Cambridge Audio Azur 540R V2.0

 

The 540R V.2 is designed to maximise multi-channel performance without compromising on stereo reproduction. As such, the six 80W discrete amplifiers are kept as separate as possible from the processing and input stages. An oversized power supply ensures that the 540R V2.0 can maintainain a high power output into even difficult speaker loads to ensure a powerful and effortless sound. 

 

Designed to deliver the most outstanding home cinema experience, the 540R 6.1 AV receiver marked Cambridge Audio’s foray into home cinema amplifiers when it was launched. Since its debut, the 540R has won numerous awards and has been subject to some excellent reviews from the world’s hi-fi press. Many praise its musical ability, extolling its virtues across music and movie sources.

 

Technologically, the 540R benefits from the finest components including a Crystal DSP (Digital Sound Processor) and multi DAC. It’s also compatible with the all the latest home cinema formats and packs a mighty 100 watts per channel in two channel mode and 80 watts per channel when powering a six channel set-up.

 

The on-board FM/MW RDS tuner has also been praised by the press for its great reception and ease of use. It offers 30 station presets making access to your favourite stations a breeze.

 

Elegantly housed in stylish new casework, with a solid aluminium front panel and acoustically damped chassis, the 540R affords an impressive array of features and functions. The ergonomic remote control, which comes as standard, is perfectly contoured and controls all the features of this AV powerhouse.

 

The 540R features a host of inputs and outputs to provide flexible connectivity and set-up. A full range of video switching options allows the amplifier to act as a hub for composite, S-VHS and component video sources, enabling simultaneous picture and sound control.

 

It’s time to say goodbye to yesterday’s AV system and hear how the Azur 540R can revolutionise your Home Cinema experience.
