Cambridge Audio - MXW70 - Compact Power Amplifier
The Cambridge Audio MXW70 is a compact, high-performance power amplifier designed for audiophiles who want powerful sound in a sleek, space-saving form. As part of Cambridge Audio’s modular MX series, the MXW70 combines premium Class-D amplification with smart design, making it ideal for modern stereo setups or as part of a stacked system with streamers and DACs.
Despite its half-width chassis, the MXW70 delivers impressive power—70W per channel into 8 ohms and 125W into 4 ohms in stereo mode. For more demanding setups, it can be bridged into a mono configuration to output 250W into 8 ohms. This flexibility allows users to drive a wide range of loudspeakers or even bi-amp for increased performance.
At its heart, the MXW70 features Hypex NCORE Class-D amplifier modules, highly regarded for their accuracy and low distortion. These modules have been fine-tuned by Cambridge Audio’s engineers in London to achieve a rich, dynamic, and transparent sound signature, suitable for both critical listening and everyday enjoyment.
Connectivity is versatile, with both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, as well as high-quality speaker terminals for secure connections. The MXW70 also includes a 12V trigger input and pass-through for integration with other components, making power management seamless in larger systems. A USB port is provided to facilitate control via the StreamMagic app when paired with compatible devices like the MXN10 network player.
Aesthetically, the MXW70 is finished in Cambridge Audio’s elegant Lunar Grey, with a minimalist aluminum front panel and compact footprint that fits beautifully on a desk, shelf, or in a rack with other half-width MX components. It is the perfect match in both style and function for the MXN10 streamer and DacMagic 200M DAC.
With premium performance, flexible configuration options, and compact form, the MXW70 is a powerful centerpiece for any music lover building a high-end yet minimalist hi-fi system.
