Ampster II BT, CD II and Tuner II From Tangent
23rd January 2019
Tangent Audio has released a new and improved version of its compact Ampster Bluetooth amplifier. A new matching CD and Tuner have also been designed.
The second generation of Tangent’s Ampster BT amplifier offers streaming via Bluetooth or you can connect your device using an AUX cable. Digital and analogue line inputs, a sub-output and USB charging ports are also provided.
AMPSTER II
This second generation Ampster II BT, offers higher quality components.
Software developments have also created a more user-friendly operation particularly in multi-room environments or where commercial applications limit operation via the remote control.
The Ampster II BT reverts to Standby when the music signal stops via Bluetooth and wakes automatically when you resume Playback.
In addition the amplifier can be woken from Standby from the AUX mini-jack input, which allows you to connect to most multi-room or Wi-Fi network systems. It also features an IR infrared input, which enables the amp to be positioned wherever it’s not possible to directly operate with its remote control.
CD II
Tangent’s CD II is a multi-format disc player that’s compatible with “all current CD formats” (including home made MP3 files) and with both digital optical and regular line-outputs.
TUNER II
The Tuner II offers FM and RDS whilst a Digital DAB/DAB+ option is also available.
A remote control is supplied to control all three boxes.
The 50W Ampster II BT and CD II weigh 2.2kg and span 195 x 195 x 70mm. The Tuner II spans the same but only weighs 1.4kg. Prices? All are £180 each.

My friend has just purchased the above along with a seperate speaker. We would like instructions on how to connect the cables if possible.
Hi James – can you go into more detail about the problems you are having and why please? You’ve read the manual and that doesn’t help?
Hi Paul…i believe that i can connect the system using bluetooth, However i’d
like to be able to connect using the cables provided, but i can’t find the instructions
to do this.
Hi Paul – thank you for responding. I’m sorry i didn’t explain myself too well.
My friend just moved house and unfortunately lost the manual somewhere, we’ve
looked high and low to no avail. We have the manual to each individual unit, but no
Info as to connect all 3 units together along with the speaker my friend bought as an addition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tia
IF you look online, you can find the manuals there, that might be the quickest option: https://manuals.plus/tangent/ampster-bt-ii-mini-stereo-amplifier-manual#axzz87ebd49aa?utm_content=cmp-true, https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1677809/Tangent-Cd-Ii.html, https://manuals.plus/tangent/tuner-ii-dabdabfm-tuner-manual#axzz87ebd49aa. Let me know if that’s the solution.
The way i’m reading it, i can set the system up using the bluetooth facility.
However i’d like to wire it up via the cables but can’t find any info as to how to
connect it up.
