The Cambridge Audio CXA81 is a powerful stereo integrated amplifier designed for demanding hi-fi applications. It combines precise amplifier technology, high-quality analog signal paths, and flexible connectivity options to offer both music lovers and home theater enthusiasts an exceptionally clear and dynamic listening experience.
The CXA81 is suitable for use with a wide variety of loudspeakers, making it exceptionally versatile. Thanks to its robust output stage, optimized power supply, and high-quality components, it delivers precise reproduction with high detail and minimal distortion, even in complex musical passages. This amplifier is ideal for users who value sonic fidelity, flexibility, and superior craftsmanship.
Technology & Reinforcement
The CXA81 uses a Class AB power amplifier, which delivers a stable and powerful sound with high efficiency. The circuitry has been carefully optimized to minimize distortion and maximize dynamics.
A high-quality, toroidal power supply ensures a constant voltage for the output stages, even at high volumes. This enables precise reproduction of musical details and provides a solid, controlled bass foundation.
The analog signal processing is fully discrete, resulting in a particularly clean and unadulterated transmission from input signal to speaker output. This ensures neutral sound reproduction that respects the characteristics of the music.
Inputs & Connection Options
The CXA81 offers a wide range of analog and digital inputs. These include balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) connections for CD players, streamers, or other hi-fi components. Additionally, modern digital inputs such as TosLink (optical) and coaxial S/PDIF connections are available.
A USB DAC input allows for direct connection of computers and delivers high-resolution audio signals up to 24-bit/384 kHz. The amplifier supports a wide range of audio formats, ensuring maximum compatibility with current music sources.
The speaker terminals are high-quality gold-plated and suitable for cables with large cross-sections to ensure lossless signal transmission even over longer cable runs.
Sound character & practical experience
The CXA81 is characterized by clear, transparent, and dynamic sound reproduction. Voices and instruments are rendered precisely, and complex musical passages remain clearly audible at all times.
The power amplifier delivers a solid bass foundation, clear midrange, and defined treble. Even at high volumes, the sound remains controlled without distortion or fatiguing. The amplifier is equally suitable for classical music, rock, jazz, or electronic music, consistently providing a detailed and balanced listening experience.
The combination of powerful amplification, clean signal path and precise damping factor control enables optimal adaptation to a wide variety of loudspeakers, making the CXA81 versatile for use in stereo setups or as the heart of small home cinema systems.
