Audio Partnership

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Audio Partnership is a British manufacturer of hi-fi, home cinema and home automation products, which was founded in 1994.

The company’s brands include among others the following:

• Cambridge Audio, which produces amplifiers, AV receivers and DVD players and recorders

• Mordaunt Short, a manufacturer of loudspeakers and subwoofers.

• Opus Technologies

• Gale Loudspeakers

Closely associated with Richer Sounds due to the exclusive distribution of its many of its most well known products in the UK through the chain, Audio Partnership has produced many products over the years. However, Richer Sounds does not own Audio Partnership, and other distributors are responsible for the distribution of Audio Partnership products outside the UK.

Audio Partnership’s products since 1994 include stereo amplifiers, CD players, digital-to-analogue (DAC) converters (namely the DACMagic and ISOMagic series), tuners (both analogue and digital), loudspeakers, subwoofers and cables. In most recent years, the company branched out into home cinema, with an external 5.1 processor for older Dolby Pro-Logic amplifiers that have six-channel inputs, AV receivers as well as an extensive range of DVD players and recorders.

A large number of its products receive awards from the relevant press, which includes hi-fi and home cinema magazines.

Audio Partnership, through its Opus Technologies operation, has an extensive portfolio of home automation products that can be used to build an integrated entertainment installation in a home. Such setups can also be built into brand-new homes.
