INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio azur range CD player. It is the result of our most extensive ever research and development program in over three decades of producing quality audio products. We hope that you will appreciate the results and enjoy many years of listening pleasure.
About this unit
The azur range utilises a highly advanced control system that has been custom designed for Cambridge Audio. At the heart of this system is a VLSI (very large scale integration) circuit which dynamically adjusts the focusing, tracking and output level of the laser for the maximum retrieval of digital information. Some models also feature separate digital and analogue stabilised power supplies and high quality clock modules, employing jitter regulation, which are coupled to the latest Wolfson DACs and digital filters to give an outstanding level of performance and reliability.
This attention to detail has resulted in CD players that are convincing in the reproduction of both tonal colour and dynamic contrast, deliver a vibrant and fluid performance with music of all types and are therefore musically very involving.
To gain the greatest musical rewards from this equipment we would encourage you to use only high quality amplification and revealing loudspeakers. We particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge Audio azur range, which has been designed to the same exacting standards as our CD players.
Interconnects and speaker cables are also something that shouldn't be overlooked. Please do not compromise your system's performance by
540C/640C Compact disc player
using poor quality cables to connect your azur Compact Disk player to your amplifier or the amplifiers output to your loudspeakers. A system is only as good as its weakest link. For this reason we do not include cheap "freebie" cables with any of our units. Your dealer can supply quality Cambridge Audio interconnects that will ensure your whole system realises its full potential.
Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!
