Cambridge Audio Evo 150

All-in-one simplicity – just add speakers
Combining streaming smarts and high-class amplification in one box means Evo only needs wiring to mains power and to speakers to serve up thrilling sound quality.

Streaming music from Evo means saying 'goodbye' to metres and metres of connection cables, and 'hello' to intuitive, straightforward functionality in one sleek, good-looking box.

EVO ease set-up
Easy to set up, easy to use
It couldn't be simpler. Plug Evo into the mains, wire it to your speakers. Then fire up your favourite music streaming service on a smartphone, tablet or wherever and connect to Evo using the app, Bluetooth or Evo's built-in streaming service support. Pick a tune, press 'play' and adjust the volume to your taste.

Thanks to Evo's big 6.8in high-resolution display, you can even enjoy bright, clear and detailed album artwork when you're listening to a streaming service.


StreamMagic app
The StreamMagic app offers comprehensive control of the entire Evo system, plus access to the world's most popular and highest-quality music streaming services. It's clear, logical and stable - so Evo will do precisely what you want it to, rapidly and accurately, from wherever you are in your home.

Of course, you might prefer the app of your favourite music streaming service - if that's your preference, no problem. Evo will be just as responsive to your inputs and commands.


Great connectivity
Thanks to its suite of digital and analogue inputs, Evo is ready for you to add your favourite sources - a turntable, say, or CD player - and build a wider system. Even video sources can join in - just connect your TV's HDMI ARC output to Evo's ARC input.

No matter where your music's coming from, Evo will make it sound its best.


Bluetooth convenience. HD sound quality
Nothing's easier or simpler than streaming via Bluetooth. Evo takes it to the max by using aptX HD Bluetooth - which is wireless, high-definition music streaming with flawless transmission and incredibly realistic, convincing sound.

Evo delivers all the wireless convenience you want, with none of the sonic compromises.


Free your headphones
As well as featuring a 3.5mm output for headphones, Evo is also a Bluetooth transmitter - so if you'd rather do your private listening on wireless headphones, Evo has you covered.


Great British Sound
Evo uses the very best components, such as ESS Sabre 32bit high resolution DACs - and then we bring every one of our 50+ years of audio know-how to bear. The result is the Great British Sound we are renowned for.


Complete control
Evo is intuitive and straightforward to operate, no matter if you're using its full-function remote control, its simple and elegant control app, or the physical controls and big, bright, detailed display on its fascia.


Neat and easy placement
Just 305mm wide, Evo will sit neatly wherever you need it to. But thanks to its beautiful design and all-around good looks, it really deserves centre-stage.


Great for record players
If you want to connect a turntable, Evo 150's built-in phono stage is perfectly convenient for those record players without an internal pre-amp.
