Cambridge Audio EVO 150
Tomorrow’s Hi-Fi, Today
With Evo 150, we’ve brought your audio past and present into the future. With outstanding Hypex NCore Class D amplification and our class-leading StreamMagic streaming platform on board - all you need to do is add speakers to enjoy superb high-resolution audio quality from one elegant, discreet box.
And thanks to its suite of digital and analogue inputs, as well as its high-quality digital-to-analogue convertor, Evo can be the heart of your hi-fi system for years to come.
Easy to Set up, Easy to Upgrade
It couldn’t be simpler. Connect Evo 150 to the mains and to your speakers. Open StreamMagic, to connect to the network, then fire up your favourite music streaming service. Pick a tune, press play and adjust the volume to suit. When you're ready, you can dig deeper to set Evo 150 up just how you want it, adding functionality as you go.
StreamMagic App
Our StreamMagic app offers full control of Evo, plus access to the world’s most popular and high resolution music streaming services. It’s clear, logical and stable - so Evo will do precisely what you want. Alternatively, you may prefer to use the app of your favourite streaming service. Evo's ready for you to listen whichever way you choose.
Connectivity to Suit Your Needs
Thanks to its suite of digital and analogue inputs, including a built-in phono stage, Evo can be the heart of your system - add a turntable, say, or EVO CD. Video sources can play too, just connect your TV’s HDMI output to Evo’s ARC input. No matter where your music comes from, Evo 150's ready for it.
Bluetooth Convenience. Hi-Res Sound Quality
Often nothing’s more convenient than streaming via Bluetooth. Evo takes it to the max with aptX HD Bluetooth - which features wireless, high-definition music streaming from compatible devices - including our Alva turntables. And because Evo also transmits with Bluetooth aptx HD, it's perfect for private listening on compatible Hi-Res wireless headphones.
Made By Music
Evo 150 uses the best audio components, like the ESS SABRE ES9018k2m Reference DAC. And then we bring every one of our 55+ years of audio know-how to bear. The result is a performance that celebrates the talent of musicians and producers and retains the original raw emotive power and detail.
Complete Control
Evo is intuitive and straightforward to operate, no matter if you're using its supplied remote control, or our simple yet throrough StreamMagic app, or its physical controls - including the large dual-concentric dial, on the unit's fascia.
Neat and Easy Placement
At 317mm wide, roughly the size of an album vinyl sleeve, Evo will sit neatly where you need it to. But thanks to its award winning deisgn and all-around good looks, it really deserves to be centre stage.
Great for Record Lovers
If you want to connect a turntable, Evo 150's built-in phono stage makes it perfect for decks with with moving magnet cartridges, but no integral pre-amp. That's on top of Bluetooth compatibility with our own Alva turntables.
A New Life for CD
Available separately, Evo CD is the compact disc transport developed to exclusively partner Evo all-in-one players. It shares the same eye-catching design, is crafted from the same premium materials and is engineered to the same exacting standards. Evo CD extracts every piece of musical detail from your discs, then passes it seamlessly to Evo. Your CD collection is now set to join the hi-fi evolution.
Designed to Thrill, Built to Last
