Cambridge Audio is launching the Evo 150 SE, a special edition of its Evo 150 streaming amplifier. As part of a partnership with Hypex, Cambridge Audio has developed the NCOREx “Tuned by Cambridge” Class D amplifier technology featured in the Evo 150 SE. This allows the amplifier to deliver 150W per channel (into 8 Ohms) to all but the most demanding of speakers.
According to Cambridge Audio, improvements have been made throughout the audio signal path to hone this sound yet further. Evo 150 SE is built around the 4th generation of StreamMagic, Cambridge Audio’s streaming platform for listening across multiple services and formats.
StreamMagic enables direct streaming from Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer, Qobuz, Roon Ready, UPnP and Internet Radio over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. As Cambridge owns and develops the StreamMagic platform itself, new features and services are regularly added to improve and increase its functionality. For maximum wireless flexibility, Evo 150 SE gives the options of Bluetooth aptX HD, AirPlay 2 and Google Cast. To share music across devices all around the home, it is fully compatible with Google Home, Apple AirPlay and Roon multiroom systems.
Wired connectivity is equally well served. HDMI ARC means the Evo 150 SE can be connected to a TV, forming the sound foundations of your home entertainment system. While all of Evo 150 SE’s functionality can be accessed via the StreamMagic app, and the HDMI ARC connection enables simple volume control through a TV remote, a dedicated remote control is supplied to ensure complete ease of use for anyone in the room.
Evo 150 SE’s compact footprint is no accident – 12” x 12”, the same size as a vinyl record sleeve. The amplifier features a 6.8” color screen, where users can cycle through a clock display, the album artwork and info of the current track, or else enjoy the tick of virtual VU meters.
Cambridge Audio Evo 150 SE is available from July 2025 at cambridgeaudio.com and approved retailers, priced at $3299.
