Moving up the Azur amplifier league, the 540A benefits from a custom designed oversized toroidal transformer and short path circuitry, while
a completely new amplifier topology for low levels of distortion. Packing a mighty 50 watts at eight Ohms, the 540A is a clear leader in
budget amplifier circles offering a huge mumber of features and a build quality to embarrass more expensive rivals.
Electronics sit on a foundation plate to achieve maximum support and acoustic damping. Constant monitoring by the intelligent proprietary
CAP5™ protection circuit checks for overloads or faults, while clipping detection reduces volume levels if a problem is detected.
The 540A features full remote control and a second set of speaker outputs means the 540A can be enjoyed in more than one room. Six inputs
with two tape loops are provided and two stand alone phono pre-amplifiers (the 540P and 640P) cater for vinyl lovers.
