Inleiding
Thank you for purchasing your Azur 351A. We are confident that you will
enjoy many years of listening pleasure from it. Like all Cambridge Audio
products, the Azur 351A adheres to three core principles - stunning
performance, ease of use and incredible value.
The design of a high quality but cost-effective audio amplifier presents a
major challenge. Providing first-class performance on an unlimited budget is
one matter; achieving the same performance within tight price limits is quite
another, and requires all the expertise and experience that Cambridge Audio
brings to its product design process. We believe we have succeeded in our
aim of creating a first-class affordable amplifier.
In this product separate very high quality Integrated Circuit Amplifiers are
used for each channel for freedom from crosstalk and best possible stereo
imaging.
Close attention has been paid to the performance and quality of the passive
components, both in the signal paths and for decoupling purposes. A Very
high-quality black box film type volume pot from ALPS has been specified for
its superior sound quality and excellent channel balance.
The power supply is also a vital part of any power amplifier. A toroidal
transformer, selected for low external magnetic field, is used in conjunction
with generously specified reservoir capacitors and optimally placed
decoupling components.
The 351A incorporates tone controls that give subtle control of the
frequency response, allowing the correction of imperfect source material,
and compensation for loudspeaker inadequacies or problems with room
acoustics. These tone controls can be switched completely out of the audio
path by use of the DIRECT switch, to give the shortest possible audio path.
The 351A has full protection against misuse and possible faults. The overload
and short-circuit protection systems continuously monitor the voltage,
current and temperature of the output devices, allowing the protection to act
positively in case of need, without triggering spuriously.
Our a new casework design is featured with a thicker braced front panel,
more rigid wrap-over lid assembly and dual-layer damped feet, all of which
contribute to better resonance control.
An MP3/Portable Media Player input has been fitted to the front panel for
convenience, and the supplied remote can control the amplifier, any of our
matching CD players and basic functionality of iPods in our own or Apple
docks.
Your amplifier can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please
do not compromise on your source equipment, speakers or cabling. Naturally,
we particularly recommend models from the Cambridge Audio Azur range,
which have been designed to the same exacting standards as our amplifiers.
Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects
to ensure your system realises its full potential.
