Cambridge EXA100 – Integrated Amplifier
Cambridge Audio EX Series – EXA100 Integrated Amp
We wanted more. For us; for you; for the music. We spent three years – 1000+ days, including countless hours of listening sessions – making more happen, in the all-new shape of the EX Series. The EXN100 music streamer and EXA100 integrated amplifier are a serious step up from our CX Series, taking you and your music closer to the reference-level performance of the flagship Edge range, from which they draw significant trickledown technology. Aficionados may also recognise the EX Series as the spiritual successor to the iconic Azur 851. If you know you know. But for every nod to our proud heritage, the EX Series offers something new: from its stunning design to its pioneering feature-set. Start enjoying more.
- Best-in-Class Sound: Amplifier tech inspired by our flagship Edge M monobloc delivers an incredibly wide, detailed soundstage. Be moved by your music like never before.
- Power With Control: 100 Watts per channel of perfectly tuned Class AB amplification skilfully drives even the most demanding speakers with ease.
- Digital Connectivity: Get your TV, CD, USB drives and more connected via HDMI eARC, TOSLINK, Coaxial & USB Audio digital inputs
- Balanced XLR Inputs: Enjoy the best possible analogue sound quality with these premium analogue connections.
- ESS ES9018K2M SABRE32 DAC: For exceptional digital-to-analogue conversion; tuned in London like no other for peak performance.
- Bluetooth aptX HD: Wirelessly connect devices such as the Alva TT V2 turntable and stream in glorious hi-def quality.
- Power Amp Mode: For use with a dedicated external preamp or as part of a multi-channel system.
- Dual Speaker Zones: Why limit the fun to just one room? Two sets of speaker outputs offer a second zone option.
Overview
The Power of Three
The beating heart of EX, our EXA100 integrated amplifier took three years to develop; more than a thousand dedicated days of tuning at our London HQ has created a massive step up in power and performance from the CX Series amps. An amplifier for the modern age, lovingly Made By Music.
Different Class
Boosted by trickledown technology from our flagship Edge M monobloc power amplifier, EXA100 uses its 100W of beautifully refined Class AB amplification to drive even high-end speakers with ease. Effortless power with bags of control.
Sounding Great Since 1968
Back in the Summer of Love, our P40 amplifier was the very first to feature a toroidal transformer – and transformed audio forever. EXA100’s advanced toroidal transformer is amply shielded, super-quiet and flanked by heavy-duty heat sinks for impeccable performance that’s more than worthy of extending the P40 legacy.
Shout Out to My EX
The EXA100 lets you listen how and wherever you want, in sublime quality. Balanced XLR inputs offer a premium analogue connection, while two sets of speaker outputs can power music in two different rooms. Bass-heads can even add a subwoofer to the dedicated pre-out. With EX, you get a world of listening possibilities.
Digital Love
From its exceptional hi-res DAC to the HDMI eARC input and Bluetooth aptX HD, EXA100 is a digital audio powerhouse. Whatever music service or source device you choose, EXA100 will breathe new life into your digital sounds.
A Strong Look
Our innovation doesn’t stop on the inside: the EXA100 has a stunning new design, complete with a milled aluminium front panel and a tactile knurled volume knob you can’t keep your hands off. This jaw-dropping amp looks as powerful as it sounds.
Power to the People
Switch it to Power Amp Mode and the EXA100 pairs brilliantly with any pre-amp, giving flexibility you never knew you needed – whether in a stereo or multi-channel system.
And The Beat Goes On
To ensure a longer, happier listening life for our amps and the speakers they power, we developed an exceptional proprietary protection system, CAP. It uses an array of different methods to detect potential issues, such as power and temperature overloads, and take preventive action. So you can just relax and enjoy the music, worry-free.
Everything and Then Some
From its precision build to the technology inside, the EXA100 is gloriously over-engineered. Whether it’s a four-layer PCB or a reservoir capacitor, every component is specially selected and expertly implemented. We sweat the small stuff; it matters.
