Amplifier Section

Stereo Amplifier: The Cambridge Audio SR10 stereo receiver employs a fully-discrete, high-power, bipolar-transistor based, power amplifier rated at a true 85 watts RMS x 2-channels. The amplifier can handle impedances between 4 and 8 ohms.

A/B Speakers: The Cambridge Audio SR10 is equipped with A & B speaker terminals to connect two pair of loudspeakers or bi-wire a single pair of loudspeakers. You can select which speaker outputs are heard - A speaker only, B speaker only, A+B speaker, or Off. The amplifier can support a 4-ohm load when driving only one pair of speakers. The amplifier can support an 8-ohm load when driving two pair of speakers.

Rugged Chassis Design: The Cambridge Audio SR10 stereo receiver has been carefully designed with a brushed aluminum front-panel, rigid metal chassis, and internal bracing to prevent resonance and improve sound quality.

Toroidal Transformer: The Cambridge Audio SR10 stereo receiver utilizes a custom low-flux toroidal transformer for audiophile performance.

Cooling Fan: The Cambridge Audio SR10 features a very quiet speed-controlled cooling fan to keep the receiver operating at a normal temperature for consistent performance and outstanding reliability.

Tuner Functions

AM/FM Tuner: The Cambridge Audio SR10 stereo receiver features a built-in AM/FM with manual, seek, and preset tuning.

RDS: The built-in AM/FM tuner features RDS for station name display on FM stations that support this function.;

Preset Tuning: You can store up to 30 AM/FM station presets (15 each).

Mono Mode: For low quality stereo FM signals, selecting the Mono mode can reduce the noise and improve reception.

Controls

LCD: The Cambridge Audio SR10 stereo receiver features a front-panel LCD for the display of information, such as the selected input source, station identification, volume, and tone/balance level.

Volume Control: The Cambridge Audio SR10 features a front-panel rotary dial to increase or decrease the level (-80 to 0) of the sound from the speakers outputs and headphone output of the unit. You can also use the included remote control to adjust the volume level.

Tone Control: The Cambridge Audio SR10 offers Bass (100Hz) and Treble (20kHz) controls which are adjustable from -10 to +10dB. The unit also allows you to balance the unit's speaker outputs left-to-right (+/-10).

Remote Control: The Cambridge Audio SR10 comes supplied with an IR remote control for wireless operation (Power/Menu/Source/Volume) of the integrated amplifier. The included remote control will also operate playback function of the Cambridge Audio CD10 CD player (779CD10, sold separately).

Connections

4 Rear-Panel Inputs: The Cambridge Audio SR10 stereo receiver is equipped with 5 rear-panel analog stereo RCA inputs (MP3/Aux, CD, Phono, BD/DVD). These analog stereo RCA terminals are suited for any line-level source.

Phono Input: This input has a built-in phono stage. Turntables fitted with a moving magnet (MM) or high-output moving coil (MC) cartridge can be used.

Front-Panel Input: The Cambridge Audio SR10 stereo receiver features a front-panel 3.5mm auxiliary input for temporary connection of a portable digital audio player.

Record Output: The stereo receiver's analog stereo RCA record output lets you connect a tape recorder or CD-burner. The unit's record output is not affected by the volume control or tone adjustments.

Binding Posts: The Cambridge Audio stereo receiver is equipped with 8 binding-post speaker terminals to connect two pair of bookshelf or floor-standing loudspeakers. The binding-post terminals will accept bare wire, pin-connectors, and banana plugs (single/dual). The binding post terminals are color-coded (red/black) to distinguish positive and negative.

Headphone Output: The Cambridge Audio SR10 stereo receiver is equipped with a front-panel 1/4" headphone socket for connection of a set of headphones. The amplifier's speaker outputs are muted when headphones are connected.

Detachable IEC Power Cord: The Cambridge Audio SR10 stereo receiver includes a detachable 5' IEC power cord.
