Description

The A&R Cambridge A60 Amplifier delivers unsurpassed sound quality and performs with its legendary reliability. It is presented in a highly attractive but appealingly restrained cabinet that will continue to please for years to come. This equipment is genuinely in a class of its own.

The A60 can accept any magnetic or moving coil cartridge. The cartridge may be optimally matched by the addition of a switchable loading module and, in the case of a low output moving coil cartridge, the internally fitted MC 60 pre-amplifier board.

All the inputs to the A60 have high overload margins so that almost any input source can be accepted without distortion. A switchable high frequency filter is fitted to reduce the noise from scratches on old records and stereo FM noise on tuners.

The bass and treble controls have been designed so that deficiencies in some small speakers and cartridges may be corrected without coloration of the mid frequency band. All input sockets have high quality silver plated contacts for minimum noise.

The loudspeakers are connected via heavy duty screw terminals which can accept either bare wires or 4mm plugs. Although the speaker sockets are wired directly to the amplifier outputs to obtain the best possible sound quality, switched outputs are also fitted enabling the speakers to be cut out when headphones are plugged in.

Tape recording outputs are provided from both auxiliary and tape sockets, matching the inputs of both cassette and reel-to-reel recorders. The tape button allows source / tape monitoring of the signal when using a tape recorder with separate record and playback heads, while preset replay level controls are provided so that the A and B levels can be equalised.

The amplifier section of the A60 is designed to ensure distortion free drive to loudspeakers of moderate to high efficiency in the most demanding of home listening environments. Maximum power is typically 40 watts per channel into 8 ohm speakers. Electronic protection in the power output stages safeguards against any incorrect loads or short circuits.
