Azur 840E pre amplifier Summary

Cambridge Audio has taken the Azur 840 series to its peak with the introduction of two new models – the 840E pre-amplifier and 840W power amplifier. The 840E is a high-end pre-amplifier which uses Cambridge Audio’s new proprietary Terrapin™ modules for unprecedented audio fidelity forming the perfect partner for the accompanying 840W power amplifier. A customisable front panel display means tone controls can be selected and stored by nameable input. Volume, input and tone are also all controlled by highly sophisticated relay driven circuits.

Rather than use common op-amps for the critical low level gain stages of the 840E (and 840W) Cambridge Audio instead decided to design its own audiophile amplifier modules. The subject of a separate research and development project these unique modules have been designed with single minded dedication to the very best audio performance possible. Two types exist, the TPA amplifier and TPB buffer module fully optimised for their respective roles. Nicknamed the Terrapins (because of their 10 pins) they add yet another dimension to Cambridge Audio’s commitment to audio excellence.

A sophisticated resistor ladder and relay based attenuator for volume (1dB steps) and balance controls allows remarkably accurate volume control with channel balance. Each channel has its own relays and ladder for superb stereo separation and imaging. This kind of feature is normally the preserve of exotic high-end equipment and is relatively unheard of at this price point

As the pre-amp has its own power supply, it operates in complete isolation to the power amplifier and does not suffer from any interference, something which is also aided by two balanced inputs.

The 840E features an extremely attractive and user friendly front panel display which is customisable to show which input is selected.

The Azur 840E makes room for eight inputs, two of which have both fully balanced (XLR) and unbalanced connections, ideal for use with the Azur 840C upsampling CD player. These inputs can be named as desired by the user on the custom-designed display to show CD, MP3, Phono etc.

Completing the rear panel is an RS232 control port, and multi-room outputs to connect the 840E to custom installations. This plethora of connections enables complete integration with multi-room entertainment systems including two way interface with touchscreen control panels. Alternatively, the 840E is Incognito Ready™. This means that two additional rooms can access the source components connected to the 840E via Cambridge Audio’s Incognito system amplified keypads and passive speakers or active in-ceiling speakers. An independent Incognito power supply links to the 840E, enabling audio and low voltage power to be transmitted to each Incognito keypad using only one run of CAT5 cable.


As with all Azur products, the foundation of the 840E’s excellence is a bespoke chassis. This comprises an incredibly thick 7mm front panel and extruded side panels, both fashioned from aluminium, which combine with a 2mm formed steel base plate and specially designed vibration absorbing feet. The result is an ultra rigid, low resonance, acoustically dampened platform for the electronics to sit in.

The 840E is available in either silver or black and comes complete with the latest elegant, slim-line navigator style Azur remote handset offering full control of Azur CD players, Incognito keypads and discrete commands for custom install use. As an additional facet, all Cambridge Audio remotes feature iPod™ Command – which means that basic iPod controls such as volume and track select can be controlled from the comfort of the user’s sofa. This boon requires the use of an Apple or other universal dock.

Azur 840E pre amplifier Press Review

"... the Cambridge combo remains faithful to the recording, yet is neutral enough to be a solid recommendation for just about all loudspeaker/source combinations. Welcome to the big league, Cambridge Audio; you’ve certainly turned up with your best game."

Tone (New Zealand) January/February 2009



"The 840E and 840W represent two of the most satisfying debuts in recent years."

HVT (Netherlands) January 2009

"Its sound is well-thought and has something, that makes us wanting to listen to music, and not to the equipment. If this does not convince you, then I do not know what could…"

"The Cambridge Audio Azur 840E/W pre-amp and power amp get just about everything right. They're built to very high standards, feature innovative technology, are simple to operate, and are equipped with plenty of features. Most of all, they sound musical. And that's the most important talent of all."

Audio Video (South Africa) November 2008




"Y así es, con el todo superando la suma de la partes y unas posibilidades operativas absolutamente fuera de lo común en realizaciones de su precio. En consecuencia, se impone una recomendación entusiasta... “qué menos!”"

"... the 840 Series' performance far outweighs the sum of its parts... the multitude of possible set-up options are unheard of at this price and for that reason they are whole heartedly recommended."

Alta Fidelidad (Spain) November 2008

"Truly accomplished pre-power combination with massive authority and breathtaking dynamics at the price."

Hi-Fi World October 2008



"두말 할 필요가 없는 좋은 결과....특별히 흠잡을 부분이 없을 만큼 인상적인 소리를 냈다."

"Needless to say, it is a great result... It delivers an impressive sound which is above criticism."

Audio (Korea) September 2008

(Reviewed with Azur 840C upsampling CD player and 840W power amplifier)


"The 840E/W combo offers great imaging and smoothness, and enough watts to give a good feeling of dynamic headroom with averagely sensative speakers. Cambridge has come up with a one-two punch that will be hard to beat. It would be impossible not to recommend this impressive combination."

Hi-Fi News August 2008


"The new 840E/W represent a new era for Cambridge Audio in terms of price and performance. Audiophiles who aspire to the high end but only have modest spending power will welcome the performance per pound the duo offers, too."

"제한된 금액 내에서 Cambridge Audio는 이 두 덩이의 앰프에 최고의 기술을 담아 넣었다... 그런 앰프들에서 느껴볼 수 없었던 강력함이 무엇인지를 느끼게 해줄 것이다."

"Cambridge Audio has put its best technologies to date into these two units and for a very low price..."

What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision (Korea) June 2008





"캠브리지 시스템이 내어주는 소리의 가장 큰 덕목은 그 공간감이라 할 수 있겠는데... 라이브로 녹음된 음원의 현장감을 묘사하는 데 있어서 아주 일품이었다고 판단되었다... DVD를 감상해보았다...현장감을 표현하는 다양한 음향효과를 설득력있게 제시할 뿐만 아니라...연기의 열정 같은 것을 청각적으로 표현하는 게 인상적이었다."

"The biggest benefit from the Cambridge Audio system (840E&W) is the sense of space... It was able to express the realism of live sound... with DVD it presented the realism and surround effects persuasively... I was impressed that I could feel the passion of the actor's performance just by listening"

Audio (Korea) May 2008

(Reviewed with the Azur 840W Class XD power amplifier)



"Un préamplificateur haut de gamme qui en donne beaucoup pour son argent."

"Top of the range pre amp which offers much for the money."

Son et Image (Canada) March/April 2008






"The 840E is an inexpensive, sophisticated and flexible high-end pre amplifier. Software driven nameable display, triggers, RS232 and multi-room capability allow many uses, but its outstanding sound sets it apart."
