Basic cables included!
Blends sound and function like nothing else in its class
Just like its award-winning predecessor, the Alva TT V2 delivers the perfect synergy of sound and function. This premium turntable is also easy to install and use. Unlike some high-end decks, set-up is drama free and speed control is via electronic control (no need to manually change the belt). A built-in phonostage and Bluetooth output offer universal connectivity, letting you enjoy the top quality sound from any hi-fi, speaker system or even Bluetooth headphones.
Switchable, high quality Bluetooth aptX HD output
The original Alva TT was the world’s first turntable to offer Bluetooth aptX HD connectivity – giving you HD sound, wirelessly. Bluetooth connectivity usually means a loss in sound quality but, thanks to the Alva TT V2’s aptX HD output, wireless sound is much higher quality. Working up to 24 bit/48kHz, the Alva TT V2 delivers Hi-Res audio to beat CD – cable-free. For improved sound when not using the Bluetooth output, it’s now switchable – reducing possible interference when using a cabled connection.
Built-in, switchable phonostage
For a fully analogue experience, little beats a cabled connection. The Alva TT V2 features a switchable, built-in phonostage, so it connects to any hi-fi system with an AUX input. RCA phono outputs let you use any phono cable, allowing you to use longer or higher quality cables of your choice. If you already have a high quality phonostage, simply switch the output level at the rear.
Direct Drive for ultimate precision
Rather than using a belt drive system, the Alva TT V2 opts for high torque, Direct Drive. This offers excellent pitch stability, for precise timing and upbeat sound. A further advantage is there’s no belt to clean or replace.
Improved tonearm
The new tonearm now features a removable headshell. This makes it much easier to remove the cartridge – ideal for when you’re cleaning the deck and don’t want to risk damaging the stylus or for when upgrading to a new cartridge. With adjustable anti-skating, the rigid tonearm cleanly follows the record’s groove, giving you clear and lifelike sound.
Moving Coil cartridge for accurate detail
Another sign of this turntable’s top-class credentials is the standard fit, Alva Moving Coil cartridge. Reserved for the highest quality turntables, Moving Coil (MC) cartridges improve over regular Moving Magnet (MM) versions by offering a fixed stylus for improved accuracy. Smoother and more natural-sounding, once you’ve heard just how good a MC cartridge can sound, you won’t want to go back to MM.
Easy to set-up and practical
With the cartridge already in place and no belt to install, it’s easy to get started with the Alva TT V2. Simply dial up the correct weight and anti-skating and you’re good to go. Once installed, a practical lid and push-button speed control make the Alva TT V2 easy to live with.
Stylish good looks
Sleek, clean lines and a reassuring solidness means the Alva TT V2 exudes a sense of quality. Finished in Cambridge’s signature lunar-grey and black, the Alva TT V2’s smooth style perfectly matches other Cambridge Audio products.

Award-winning system, made better
Famed for their striking design, balanced sound and complete connectivity, the original KEF LS50 Wireless speakers swept the board. Now featuring new MAT technology for superior sound, a brand-new wireless platform and new KEF Connect app, the LS50 Wireless II is more impressive than ever.
The wireless speakers that put sound first
Based on the revolutionary LS50 Meta, these KEF wireless speakers use MAT (Metamaterial Absorption Technology) for lower distortion and a much purer, more natural sound. KEF’s famous Uni-Q drivers produce room-filling sound, free from the usual ‘sweet spot’. Powering all this is a mighty amplifier system that uses a combination of digital and analogue amplification to produce a total output of 380 watts per speaker.
Truly wireless option
There are many wireless stereo speakers on the market, but ‘wireless’ doesn’t always mean what you might think. Just like its competitors, the LS50 Wireless II streams music wirelessly. It also goes one stage further, though, in featuring a wireless connection between the speakers themselves – no umbilical cord required. If you want to improve file resolution from 96 kHz/24 bit to 192 kHz/24 bit, then simply use the supplied interspeaker connection cable.
Streaming services and Internet Radio
Download the KEF Connect app (available for Android and Apple iOS) and enjoy easy access to all your favourite streaming services, Internet Radio and podcasts. Compatible with Spotify Connect (Premium account required), TIDAL, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer and more, the app lets you access a near-limitless stream of music. The app also makes it easy to access your favourite Internet Radio stations and podcasts.
AirPlay 2, Chromecast and UPnP – Wireless freedom
Connect to your network via wi-fi or Ethernet and stream your music, your way. Compatible with AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, the player suits most Apple and Android multi-room speaker systems. If you prefer to stream from your own music storage, UPnP (Universal Plug n’ Play) compatibility means it collaborates with a wide range of third party apps for effortless music network streaming.
Made for High Resolution music – including support for MQA and ROON
As well as offering the dynamic range to make the most of Hi-Res music, the LS50 Wireless II also supports many associated formats. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) – as used by TIDAL Masters – is compatible. ROON Endpoint status means it’s compatible with the award-winning music player – including Hi-Res files.
Ultimate Bluetooth speaker
For a quick and easy connection, the LS50 Wireless II speakers are also compatible with Bluetooth. The high quality Bluetooth 4.2 connection is perfect for quick and easy pairing with family and friend’s smartphones – making it an ideal way to share music.
Or, cable it up
Thanks to its HDMI, optical and coaxial digital, plus analogue 3.5mm inputs you can also connect up other sources, such as your TV, games console, CD player or turntable (with built-in pre-amp).
Iconic design
Equally as impressive as the sound and connectivity, the LS50 Wireless II’s style is hard to beat. The smooth, clean design is striking yet still easy on the eye. Choose between Carbon Black, Mineral White, Titanium Grey or Crimson Red, for the style that best suits you.
Enjoy a premium listening experience, in style, with the KEF LS50 Wireless II.
