Cambridge Audio Releases the New Edge M Monoblock Power Amplifier
50-year-old audio company, Cambridge Audio has announced the release of the new Edge M power amplifier. The Edge M has focused on minimalistic features; the Edge series trademark curved extruded aluminum front and front top plate present across both boxes. Balanced and unbalanced inputs are provided, along with speaker outputs, and fine audio engineering is done inside.
The company has designed the Edge M by taking the principle design of the existing Edge W power amplifier and applied it to the monoblock design. The Edge M is said to deliver twice the power and dynamic sound with less distortion.
Cambridge Audio focuses on delivering effortless dynamics and less strained sound. The power output is doubled to 200W RMS into 8 Ohms. Being fully balanced from input to output, the Edge M is immune from noise and distortion.
Edge M delivers an impressively detailed three-dimensional sound with striking staging and focus. For a finely balanced and remarkable sonic performance, Cambridge Audio’s engineers have designed this amplifier. To minimize the number of components in Edge M’s signal path, delivering more faithful reproduction of the original recording.
The Edge M has the unique Class XA amplification format previously found in Edge A and Edge W amplifiers. Cambridge Audio’s Class XA amplification technology offers the sound quality of a Class A design. The Edge M monoblock produces less heat and shifts the crossover point out of audible range for a cleaner sound.
To avoid stray electromagnetic interference, Edge M uses an opposing symmetry twin toroidal transfer design. The amplifier offers power while simultaneously maintains consistent tonality even at loud volumes. Edge M monoblock power amplifier can be paired with other Edge components in Cambridge Audio’s Edge series.
