Cambridge Audio Alva ST - Belt Drive + Sevens Powered Speakers

There’s nothing quite like vinyl: the tactile pleasure of removing a record from its sleeve and carefully placing it on a deck is unique. Cambridge Audio designed the original Alva TT to honor that tradition, and Alva ST to share that pleasure with more people.

With a pre-fitted cartridge so you’ll be playing records in minutes the belt-drive Alva ST also features switchable Hi-Res Bluetooth streaming and an integrated phono stage.

Features:

• King of Convenience: Alva ST is for people who want to listen to records an exceptional quality without the need to choose or fit extra components. Alva ST keeps it simple with a perfectly matched cartridge pre-installed. Alva ST connects to pretty much any audio system too, as it has a switchable integrated phono-stage. It even works wirelessly with Bluetooth speaker systems.
• Integrated Phono Stage: Alva ST has an integrated phono stage (phono pre-amp), derived from our award-winning Alva Duo to reveal incredible detail from your records. It means you can connect Alva ST to any amp or compatible speaker system. You can deactivate the deck’s phono stage, too ideal if your amp already has one or to keep upgrade options open.
• MM Cartridge Pre-installed: After hours of listening, we selected an Audio Technica Moving Magnet cartridge to be readily fitted on Alva ST. With no fiddly set-up, you’ll be playing records in minutes. The elliptical stylus provides a greater contact area with your records’ grooves, producing accurate tracking of information and, of course, great-sounding music.
• Belt Drive: Alva ST uses the proven belt-drive method, supplemented with electronic motor speed control. After connecting the belt for the first time, you won’t need to look under the platter again. Rotation speed selection is made by 2 neat electronic buttons on the ST’s aluminum top surface so you can effortlessly switch between playing albums and singles.
• High Resolution Audio System: Easy to set up and connect to virtually any source, The Sevens Powered Speakers deliver hi-res audio with 192kHz / 24-bit decoding without an AV receiver.
• All New Hiall New High-excursion Driver: Employing high-performance Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and filter technology, the new 6.5-inch high-excursion driver creates a bigger, bolder soundstage.
• World of Connectivity: The Sevens offer a seamless Bluetooth® wireless connection, digital optical, 3.5 mm analog, RCA/Phono inputs and subwoofer output. Left/Right speaker switching allows for easy placement in your space.
