Cambridge Audio Spira

Cambridge Audio Spira – Ready-to-Play Belt-Drive Turntable with Bluetooth

Spira is Cambridge Audio's most approachable turntable: a belt-drive deck that arrives with a pre-fitted Audio-Technica cartridge, a built-in phono stage and a Bluetooth transmitter, so you can go from box to first record in minutes.

Key Features

• Ready to play: Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge is fitted and aligned, with a removable headshell that makes swapping or upgrading simple, including the 3600LE elliptical stylus
• Built-in phono stage: Connect straight to powered speakers or an amplifier with a line input, or bypass the internal stage and use your own external phono preamp
• Bluetooth transmitter: Stream your records wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers and headphones
• Solid belt-drive foundation: A 1.8 kg high-mass steel platter on a sub-platter design and a ball bearing keeps rotation steady, with 33⅓ and 45 RPM selected by one electronic dial
• Properly adjustable tonearm: A straight aluminium arm with adjustable tracking force and anti-skate, plus a felt mat, MDF plinth and isolating rubber feet
• Five finishes: Black, White, Blue, Green and Orange, designed to sit beside the Cambridge Audio L/R speakers

Customer Benefits

Spira removes the fiddly part of starting with vinyl. There is no cartridge to align and no extra phono box to buy, yet the removable headshell, adjustable arm and external phono bypass leave room to grow. The matched colours make it an easy centrepiece for a compact system.
