Effortless Power Without Distortion
Using standard Class A amplifier technology wasn’t going to cut it for the Edge W. Instead, Cambridge Audio added a bias voltage to a traditional Class AB design, reducing distortion to inaudible levels. This unique configuration not only produces less heat but also makes the entire system more efficient. You get all the power you need without compromising on sound quality.
