Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Topaz AM1 or AM5 Stereo Amplifier. We are confident that you will enjoy many years of listening pleasure from it. Like all Cambridge Audio products, the AM1 and AM5 adhere to our three core principles – stunning performance, ease of use and incredible value.

The unit can support a wide range of sources with the Topaz AM5 having a front panel MP3/Portable Media Player input that allows use with the headphone or line-level outputs of most portable players.

Part of our new Topaz range this product also features a new casework design with braced front panel, rigid wrap-over lid assembly and carefully designed mechanicals for resonance control.

Your amplifier can only be as good as the system it is connected to.

Please do not compromise on the quality of your source equipment, speakers or cabling. Naturally, we particularly recommend source and speaker models from the Cambridge Audio range, which have been designed to the same exacting standards as this product. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full potential.

Thank you for taking the time to read this manual; we recommend you keep it for future reference.
