The Advantages of a Switch-Mode Power Supply and Surface-Mount Technology Switch-mode power supplies and surface-mount technology allow a compact overall design with short signal paths.

This guarantees a faster response, greater precision and, lower background noise levels free from the hum and noise that can badly corrupt vinyl's delicate low-level signals. By specifying switch-mode power supplies, Cambridge Audio employed smaller transformers while maintaining or improving power-output levels.

Switch-mode power supplies and software control also allow for improved energy efficiency. Solo automatically switches to standby if unused for 20 minutes.
