P500 OWNERS’ CERTIFICATE
Dear Cambridge Audio Owner,
Thank you for purchasing this P500 Power Amplifier.
At Cambridge Audio we are dedicated to the manufacture of quality audio products of the highest possible value. Coupled with its perfect partner, the C500 Control Amplifier, your P500 is capable of true hi-end performance without the inflated price tag normally associated with hi-end equipment. We have achieved this by careful design, thorough attention to detail, streamlined production techniques and by listening to our customers. We are grateful that you have selected this product and would welcome any comments that you may have.
The P500 design adheres to the principles of true hi-fi, with a dedicated high current dual stabilised power supply, resulting in an amplifier with a staggering price performance ratio. Signal paths within the amplifier are all as short as possible and the topology is fully optimised to give a great sound stage and dynamic freely flowing sound.
The P500’s maximum output power of 55 watts rms into 6Ω, is capable of delivering generous amounts of
current, allowing it to drive a wide range of speakers and sound a lot more powerful than its specification might suggest. Inclusions such as a custom designed tight-wind low-flux toroidal transformer, metal film resistors, multiple audio grade capacitors and a high efficiency custom heatsink further reinforce this amplifier’s audiophile identity.
No corners have been cut concerning build quality, with the amplifier’s solid aluminium facia not only providing a classy finish, but also contributing to overall chassis rigidity.
On behalf of Cambridge Audio, may I wish you many happy years of listening pleasure!
James Johnson-Flint
Chairman
