A Turntable to Build Your Record Collection Around
Built for hi-fi lovers and casual listeners alike, Cambridge Audio’s Spira home audio turntable grants you wireless freedom without sacrificing analog playback options. This belt-drive turntable offers flexible connectivity for modern home audio systems, with a built-in Bluetooth transmitter that streams your records to compatible devices throughout your space. The Spira also simplifies wired connections, with a switchable phono preamp that lets you connect directly to a wide variety of amps, receivers, and powered speakers, or use an external phono stage, like the Alva Solo, for an upgraded hi-fi setup. For accurate playback at 33 and 45 rpm, Cambridge Audio has paired a pre-mounted Audio-Technica cartridge with a straight aluminum tonearm, an adjustable counterweight, and an anti-skate mechanism. Other components include a high-mass steel platter for rotational stability and a solid-wood plinth that provides a low-vibration foundation for your records. Whether you're looking for the right components to build out your first home audio system or simply want an elevated turntable with plug-and-play functionality, the Cambridge Audio Spira delivers the sound quality and versatility today's vinyl enthusiasts expect.

Analog sound built for the wireless age
Bringing analog quality to the digital world, the Spira offers flexible connections for integration with your wireless setup or for use as a traditional component in your home audio system. An onboard Bluetooth transmitter manages wireless connections, pairing with a range of devices, including headphones and active speakers, so you can enjoy no-fuss, cable-free listening. Alternatively, RCA outputs and a rear ground terminal let you make the most of the built-in phono preamp and connect directly to your amplifier or powered speakers for wired, plug-and-play convenience. The built-in phono preamp is also bypassable, allowing you to connect directly to an existing external phono stage or upgrade your system in the future.
Faithful vinyl playback from stylus to platter
The Spira includes a pre-mounted Audio-Technica cartridge, a straight aluminum alloy tonearm, and an adjustable counterweight to set the proper tracking force and prevent wear and distortion. It also features an anti-skating mechanism for accurate tracking and a tonearm lifter for smooth cueing. A removable headshell facilitates easy cartridge changes, and Cambridge Audio notes that the Audio-Technica 3600LE elliptical stylus (sold separately) serves as an excellent performance upgrade. Additionally, a high-mass steel platter maintains rotational stability and is paired with a felt mat to reduce resonance and slipping, enabling stable, accurate playback at both 33 and 45 rpm. Finally, a lacquered, solid-wood plinth reduces unwanted vibration, and a hinged dust cover protects your records and equipment.
Cambridge Audio: hi-fi for every occasion
Cambridge Audio launched its first product, the P40 integrated amplifier, in 1968.

Over the decades, the British company has consistently produced premium consumer audio equipment that leverages the latest technological advancements to deliver accessible, audiophile-quality sound. Designed by the industry’s top engineers and subjected to rigorous bench testing, Cambridge Audio products further benefit from painstaking fine-tuning informed by extensive real-world subjective listening.
