Cambridge Audio Azur 551R V2 A/V-receiver

The complete AV hub
AV receivers deliver features and effects processing, but amplification and sound quality is often an afterthought. This is because manufacturers prefer to concentrate on cramming the latest ‘flavour of the month’ feature into the product.

The Azur 551R V2 is the perfect solution for a powerful surround sound home cinema experience together with a stunning audio performance, without compromise. At Cambridge Audio we always ensure our receivers deliver the same audio performance levels as our award winning stereo amplifiers. So, the 551R V2 will give you great room-shaking movie effects, but unlike many other receivers on the market it will also deliver incredibly high-quality musical reproduction.

We only use pure audiophile components, including the high performance toroidal transformer which is why the 551R V2 is one of the most powerful AV receivers in its class.

The versatile 551R V2 caters for a wide range of set ups and systems, with six HDMI inputs for Blu-ray, gaming, or satellite TV while the six RCA connections will produce the very best audio from traditional hi-fi equipment.

It’s easy to set up, while the intuitive remote control and front panel, which includes a line input, ensures anyone can enjoy it.

Impressively all this power fits in an elegant box that’s just 110mm (4.3’’) high, so even the smallest AV units and shelves will comfortably accommodate it.

Good things come in small packages! At only 110mm (4.3’’) high the 551R V2 fits on almost all shelves and racks and is one of the most powerful AV Receivers in its class.

Home cinema Supporting surround sound speaker configurations up to 7.1, the 551R V2 outputs 110 Watts of power per channel, delivering superb power, punch and dynamics and brings movies to life in true hi-fi quality.

Hi-fi stereo The 551R V2 has been specifically designed to ensure it’s more than an AV receiver, delivering an exceptional stereo performance with a powerful 110 Watts per channel. You can connect a wide range of source equipment and enjoy high performance stereo audio. Furthermore, the front mounted MP3 connection allows anyone to quickly and easily connect an iPod or laptop to the 551R V2.

Simple setup You can easily set the 551R V2 up by yourself using the Cambridge Audio Mic Controlled (CAMCAS) auto speaker setup. For quick and simple installation in any room this system uses the supplied microphone to perform multiple measurements of the listening environment and automatically sets the receiver up for optimum use dependent on your room’s acoustics.

Twin video outputs The 551R V2 features two HDMI outputs. These can be used to run two displays at the same time; ideal if you have a screen in a second room, or want to use a projector for movies, but a TV screen for day to day use.

Support for the latest formats With the very latest technologies – including the Cirrus Logic dual 32-bit DSP for compatibility with all the latest CODECs and formats, including 4K and 3D video, the 551R V2 will handle future formats for years to come.
