      Edge A Integrated Amplifier

      Breathtaking Musicality

      Edge A is designed to bring musical detail to life. It delivers a finely balanced sound with a depth and clarity that come through with every note. We developed the system by ear, testing every component and only choosing those that blew us away. The end result is a ground-breaking arrangement that produces a much cleaner signal path and lets your music breathe. Edge A perfectly delivers our classic British sound – nothing added, nothing taken away.

      More Musical Detail

      We pioneered the use of toroidal transformers in amplifiers, which led to improved performance. In Edge we take this one step further, using opposing symmetry twin toroidal transformers. This cancels out electromagnetic interference whilst offering outstanding power and maintaining consistent tonality, no matter how loud it’s played.

      EDGE

      Effortless Power Without Distortion

      Using standard Class A amplifier technology wasn’t going to be efficient enough for Edge A. Instead we added a bias voltage to a traditional Class AB design, reducing distortion to inaudible levels. This unique configuration also produces less heat and makes the whole system much more effective.

      EDGE

      Hi-Res Bluetooth

      Pair any Bluetooth device to your Edge A to easily stream your music. With aptX HD support, you can play your audio at up to 24-bit/48kHz quality for an incredibly rich listening experience.

      Sonic Balance

      Edge A was designed with a unique PCB. Our engineers replaced conventional capacitors with a DC coupled topology and also added a solid-state volume control. The end result is a clean signal path that’s perfectly balanced at any volume.

      I'm glad I chose this...

      I've had the Cambridge Edge for about 2 weeks and replaces a large, hot running, class a amplifier of high repute. With my 4 ohm speakers this amp has a sound that is both dynamic and refined, and to our surprise, more low-level detail than it's replacement. I was expecting less dynamics with a pair of 8 ohm speakers. I was wrong. The 8 ohm speakers reached their x-max and rattled the windows before the amp showed any sign of strain. I'll end with what I like most- I'm fussy about treble and the high frequencies sound remarkable. The upper harmonics of voices to violins are there and in proportion. With recordings that have a soundstage, the Cambridge Audio Edge does the 3D thing with ease. Thoroughly recommended.
