Cambridge Audio 640h Music Server

"Wild West Electronics is proud to be an authorized Cambridge Audio dealer"

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 640H Music Server Product Summary:

The Azur 640H music server is an audiophile quality hard-disk server which incorporates the high-quality CD player from the Azur 640C and allows you to load your entire music collection onto the 160GB hard drive.

Built on Cambridge Audio’s proprietary AudioFile technology, the Azur 640H music server can access music stored on any PC or Mac when used with a wireless or wired network. Multiple Azur 640H music servers can even be linked so that content on each can be seamlessly accessed by each other. You can even use its wireless capability to effortlessly create a multi-room hi-fi system.

The Azur 640H music server can download songs from internet services, transfer music to and from hard disk portables or stream directly via the Internet, for example playing one of the thousands of net radio stations. When connected to a broadband network, the Azur 640H music server instantly retrieves artist, album and track information using an advanced web-based look-up system.

The Azur 640H music server has been carefully designed to keep audio electronics completely separate from higher noise electronics such as power supplies. This enables the Azur 640H to deliver infinitely superior audio output.

Like the multi-award-winning 640C, the 640H music server features a Wolfson chip and filter for huge dynamic range, clarity and low distortion. An audiophile toroidal oversize transformer is used where most competitors use a PC power supply.

And, like the rest of the Azur range, the Cambridge Audio 640H Music server employs a specially designed low resonance, acoustically damped chassis which takes in a thick aluminium front panel for ultimate rigidity. Available in black or silver, the 640H also features a full function bespoke remote control with hot keys and alphanumeric keys to enable you to search your music collection alphabetically – either by album, track or genre.

What is AudioFile technology?

AudioFile is a suite of proprietary embedded software developed to manage storage, transfer and playback of music in a real hi-fi environment.

What does AudioFile offer me over a CD player?

- Rip your entire music collection to the 160GB hard drive
- Burn content to CD-R/CD-RW
- Share and stream music from your PC or Mac
- Wireless capability to effortlessly create a multi-room hi-fi system
- Simple on-screen user interface
- and... An audiophile quality CD player

All the hi-fi expertise you'd expect from Cambridge Audio

AudioFile technology leverages Cambridge Audio’s expertise in delivering superior hi-fi quality output, storing content in an innovative way to optimise the delivery of content. Unlike a PC or widely available music streamers, AudioFile is designed as a hi-fi separate and offers instant start-up and shut-down. It uses an audiophile grade DAC (digital to analogue converter) not a soundcard to infinitely superior effect.

Scalable as your music collection grows

AudioFile technology allows you to connect two or more AudioFile powered units together for increased hard drive space. Content from one unit can then be seamlessly accessed by another, either wirelessly using approved wireless adaptors or via a wired network.

Hugely versatile

AudioFile technology allows you to connect with and access music held on your PC or Mac, burn CD-Rs with your favourite playlists and even connect an MP3 player to upload or download music.

Internet radio

AudioFile technology includes an on-board Internet radio function and a broadband connection providing streamed audio and access to thousands of internet radio stations across the globe.

And all from the comfort of your armchair

AudioFile technology provides full system control using the clear LCD display or AudioFile’s comprehensive on-screen display through your TV using the remote control provided. AudioFile’s web-based lookup feature means you can automatically assign artist, album and track information to your entire collection.
