About Cambridge Audio:
Cambridge Audio has been at the forefront of
British hi-fi for more than thirty five years. Since its inception in 1968,
Cambridge Audio has brought some of the most innovative and technologically
advanced products to market.
During the ‘70s, the P40, P50 and P110 amplifiers established the
international reputation of the Cambridge Audio brand. The ‘80s saw Cambridge
Audio launch the world’s first two-box CD player. In the ‘90s, the DacMagic
was the first product in the company’s history to win an esteemed What Hi-Fi?
Sound and Vision Best Buy award. The new Millennium saw Cambridge Audio
continue to innovate with its award winning DAB digital tuners and of course the
highly-acclaimed Azur range.
Cambridge Audio has a philosophy of using only the finest quality components,
all models are developed using state-of-the-art test and measurement equipment
and feature the latest technology. This commitment to engineering excellence,
combined with state of the art manufacturing facilities, means every Cambridge
Audio product offers the best possible performance. Prior to launch, all designs
undergo rigorous evaluation involving meticulous listening and fine tuning.
But the main reason for Cambridge Audio's success... our people. We employ
nearly 80 colleagues, the majority at our London headquarters, including over 20
engineers in a dedicated research and development facility. Every member of our
team shares the same passion for hi-fi and home cinema as you – our customers.
That’s why we always go the extra mile to make sure we only produce products
we're proud enough to take home – and trust us we do!
Cambridge Audio products are distributed in over 45 countries and the company
turns over in excess of $40 million.
About Cambridge Audio Azur Range:
Cambridge Audio’s Azur range of hi-fi
electronics was introduced in 2003. It was the company’s first completely new
series of products for nearly five years. While Cambridge Audio had an enviable
reputation for engineering quality components at great prices, it was felt a new
series was needed to tackle the demands of the new millennium.
Our engineers were given a clean slate from which to work. They went back to the
drawing board intent on building the ultimate series of electronics. Azur has
been designed from the ground up and takes in many innovative, proprietary
technologies. All the years of painstaking audiophile research and development
has paid off. Azur is by far and away the most critically acclaimed range of
hi-fi and home cinema components Cambridge Audio has ever introduced.
The Azur name is also your guarantee of the class leading performance. Don’t
take our word for it, the rapturous applause Azur has received from the
world’s hi-fi press is testament to the performance, build quality and value
for money featured in the latest Cambridge Audio range.
Cambridge Audio Azur 340C CD Player Product
Summary:
Like its bigger brothers, the 340C delivers class
leading performance but this time, at an even more competitive price point. The
elegant design uses proven high quality Sony laser optics and the same Cambridge
Audio servo circuitry as found in the award-winning 540C and 640C players.
These and a raft of other technologies guarantee a wonderful performance,
whatever disc you spin.
The chassis of the 340C ensures minimal resonance to ensure ultimate sonic
performance and is enhanced by a solid aluminium front panel. Like all Azur
units, the 340C is available in black or silver.
And if sonic excellence alone isn't enough, the highly specified 340C offers
both optical and electrical digital outputs, along with a stunning aluminium
faced Azur remote control.
This provides full function control of the 340C and any of the complementing
Azur amplifiers including the 340A to which it ideally matches to form a truly
incredible budget set-up.
