British audiophile company, Cambridge Audio, just unveiled the Evo 150 DeLorean Edition. This is the first product to celebrate Cambridge as the official audio partner of the legendary DeLorean Motor Company, Inc.
Built upon the award-winning Evo 150 all-in-one integrated amplifier and network player, Evo 150 DeLorean Edition goes the extra mile, stripping down to bare metal with meticulously crafted, brushed bodywork and sumptuous silver detailing that pay homage to the iconic DeLorean DMC-12.
This high-performance chassis comes with two body kits – interchangeable magnetic side panels give listeners a change of styling within seconds, with two DeLorean-themed panel options supplied. Either take a nostalgia trip to the ’80s with an aesthetic that echoes the front grille and classic logos of the DMC-12, or head back to the future with brushed metal panels featuring the cutting-edge logo from the forthcoming DeLorean ultra-luxury sports car.
Completing this elegant new design is the Evo’s acclaimed dual-concentric rotary dial and large 6.8in LCD panel that shows off digital album artwork in full colour.
From internet radio to music streaming services, to your own digital or analogue music collection, Evo 150 DeLorean Edition serves them up in style, with simple remote control via the StreamMagic app. A roaring 150W of amplification is enough to power almost any pair of speakers – such as the acoustically matched Evo S bookshelf speaker – to create a sublime stereo system. And a built-in MM phono stage makes it a cinch to connect a turntable.
“From Day One, the relationship between our two brands has been fuelled by a bold attitude and an emotional connection to the music we all love,” says James Johnson-Flint, owner of Cambridge Audio. “DeLorean evokes genuine passion, and mirrors Cambridge’s approach to music in everything it does. This special edition of one of our most loved products reveals the bare bones of the Evo 150 in all its glory and reflects the design attributes that have made DeLorean iconic.”
“We are super excited to continue our partnership with Cambridge. Both our brands have put their stamp on the past and are still committed to defining the future,” explains Cameron Wynne, Chief Brand Officer for DeLorean. “Motoring and music have always gone hand in hand. This DeLorean Edition is the perfect way to show your love of both, even when you’re not enjoying the open road.”
Cambridge Audio Evo 150 DeLorean Edition is available now in North America and Asia, and from April 2024 across Europe. RRP is £2099/€2499/$3199 from cambridgeaudio.com and selected retailers.
The acoustically matched Cambridge Audio Evo S speakers can be added at RRP £699/€749/$799 to form a cutting-edge network hi-fi system.
