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  
TM  
For instance, separate very high quality Integrated Circuit Amplifiers  
modules are used for each channel for freedom from crosstalk and best  
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.

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13 amp mains plug  
fitted with a 3 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important  
that a 3 amp one is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable  
for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug  
fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of  
safely, as insertion into a 13 amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.  
Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord the wires  
should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains  
lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying  
the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows:  
This equipment must be switched off when not in use and must not be used unless

cover (or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to  
qualified service personnel. If the power cord is fitted with a moulded mains plug  
the unit must not be used if the plastic fuse carrier is not in place. Should you lose  
the fuse carrier the correct part must be reordered from your Cambridge Audio  
dealer.  
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral  
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated  
‘dangerous voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be of  
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to  
persons.  
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be  
connected to the terminal which is marked  
with the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.  
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be  
connected to the terminal which is marked  
with the letter ‘Lor coloured RED.  
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert  
the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance  
instructions in the service literature relevant to this appliance.

the other 5 inputs. For the 5 normal inputs, the source selected for  
listening to will be sent out of Rec Out for recording. The source currently  
being listened to and (optionally) recorded is then shown on the front  
panel by a corresponding blue LED.  
1 Aux, CD, Tuner/DAB, DVD, AV/MD  
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.

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.
