POWERFUL, HI-FI SOUND QUALITY
When it comes to sound quality, the Cambridge Audio 651R is very much a receiver of two halves. In terms of brute power, a mighty 100 watts per channel (8 ohms with all 7 channels driven) is ample to see even the most demanding sound tracks are powered along with real verve. Yet, unlike some rivals, the 651R is also capable of great musical subtlety and sensitivity. Cambridge Audio put sound quality at the very top of their priorities. Using fully discrete amplifiers which are kept separate from the processing and input stages, the 651R sounds more precise and detailed than rivals. Individual crossovers for each speaker and Advanced Bass Management also ensure noise distortion is kept to a minimum. Then there's the substantial power supply and toroidal transformer - an expensive component that's critical to a real piece of audio equipment. This helps provide a deep, sustained bass response as well as punchy dynamics. Something else key to the 651R's audiophile pedigree is Cambridge Audio's proprietary Forced / Convection Heat Tunnel - X-Tract. This custom design enables the 651R to operate extremely quietly and at a low temperature. A perfectly balanced combination of forced cooling and natural convection effectively draws heat away from the 651R's main transformer and output stages and removes distracting fan noise at low volume levels.
POWERFUL PROCESSING INCLUDING ANCHOR BAY UPSCALER
The Anchor Bay ABT2010 chipset upscales any video source to 1080p Full HD definition. This boosts the picture quality of many sources and helps you get the most out of your Full HD TV. Also, the 651R features a unique bypass mode. By disabling the upscaler, the problems associated with the signal being upscaled by first the source and then the receiver are alleviated. Using dual Texas Instruments 32-bit DSPs, Cambridge Audio has enabled full support for Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD and Dolby True HD formats. DTS speaker re-mapping allows the playback of DTS-HD High Resolution or Master Audio formats with encoded height information on standard 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 speaker setups.
ZONE 2 WITH "FOLLOW MAIN" FUNCTION
As with many rivals, the 651R features a Zone 2 setting for listening to music in another room. However, unlike others, the Cambridge Audio lets you listen to digital as well as analogue sources in another room. Thanks to the "Follow Main" function, the 651R can simultaneously play music from a digital audio device, including one using HDMI, in two zones. This feature is currently unique to Cambridge Audio receivers and gives great versatility, which is why Cambridge Audio even supply a second remote control for use in the second zone.
EASY TO SET-UP AND USE WITH AUDYSSEY EQ
With a raft of Audyssey processors onboard, living with the 651R is easy. Audyssey 2EQ helps speaker set-up by measuring your room's acoustics and adjusting the settings to suit. Dynamic Loudness maintains a bass presence, whatever the volume so you can get the 'feel' of an action movie, even at low volume levels. Finally, Dynamic Volume compensates for changes in volume, such as during commercial breaks, to give a more even volume level.
EFFORTLESS STYLE
To ensure that the 651R looks every bit as good as it sounds, it uses the company's impressive wrap-around casework and thick, aluminium front panel. This doesn't just look good, it helps the sound quality, too. With class-leading rigidity and low resonance as part of the design, the 651R resists both mechanical and electrical interference. A highly ergonomic navigator remote handset also offers full control of the 651BD and 751BD Blu-ray players and vice versa.
