Cambridge Audio MXW70 Compact Power Amplifier

The Cambridge Audio MXW70 Compact Power Amplifier is a marvel of miniaturization, designed to bring audiophile-grade muscle to the most compact of systems. Perfectly sized to match the award-winning MXN10 network player and DacMagic 200M, this half-width component proves that you don't need a massive footprint to enjoy massive sound. Beneath its sleek Lunar Grey aluminium casework beats the heart of a high-efficiency Hypex NCORE Class D amplifier, delivering refined, dynamic power that can drive even difficult speakers with effortless authority.

KEY FEATURES

• Musical Muscle: Delivers 70 Watts per channel (8 Ohms) for a powerful, controlled performance.
• Hypex NCORE Class D: Industry-leading amplification technology ensures low distortion and high efficiency.
• Bridgeable Power: Can be bridged into mono mode to unleash a massive 250 Watts (8 Ohms) for demanding setups.
• Compact Casework: Half-width design (215mm wide) allows for discreet placement on desktops or in AV racks.
• Balanced Inputs: Features premium XLR inputs for noise-free, studio-grade signal transmission.
• Smart Integration: Includes 12V trigger input and pass-through for synchronized power control with other components.

SMALL YET MIGHTY

The MXW70 is the answer for music lovers who demand high-fidelity sound but lack the space for traditional full-size separates. Designed in London, its robust all-metal chassis is not just aesthetically pleasing but also engineered to minimize vibration. Despite measuring just 215mm in width, it offers the same build quality and sonic performance expected from Cambridge Audio's larger components, making it the ideal foundation for a modern, space-saving hi-fi system.

POWER APLENTY

Utilizing Hypex NCORE Class D technology, the MXW70 offers a listening experience that is both powerful and refined. In stereo mode, it provides a solid 70W per channel, more than enough to drive most bookshelf and floorstanding speakers. For those seeking the ultimate upgrade path, the amplifier can be bridged to function as a 250W monoblock. This flexibility allows you to start with a single stereo amp and later add a second MXW70 for a dual-mono configuration that delivers breathtaking dynamics and headroom.

WIRED FOR EXCELLENCE

To ensure the purest possible signal path, the MXW70 is equipped with both standard RCA and balanced XLR inputs. Using the XLR connection with a compatible source, such as the DacMagic 200M, eliminates electrical interference and ground loops, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed sound. The rear panel also features high-quality binding posts for secure speaker connections and a 12V trigger loop, allowing the amp to power up automatically when you switch on your streamer or DAC.
