340A/340A SE Integrated amplifier
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Azur 340A or 340A SE
integrated amplifier.
The 340A has full protection against misuse and possible faults. The
overload and short-circuit protection systems continuously monitor the
voltage, current and temperature of the output devices, allowing the
protection to act positively in case of need, without triggering spuriously.
About the 340A
The design of a high quality but cost-effective audio amplifier presents
a major challenge. Providing first-class performance on an unlimited
budget is one matter; achieving the same performance within tight price
limits is quite another, and requires the expertise and experience that
Cambridge Audio brings to its product design process. We believe we
have succeeded in our aim of creating a first-class affordable amplifier.
About the 340A SE
The 340A Special Edition incorporates all the features of the 340A but
also has larger PSU reservoir capacitors for slightly more power coupled
to enhanced bass response and greater dynamics.
In addition the 340A SE has a convenient dedicated front mounted

possible stereo imaging.
auxiliary MP3/iPod input for gaining the best possible sound quality
from portable music players. This input is automatically selected when
something is plugged into it.
The power supply is also a vital part of a power amplifier. A toroidal
transformer, selected for low external magnetic field, is used in
conjunction with generously specified reservoir capacitors and optimally
placed decoupling components.
Your amplifier can only be as good as the system it is connected to.
Please do not compromise on your source equipment, speakers or
cabling. Naturally we particularly recommend models from the
Cambridge Audio Azur range, which have been designed to the same
exacting standards as our amplifiers. Your dealer can also supply
excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system
realises its full potential.
Close attention has been paid to the performance and quality of the
passive components used, both in the signal paths and for decoupling
purposes.
Thanks for taking the time to read this manual, we do recommend you
keep it for future reference.
The 340A incorporates tone controls that give subtle control of the
frequency response, allowing the correction of imperfect source
material, and compensation for loudspeaker inadequacies or problems
with room acoustics. These tone controls can be switched completely
out of the audio path by use of the DIRECT switch, to give the shortest
possible audio path.

These inputs are suitable for any 'line level' source equipment such as
CD players, DAB or FM/AM tuners etc.
Note: These inputs are for analog audio signals only. They should not be
connected to the digital output of a CD player or any other digital device.
However, when the Tape Mon Input is selected a second LED will
illuminate indicating that the Tape Monitor Input is now being listened to
with a different source being sent out of the Rec output for recording.
The recording source is shown by the first LED and can be changed by
pressing the other source buttons. To switch Tape Monitor off, simply
press the Tape Mon button again, toggling this function off.
2 Record Out
This socket can be connected to a tape deck or to the analog Record In
sockets on a MiniDisc or CD recorder.
This feature is most useful when using 3-head analog cassette decks
which allow the signal being recorded to be played back live off tape (via
a 3rd head) whilst it is simultaneously recorded. It is then possible by
toggling the Tape Monitor input on and off to compare directly in real
time the original and recorded signal so that adjustments to the
recording parameters of the tape machine can be made (consult the
manual of your 3-head analog cassette deck for full details).
3 Tape In
Connect to a tape deck or to the analog output sockets on a MiniDisc,
portable digital music player or CD recorder using an interconnect cable
from the recorder's Line Out sockets to the amplifier's Tape In sockets.
The Tape Input circuit of the amplifier is a "monitor" type, different from

4 Loudspeaker terminals
Two sets of loudspeaker terminals are available, A (main loudspeaker
terminals) and B (secondary switchable loudspeaker terminals).
Connect the wires from your left channel loudspeaker to the LEFT + & -
terminals, and the wires from the right channel loudspeaker to the
RIGHT + & - terminals. In each case, the red terminal is the positive
output and the black terminal is the negative output.
Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire are shorting speaker
outputs together. Please ensure that the loudspeaker terminals have been
tightened adequately to provide a good electrical connection. It is possible
for the sound quality to be affected if the screw terminals are loose.
Note: When using one pair of speakers, use speakers with a nominal
impedance of between 4-8 ohms. When using two pairs of speakers,
use speakers with a nominal impedance of between 6-8 ohms each.

Balance
This control gives the audio signal a more direct path to the power
amplifier stage of your amplifier, bypassing the tone control circuits for
the purest possible sound quality.
This control allows you to adjust the relative output levels of the left and
right channels. In the central position the output from each channel is
equal. This control only modifies the sound through your loudspeakers
and the Pre-Out sockets, it does not affect the signals sent through the
Tape Out connections.
6 Bass and Treble
These controls allow subtle adjustments to the tonal balance of the
sound. In the central position these controls have no effect. These
controls only modify the sound through your loudspeakers and the Pre-
Out sockets, they do not affect the signals sent through the Tape Out
connections. With a well produced CD and a good system the tone
controls are unnecessary and can be switched out by the Direct switch.
If the musical recording is of poor quality or other factors are affecting
the sound quality, it may be necessary to adjust the tone controls to
compensate.

340A/340A SE Integrated amplifier
PROTECTION SYSTEM
The Azur 340A/340A SE protection system comprises of:
Remedy - Ensure ventilation is not obstructed, and loudspeakers are not
of too low impedance. Switch the amplifier off for 15 minutes to cool
down if necessary.
1. Overload and Short-Circuit Protection
Indicator - Output distorted and at unexpectedly low level.
3. DC offset protection
Description - The amplifier is fully protected against excessively low load
impedances. The overload and short-circuit protection systems
continuously monitor the voltage, current and temperature conditions of
each of the output devices, and comparing them with the defined Safe
Operating Area or SOA. This sophisticated system allows the protection
to act positively in case of genuine necessity, but without false
triggering.
Indicator - Amplifier will not operate; all input LEDs are flashing.
Description - The DC offset protection system immediately isolates the
amplifier from the loudspeakers by positively opening an output relay, in
the unlikely event of an amplifier fault. Errors of either polarity on both
channels are detected.
Remedy - This can sometimes be triggered by excessive mains noise etc;
if so switching the unit off and on again will reset it. If unit will not reset
then there is an amplifier fault that will require servicing. Switch the unit
off and contact your dealer.
Remedy - Check loudspeaker impedance is not too low. Very often
loudspeakers of too low an impedance can be driven at low levels but
not high levels.
2. Over temperature detection
4. Voltage clamping
Indicator - Output appears to cut out frequently, independently on the
When rapid transients are applied to reactive loads in extreme
circumstances, flyback pulses can be generated which are larger than
the amplifier supply rail voltages and have the potential to cause harm
to the output devices. The amplifier has a comprehensive voltage
clamping system that ensures that such pulses are safely absorbed by
the amplifier and no damage can result.
two channels.
Description - The instantaneous temperatures of the output devices of
the amplifier are continuously monitored to ensure that junction
temperatures do not get dangerously high. When an over temperature
condition occurs, the output is muted until the devices cool. The
operation is carefully controlled to minimise the exposure of the output
devices to wide temperature variations, which can impair reliability by
thermal cycling. This is accomplished by making the muting periods
relatively short, so the amplifier appears to be turning on and off. This
puts the least stress on the output devices.
