Cambridge Audio Azur 840W Technical Specifications

Azur 840W Class XD Power Amplifier

The 840W is a high-end power amplifier that has been
designed by the same team behind the 840A and uses an
evolution of Cambridge Audio's hugely innovative Class
XD™ technology for a highly detailed naturally musical
performance. The second generation Class XD is now
complemented by a new output stage carefully adjusted to
integrate with this novel technology, along with revised
balanced input connections for lower distortion and noise
circuits. Each channel uses 2 pairs of very high output
transistors to ensure that the 840W can drive even the
most demanding load At the core of the 840W's strength
is a patent pending, Class XD (crossover displacement)

technology This unique design gives pure Class A operation
at low levels, moving smoothly into an enhanced version of
Class B at higher levels.
The 840W delivers an impressive 200 watts per channel in
stereo mode, and can be bridged to output a massive 500
