If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period of time, unplug it
from the mains socket.
Overloading
Some countries and US states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages or implied warranties so the above
exclusions may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may have other statutory rights, which vary from state to
state or country to country.
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cord as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed
power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are
dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard.
Be sure to insert each power cord securely. To prevent hum and noise, do
not bundle the interconnect leads with the power cord or speaker leads.
Cleaning
Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only)
To clean the unit, wipe its case with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any
cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray
an aerosol at or near the unit.
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a UK mains plug fitted
with a 13 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that
a 13 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 mains 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:
Battery disposal
Please dispose of any discharged batteries according to local
environmental/electronic waste disposal guidelines.
Loudspeakers
Before making any connections to loudspeakers, make sure all power is
turned off and only use suitable interconnects.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.
Servicing
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.
These units are not user serviceable, never attempt to repair,
disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A
serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure is
ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your dealer.
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW
must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.
If a standard 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 13 amp fuse must be fitted, or if
any other type of plug is used a 5 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or
adaptor, or on the distribution board.

Thank you for purchasing this Azur 840W Class XD™ power amplifier.
We hope that you will enjoy many years of listening pleasure from it.
The 840W features our unique proprietary amplifier topology; Class XD,
designed to eliminate crossover distortion at low signal levels.
By actively displacing the crossover point this technology creates a
region of pure Class-A operation where the crossover zone would
otherwise be before moving into an enhanced form of Class B at higher
levels. It should not be confused with Class AB, which gives a small area
of Class A, but at the cost of higher distortion as soon as the signal level
moves outside the AB area. Class XD circuitry not only removes
crossover distortion from the zero-crossing point but also reduces
distortion in other parts of the amplifier's output range.
A white paper on this patent pending technology is available on our
website: www.cambridge-audio.com
Please note that because of the Class XD technology the 840W runs
slightly warmer than a conventional Class B/AB amplifier and the
ventilation slots on the top of the unit must not be obstructed.
Other features include a low resonance acoustically damped chassis for
freedom from distortion inducing vibrations. Four pairs of very high
current output transistors per output are used for excellent load driving
ability, plus the unique fifth output transistor pair per channel that
provides the business end of the Class XD circuitry. High quality
polypropylene signal capacitors are used throughout, whilst multiple
gold plated copper bus-bars provide very low impedance conduits for the
power circuits and all resistors are 1% tolerance metal-film types.
Balanced audio input connections are fitted for the highest fidelity and
all inputs have loop outputs. The loop outputs can be used with the
840W’s Bi-Amp Mono and Bridged-Mono modes to allow two or more
840Ws to be used in very high quality systems.
The 840W features separate transformer secondaries for left and right
channels, twin rectifiers and separate PSUs for dual mono operation of
the left and right power amplifiers.
Your power amplifier can only be as good as the system it is connected
to. Please do not compromise on your pre-amplifier, source equipment,
speakers or cabling. Naturally we recommend models from the
Cambridge Audio Azur range, particularly the matching 840E pre-
amplifier. These have been designed to the same exacting standards as
this amplifier. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge
Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full potential.
Thank you for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend
you keep it for future reference.

Loudspeaker terminals
Mono mode switch
For normal wiring, 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.
When Mono mode has been selected, switches the 840W between Bi-
Amped Mono and Bridged Mono. Refer to later sections of this manual
for more information.
7
Control Bus
Other dual mono schemes are also possible if two 840Ws are used.
Refer to later sections of this manual for more information.
In - Allows un-modulated commands from multi-room systems or other
components to be received by the unit.
Use speakers with a nominal impedance of between 4-8 ohms. Care
should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire short the
loudspeaker outputs together. Please ensure that the loudspeaker
terminals have been tightened completely to provide a good electrical
connection. It is also possible for the sound quality to be affected if the
screw terminals are loose.
Out - Loop out for Control Bus commands to another unit.
The 840W can also be switched between On and Standby mode by
connecting the Control Bus output of an 840E pre-amplifier to the
Control Bus input of the 840W. Refer to the ‘Power syncing’ section of
this manual for more information.
Audio input types
8
Trigger In, Out/Thru
The 840W features either unbalanced (phono/RCA) or balanced (XLR)
input connections. Either type may be used but not both at the same
time. The balanced connection is the higher quality option and can
reject noise and interference in the cable when used with other
equipment that supports this function. An XLR connector is wired Pin 1
- Ground; Pin 2 - Hot (in-phase); Pin 3 - Cold (phase-inverted).
For Custom Install use, the 840W can be turned on and off (i.e. brought
in and out of Standby mode) by the presence of 5-12V DC at the Trigger
input. A trigger input will also produce an internally generated 12V DC
trigger output at the Output/Thru connection. Turning the 840W on from
the front panel also produces a 12V DC trigger output at the
Output/Thru connection. This can be used to turn on/Standby other
connected power amplifiers or other equipment if desired. Refer to the
‘Power syncing’ section of this manual for more information.
Use the Left and Right Input Type switch (Item 4) to select the
connection type you wish to use. When using either the balanced or
unbalanced input, make sure that no cables or equipment are
connected to the unused input, as this may degrade operation. The
unused input does not need to be terminated and this should not be
done.
9
IR (Infra-Red) Emitter In
Allows modulated IR commands from multi-room systems or IR repeater
systems to be received by the unit. Commands received here are not
looped out of the Control Bus. Refer to the ‘Custom installation’ section
for more information.
2
Balanced Audio
For connection to the balanced XLR outputs of suitable pre-amplifiers
that have this kind of output (such as our own 840E model). The pre-
amplifier used should be capable of providing at least 1V rms of output
per phase (i.e. at both of + and – terminals of the XLR, more is also
fine). Nearly all modern pre-amplifiers fulfill this requirement.

