The new 340A amplifier brings unprecedented levels of refinement, build quality and incredibly low levels of distortion to the hotly-contested budget amplifier arena.

A custom designed, oversized low-flux toroidal transformer enables the 340A to deliver an impressive 40 watts per channel into 8 Ohms. An exceptionally low-noise preamp stage with sophisticated input switching technology complete the package and make the 340A the budget amplifier to beat.

The robust construction of the 340A is enhanced by a solid aluminium front panel and is available in black or silver. The 340A offers a full complement of functions including five line level inputs with one tape loop, by-passable bass and treble controls and a headphone output. A second set of speaker outputs completes the impressive feature count.

Cambridge-Audio's trademark aluminium faced Azur remote handset provides full function control and can also be used to operate any Azur compact disc player or amplifier. The 340A can be matched to the 340C to form a highly specified budget hi-fi separates system.
