Experience the Pinnacle of Vinyl Playback with Cambridge Audio ALVA ST

Step into the world of high-fidelity audio with the Cambridge Audio ALVA ST Belt Drive Turntable, where every detail of your beloved vinyl collection is brought to life with stunning clarity. This isn’t just a turntable; it’s an invitation to rediscover your music in a way that digital streaming can’t match.

Crafted for the Audiophile

The ALVA ST is designed for the discerning listener. Its robust construction, featuring a 1mm aluminum top plate and composite chassis, ensures a stable and vibration-resistant platform for your records. The die-cast aluminum platter, coupled with an innovative high-mass, low-resonance tonearm, minimizes resonant frequencies, allowing the true essence of your music to shine through.

High-Performance Audio Specifications

  • Belt Drive System: Ensures smooth rotation and consistent playback speed.
  • Platter Material: Die-cast aluminum for stability and enhanced sound quality.
  • Bluetooth Streaming: Hi-Res up to 24bit/48kHz for wireless listening without compromise.
  • Tonearm: A high-mass, low-resonance design with a detachable headshell.
  • Cartridge: Pre-installed Moving Magnet for detailed sound reproduction.

Seamless Integration and Versatility

The ALVA ST doesn’t just play records; it integrates seamlessly into your existing audio setup. Whether you’re connecting to a traditional hi-fi system or pairing with the latest Bluetooth speakers, this turntable offers flexibility without sacrificing performance. The integrated phono stage, based on Cambridge Audio’s acclaimed Alva Duo, means you can plug directly into any line-level input and enjoy the rich analog sound.

Unparalleled Sound Quality

At the heart of the ALVA ST’s audio prowess is its Moving Magnet Cartridge, providing a frequency response that captures the full spectrum of sound with impeccable accuracy. From the deep, solid bass to the clear and well-separated instruments, every note is rendered with precision and warmth.

Key Audio Features:

  • Turntable Speeds: Choose between 33.3 and 45rpm to match your record’s requirements.
  • Wow & Flutter: Less than 0.12% for pitch-perfect audio fidelity.
  • Audio Out: RCA Phono/Line Level (Switchable) for easy connectivity.
  • Power Consumption: Energy-efficient design with a standby power consumption of less than 0.3W.

Effortless Operation

The ALVA ST is designed with user experience in mind. Switching between rotation speeds is as easy as pressing a button, thanks to electronic speed control. The minimalist design not only adds a touch of elegance to your space but also makes operation straightforward and intuitive.

Ease of Use:

  • Motor Speed Control: Electronic for precise and hassle-free adjustments.
  • Dust Cover: Protect your turntable with the hinged cover when not in use.
  • Setup: Quick and easy with the included cables and accessories.

A Design That Resonates

The ALVA ST’s timeless style is matched by its durable construction, designed to last a lifetime. The lunar-grey aluminum top plate and matt black plinth create a look that’s as classic as it is contemporary. This turntable isn’t just an audio device; it’s a statement piece that complements any home decor.

Design Details:

  • Dimensions: 435 x 139 x 366.7mm – a compact footprint that fits into any setup.
  • Weight: At 9kg, it’s substantial enough to resist unwanted movement.
  • Construction: A blend of aluminum, EVA, and composite materials for durability and acoustic dampening.

The Joy of Analog in a Digital World

In a time when digital convenience reigns, the ALVA ST stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of analog sound. With high-quality Bluetooth streaming capability, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the warmth of vinyl and the convenience of wireless audio. It’s the perfect bridge between the tactile joy of record collecting and the seamless tech of modern audio systems.

Bluetooth Features:

  • Codec Support: SBC/aptX/aptX HD for high-fidelity wireless audio.
