A white LED dot matrix display confirms listening source, and separate tone controls mean you can adjust the sound to suit your taste. There’s a large ¼” (6.35mm) headphone socket too, ideal for high-quality listening without disturbing those who might not share your great taste in music.     Your Journey into Sound AXA35 is the ideal amp to begin listening to music and really appreciating it – hearing detail in familiar tunes you’ve previously missed. That’s down to the toroidal transformer it uses, a tech found higher up our range. Choose a pair of speakers to suit your taste, perhaps they’ve been in the family for years or maybe something from our SX Series.     Release the Wheels of Steel The built-in phono stage is the ace up AXA35’s sleeve. It means that you can plug a turntable straight in without any extra kit. Moving magnet (MM) compatibility means AXA35 works with a wide variety of turntables – including that vintage one you’ve had your eye on. Soon you’ll be playing the records you’ve been saving for, and planning what to buy next.     Setting the Tone With separate bass and treble controls, you can fine-tune AXA35’s sound to suit your taste, speakers and room dynamics. The volume level is shown on the LED dot matrix display, and with 35 watts per channel you’ll have plenty of kick for smaller to medium sized rooms.         Wired for Sound AXA35 is a well-connected amp, with no less than 4 pairs of RCA inputs, plus a pair of phono sockets for a turntable and a pair of recording outputs. There’s a rear USB socket for technical upgrades. Hi-fi quality speaker binding posts (connectors), compatible for banana plugs, mean that thick cable connects securely for an authentic sound.         Designed for Life As with the rest of AX Series, AXA35 shares our house-style of Lunar Grey minimalist fascia, black steel cabinet and ‘floating’ base. This timeless look enables an upgrade path through our range. A slim build, in the classic 430mm hi-fi width, also means that AXA35 can easily slot, and breathe new life, into a much-loved system.       REVIEW & AWARDS  "If the low frequency response is surprising, the mid-range response is astonishing and that's what sets the AXA35 apart from all its competitors"   Cambridge Audio AXA35 review - Read More "You’ll struggle to find a more confident-sounding stereo amp for the money" -  What Hi-Fi?   Cambridge Audio AXA35/AXC35 - Read More “A very capable amplifier from a long-standing master of the concept, the AXA35 gets a great deal right” -  Hi-Fi Choice   Cambridge Audio AXA35 Review - Read More "AXA35 marks itself out as hi-fi piece that gives a confident and self-assured performance" -  Simon Lucas   Cambridge Audio AXA35 review - Read More "I am extremely happy with this amplifier.
