Hi-Res Bluetooth
Built-in Bluetooth aptX HD liberates Alva from the rest of your hi-fi. With the freedom to place an Alva deck on any flat surface, your records take center stage. Music can be streamed to any compatible Bluetooth kit, including headphones, at up to 24bit/48kHz Hi-Res quality. Or, you can deactivate it and simply use phono cables - it's your call.
Integrated Phono Stage
Alva TT V2 has an integrated phono stage (phono pre-amp), derived from Cambridge's award-winning Alva Duo - to reveal incredible detail from your records. It means you can connect TT V2 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.
MC Cartridge Pre-installed
Alva TT V2's bespoke cartridge is ready-fitted - so there's no tricky set-up, and its sound is perfectly matched to the other components in the turntable. Cambridge designed the high-output Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with an exposed cantilever. It reduces unwanted resonance and vibration, delivers high levels of gain and outstanding musical detail during playback.
Direct Drive
Alva TT V2 has a medium-torque Direct Drive motor, like its predecessor the TT. The 8 pole, 3 phase, brushless DC motor is quartz controlled to ensure accurate turntable speed. With precision control, and silent running, Alva TT V2 achieves just 0.06% wow and flutter. This means excellent pitch stability - particularly during longer, more sustained, musical notes.
All-New Tonearm
After hours of testing, Cambridge Audio's engineers selected a new high-mass, low-resonance tonearm for Alva TT V2 and Alva ST. By minimizing resonant frequencies, in combination with the cartridge, it helps retrieve the maximum detail from your records. A detachable die-cast aluminum headshell makes swapping cartridges easy - then fine-tuned with greater precision thanks to a new anti-skating dial.
