, the Studio 89 offers something unique in the range. Exquisitely crafted and eye-catching in design, these compact speakers are much more than a mere style statement. Using technology developed for its flagship speakers, the Studio 89s produce a remarkably consistent sound, right across the frequency response. The exceptionally lifelike balance brings you closer to your music.
MPD III tweeter units for stunning top-end resolution Derived from the flagship Platinum range, MPD III tweeters use a Micro Pleated Diaphragm to deliver stunning top-end detail. By pleating the tweeter’s shape, the surface area is increased eight-fold. Working by squeezing the pleats, like a super-fast accordion, gives the treble an incredible response – right up to an incredible 60,000Hz. What this means is you get uncompressed harmonics for a spacious and lifelike top-end performance.
Striking mid-range and punchy bass performance Using RDT III (Rigid Diaphragm Technology), the twin woofer units deliver power with accuracy. The C-CAM cones reflect Monitor Audio’s long heritage with metal cone technology and are just as beneficial today as they were in the ‘80s. Metal cones are light yet extremely rigid, meaning they’re quick to respond, giving you an agile and punchy sound.
Luxury finish The Studio 89’s are finished in a deep gloss-black paint with gold-coloured drivers and highlights. This stunning design not only pays homage to the original Studio 15 speakers but also looks every bit as luxurious today.
Discover just how capable compact speakers can sound, with the talented Monitor Audio Studio 89.
