Cambridge Audio started off as a small business in the UK city of Cambridge in the 1960’s
By 1968 it was being led by Gordon Edge, a scientist with a head for a business.
Success came with the release of a quality stereo amplifier.
The P40 integrated amp was the company’s first-ever product, developed by Gordon Edge and Peter Lee, who took a simple approach with just a few transistor stages.
The P40 became the first-ever amplifier to use toroidal transformers, a nascent technology that just happened to be being manufactured by another local company at the time.
