Introducing the new EXA100 Integrated Stereo Amplifier

The Power of Three, from Cambridge Audio

The beating heart of Cambridge Audio's EX Series, is the EXA100 integrated stereo amplifier. Taking three years to develop; more than a thousand dedicated days of tuning at their London HQ, the EX Series has created a massive step up in power and performance from the CX Series amps.

Different Class

Boosted by trickledown technology from their flagship Edge M Mono bloc power amplifier, EXA100 uses its 100W of beautifully refined Class AB amplification to drive even high-end speakers with ease. Effortless power with bags of control.

Sounding Great Since 1968

Back in the Summer of Love, Cambridge Audio's P40 amplifier was the very first to feature a toroidal transformer – and transformed audio forever.

EXA100’s advanced toroidal transformer is amply shielded, super-quiet and flanked by heavy-duty heat sinks for impeccable performance that’s more than worthy of extending the P40 legacy.

Shout Out to My EX

The EXA100 lets you listen how and wherever you want, in sublime quality. Balanced XLR inputs offer a premium analogue connection, while two sets of speaker outputs can power music in two different rooms. Bass-heads can even add a subwoofer to the dedicated pre-out. With EX, you get a world of listening possibilities.

Digital Love

From its exceptional hi-res DAC to the HDMI eARC input and Bluetooth aptX HD, EXA100 is a digital audio powerhouse. Whatever music service or source device you choose, EXA100 will breathe new life into your digital sounds.

A Strong Look

The innovation doesn’t stop on the inside: the EXA100 has a stunning new design, complete with a milled aluminium front panel and a tactile knurled volume knob you can’t keep your hands off. This jaw-dropping amp looks as powerful as it sounds.

Power to the People

Switch it to Power Amp Mode and the EXA100 pairs brilliantly with any pre-amp, giving flexibility you never knew you needed – whether in a stereo or multi-channel system.

The Beat Goes On

To ensure a longer, happier listening life for Cambridge Audio amps and the speakers they power, they have developed an exceptional proprietary protection system, CAP.

CAP uses an array of different methods to detect potential issues, such as power and temperature overloads, and take preventive action. So you can just relax and enjoy the music, worry-free.

Everything and Then Some

From its precision build to the technology inside, the EXA100 is gloriously over-engineered. Whether it’s a four-layer PCB or a reservoir capacitor, every component is specially selected and expertly implemented. Cambridge Audio sweat the small stuff, because it matters.
