About the Azur 350A

The Cambridge Audio Azur 350A is a 2-channel integrated amplifier introduced around 2010, designed to offer refined sound quality and versatile connectivity at an accessible price. It delivers 45 watts per channel into 8 ohms with low distortion (<0.02% at 1kHz, 80% power) and a wide frequency response of 5Hz to 50kHz. The amplifier features a high-quality ALPS black box film volume potentiometer for excellent channel balance, especially at low volumes, and an oversized toroidal transformer for low noise and high power stability. Tone controls (bass, treble, balance) allow subtle frequency adjustments and can be bypassed via a Direct switch for the shortest signal path. Connectivity includes five line-level inputs, a tape input, a 3.5mm front panel MP3 input, a 1/4" headphone output, and two sets of speaker terminals. The supplied Navigator remote supports iPod control (except Shuffle) and key amplifier functions, though power must be switched on/off manually on the unit. The amplifier is housed in a brushed aluminum case with a solid, quality feel, measuring 86 x 430 x 340 mm and weighing 6 kg. It does not include a built-in phono preamp or digital inputs, focusing on analog purity and straightforward operation. The Azur 350A is praised for its transparent sound, accurate bass, and convenience, making it a strong contender in its price range around MSRP.
