Unit price  per 

Bring flexible cartridge support to your vinyl system with the Cambridge Audio Alva Duo. Moving-magnet and moving-coil inputs combine with a built-in headphone amplifier, allowing records to be enjoyed through speakers or headphones.

Key Features

  • Dedicated MM and MC stages – works with either cartridge type, widening turntable compatibility.
  • Switch-mode power supply – runs above audible frequencies to keep hum and interference out of the music.
  • Surface-mounted circuit board – a precise layout for a clean signal path and clear playback.
  • 6.35mm headphone output – private listening with no separate amplifier needed.
  • Subsonic filter – removes low-frequency rumble from worn records for a tidier sound.

Good to Know

Alva Duo switches itself off after 20 minutes of inactivity and uses under half a watt in standby. It works with mains voltages worldwide, so it travels or relocates easily.
