Creek products are designed by Mike Creek. The first Creek amplifier, the £99 CAS4040, was launched on the UK market in 1982. It was in 1970 that Mike started working in his father's audio company, Wyndsor Recording Co. Ltd, initially as a stock controller, then buyer, factory manager and finally as a production engineer. Wyndsor made low cost 'reel to reel' tape recorders, record players, cassette recorders and FM/AM radios. Working for Wyndsor provided Mike with a broad understanding of how to run an electronics company from the shop floor upwards. In 1976 he left Wyndsor to form his own company - M R Creek Ltd - trading as a design consultant to the audio industry.
By 1981 Mike started manufacturing products to his own design. He based his first product on the Wyndsor philosophy of high quality at a low price. Designing the product proved less difficult, however, than choosing a name for the company. In the end the choice of Creek Audio Systems proved to be successful.

Creek Sequel Mk 3 Adjustable Phono Board
|
|
Creek Audio has always been a fan of the vinyl disc. For those consumers who have an interest in enjoying this alternative source of high quality music, there are few amplifiers available today equipped to deal with this as standard. All Creek integrated amplifiers, from 1993 have been designed to accept plug-in Phono modules, to enable vinyl disc reproduction.
The latest Creek plug-in Phono pre-amp is called Sequel mk3. It is designed to match a wide-range of MM and MC cartridges and can be fitted to the latest integrated amps from Creek, namely the Evolution 50A, Evolution 100A. It can also be fitted to older Creek amps. Please read a definitive list below.

Creek Evolution 100P Power Amplifier
|
|
Who needs a power amp? Well, you do, if you use a digital or analogue pre-amplifier like the EVOLUTION 50CD or 100CD, with built-in volume control. It is also possible you already own an integrated amplifier like the EVOLUTION 100A and wish to bi-amp your system to power difficult loudspeaker loads.
This new 115W (into 8 Ohms) power amplifier forms part of the new generation EVOLUTION 100 range of products. Housed in a slim case with engraved front panel and solid control knobs, it’s finished with either a black or silver brushed aluminium front panel.

Creek EVO Remote for Evolution 50/100 series
|
|
Whilst many of the products are supplied with their own remote handsets, we realise that there is nothing more annoying than suddenly not being able to enjoy your music without constantly jumping up and down, simply because you no longer have the remote control. Should you misplace it, it is simple to obtain a replacement.
The Creek EVO 50/100 system handset will even control earlier versions of Creek CD players, although the infrared codes were entirely different to those used in today's products. The good news of course is that should you misplace your handset, you can obtain another one very easily.

Creek AMBIT Tuner
|
|
The latest tuner in Creek’s EVOLUTION 50 range is the AMBIT FM/AM Tuner module, suitable for adding to the EVOLUTION 50A or the forth coming EVOLUTION 100A amplifier. Plugging this tuner into the back panel of the amplifier upgrades the amp into a Receiver. Its Plug and Play nature also allows it to update the amp’s software to the latest revision automatically. Once the tuner is installed and the amp is switched-on, the display will show the amp having an extra input – A Tuner input, in fact. However, it will look to the user like a stand-alone tuner in the OLED display window.

Creek Evolution 100A - Integrated Amplifier
|
|
The EVOLUTION 100A is the most sophisticated and reasonably priced amplifier Creek has ever made. It provides stunning audio performance and is capable of out-performing other makes of amplifiers costing many times the price.
To maintain a family resemblance with the lower powered amplifier, the EVOLUTION 100A is housed in a similar slim case with engraved front panel and solid metal control knobs as the EVOLUTION 50A. It is available with either a Black or Silver brushed aluminium front panel and uses the same ingenious soft push button design as the EVOLUTION 50 series, offering excellent tactile feel and backlit optical indication of functions, for optimum user-friendliness.

Creek OBH-8MK2 (OBH8MK2) Phono Pre-Amplifier
|
|
With modern amplifiers expected to cater for so many new source devices, the Phono capability, once very common, is one of those built-in features that has disappeared in recent times. The engineering team at Creek Audio has always loved the benefits of vinyl records and continues to work on technical and sonic improvements to its range of Phono amp options, be it the stand-alone OBH or plug-in Sequel types. Tasked with designing a replacement for the original OBH-8 MM Phonno Pre-amp, the team came up with some valuable improvements and additional features. For the mk2 version a new type of low profile metal case has been developed to reduce the cost, without reducing quality.

Creek Ruby 2 DAC Module
|
|
The RUBY 2 DAC is the latest plug-in upgrade module for the EVOLUTION 50A and EVOLUTION 100A integrated amplifiers. Employing similar topology to the EVOLUTION 50CD, the RUBY 2 DAC uses a single Wolfson WM8742 DAC chip. Connections include Coaxial, TOS-LINK, USB, Bluetooth, and FM radio.
Creek’s EVOLUTION 50A and EVOLUTION 100A amplifiers are normally supplied with 5 analogue inputs. However, Line input 5 is mounted on a removable panel, so it can be swapped with an AMBIT tuner or RUBY2 DAC module, to add several more inputs.
