Cambridge Audio History

Cambridge Audio has been at the forefront of British hi-fi for more than thirty five years. Since its inception in 1968, Cambridge Audio has brought some of the most innovative and technologically advanced products to market.

During the ‘70s, the P40, P50 and P110 amplifiers established the international reputation of the Cambridge Audio brand. The ‘80s saw Cambridge Audio launch the world’s first two-box CD player. In the ‘90s, the DacMagic was the first product in the company’s history to win an esteemed What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Best Buy award. The new Millennium saw Cambridge Audio continue to innovate with its award winning DAB digital tuners and of course the highly-acclaimed Azur range.

Cambridge Audio has a philosophy of using only the finest quality components, all models are developed using state-of-the-art test and measurement equipment and feature the latest technology. This commitment to engineering excellence, combined with state of the art manufacturing facilities, means every Cambridge Audio product offers the best possible performance. Prior to launch, all designs undergo rigorous evaluation involving meticulous listening and fine tuning.

But the main reason for Cambridge Audio's success... their people. They employ nearly 80 colleagues, the majority at the London headquarters, including over 20 engineers in a dedicated research and development facility. Every member of the Cambridge team shares the same passion for hi-fi and home cinema as you – the customer. That’s why Cambridge always go the extra mile to make sure they only produce products they're proud enough to take home – and they can be trusted to do so!

Cambridge Audio products are distributed in over 45 countries and the company turns over in excess of $40 million.
