Cambridge Audio Azur 650T

The 650T is everything you could ever need from a hi-fi tuner.

Featuring DAB+ technology, the 650T means you can not only enjoy regular DAB stations but also reap the benefits of new DAB+ digital broadcasts in even higher quality thanks to support for the latest HE-AAC audio format.

DAB+ is already available in Denmark and Australia with many other countries currently testing and trialling the system. In the meantime, countries which currently receive DAB broadcasts can continue to enjoy these on their 650T tuner. You can read more about the benefits of DAB+ here

The move to DAB+ can also enable far more stations to share the airwaves leading to greater choice.

And whilst digital radio’s convenience is indisputable, there’s no escaping the quality of FM broadcasts. To this end, the 650T has a neat trick up its sleeve; completely separate analogue domain FM/AM tuners! FM sound quality is truly exceptional and separate DAB, FM and AM antenna connections ensure the optimal aerial can be used for each band.

And in a period when you’re thinking harder about the value of your purchases and genuinely considering the environmental impact of them, the 650T - like Azur amplifiers and CD players - benefits from Cambridge Audio’s Energy Star approved eco-friendly standby circuit.

This amazing design means the 650T consumes less than one watt in standby mode but critically... results in absolutely no sound degradation. So great news for your pocket and the environment too!

In addition to these sonic and environmental benefits, the new Azur range has a completely fresh look. The 650T features a redesigned casework featuring a new high contrast reverse display, a thicker brushed aluminium front panel, a seamless wrap-over lid assembly and dual-layer damped feet, all of which contribute to better resonance control.

The timeless aesthetic is an elegant evolution of the original Azur design and benefits from increased solidity and substantially improved ergonomics.