AC power socket
Once you have completed all connections to the unit, plug the AC power
cable into an appropriate mains socket then switch on. Your unit is now
ready for use.

Power On/Off
For connection to the normal (single ended) RCA/Phono outputs of a
suitable pre-amplifier (such as our own 840E model). The pre-amplifier
used should be capable of providing at least 1V rms of output (more is
fine). Nearly all modern pre-amplifiers fulfil this requirement.
Switches the unit on and off. If the 840W is not going to be used for long
periods of time it should be turned off using this switch.
4 Input Type switch
Use to select a balanced or unbalanced connection type for the input.
5
Stereo/Mono mode switch
Switches the 840W between ‘normal’ Stereo operation (where one
840W is used for a pair of speakers) and Mono operation (where two
840W’s are used one for each speaker). Refer to later sections of this
manual for more information.

Connections
The 840W features both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA/Phono) output connections. For the best quality we recommend you use the balanced
output with pre-amplifiers that feature this connection (such as our own 840E Pre-Amplifier).
Before making any connections to loudspeakers, make sure all power is turned off and only use suitable interconnects (e.g. banana plugs). Ensure that
the positive (+) and negative (-) connections are matched. Your loudspeaker may have more than one pair of connecting terminals; LF (Low Frequency)
and HF (High Frequency). For single-wiring it is recommended to connect to the LF terminals. The metal strip connecting the low-frequency terminals to
the high-frequency terminals must not be removed (only to be removed for a bi-wiring system).
Unbalanced stereo connections
The diagram below shows the 840W connected to an 840E using the
Unbalanced Audio inputs via phono/RCA connectors, single wired to a
pair of loudspeakers.
When using unbalanced (phono/RCA) connections, the Left and Right
Input Type switches on the 840W must be in the ‘Unbalanced’ position.
Note: In this configuration the 840W must be set to Stereo mode.

Power syncing (On/Standby control)
When going in/out of Standby mode the Azur 840E pre-amplifier can (if
desired) automatically control the 840W when connected via the Control
Bus sockets (the Control Bus sockets are colour-coded orange on the
rear panels of compatible Azur models). For this feature to work the
units must be connected together by RCA/phono leads. No further setup
is necessary.
Note: The 840E features a Trigger Out which can alternatively be used
to control the 840W’s Standby/On status if desired. Again, the
procedure is simply to connect the two units together (using a 3.5mm to
3.5mm mono mini-jack lead in this case).
Control Bus is the recommended method when using an 840E and other
Cambridge Audio equipment with Control Bus In/Out.
Connect the Control Bus Out from the 840E to the Control Bus In on the
840W. Continue the chain to other Azur models if it is required to sync
more units (refer to the 840E’s own manual for more information as this
requires some setup).
Trigger In/Out can be useful if the 840W (and indeed 840E) is desired
to be controlled by other equipment that features trigger outputs
(Custom install and/or Multi-Room Systems etc).

Advanced connections
As well as normal single-wired stereo operation (whether balanced or unbalanced), several other modes of operation are possible; Bi-wired Stereo, Bi-
Amped Mono and Bridged Mono and others.
In all of the following examples either balanced or unbalanced connections can be used, the principle is exactly the same for each type of connection.
For simplicity, we will show only the balanced connections in each example.
Bi-wired stereo connections
The diagram below shows the 840W connected to an 840E bi-wired to
a pair of loudspeakers.
Note: In this configuration the 840W must be set to Stereo mode.
IMPORTANT! The metal strip connecting the low-frequency terminals to
the high-frequency terminals must be removed for a bi-wiring system.

The 840W features a Control Bus input/output
that allow un-modulated remote control
commands (positive logic, TTL level) to be received
electrically by the unit and looped to another unit
if desired. These control commands are typically
Power Output - Stereo/Mono 200W per channel 8 Ohms
350W per channel 4 Ohms
Power Output - Bridged Mono 500W 8 Ohms
800W 4 Ohms
generated by custom installation (multi-room) systems or remote IR
receiver systems. The Control Bus sockets are colour-coded orange.
THD (unweighted)
< 0.001% 1kHz
< 0.005% 20Hz - 20kHz
An IR Emitter Input is also provided that allows modulated IR remote
control commands to be received electrically by the unit. Commands on
this input operate the unit only and are not looped out demodulated on
the Control Bus Output.
Frequency Response
5Hz - 80kHz -1dB
S/N ratio (ref 1W/8 Ohm)
> 90 dB (unweighted)
The unit responds to ‘direct’ IR/Control codes as well as toggle codes for
some features to simplify programming custom installation systems.
Special direct On/Off and Mute commands can be accessed from the
840E pre-amplifier remote control for teaching into C.I. systems as
follows:

1. Press and hold the Standby/On button. The remote first generates a
standby (toggle) command. Keep the button held down, after 12
seconds an amplifier “On” command will be generated. If the button
is kept held down for a further 12 seconds, an amplifier player “Off”
command is generated.
