Turntable & Speaker Bundle

The Fluance RT81+ Elite turntable pairs with Ai61 6.5" powered bookshelf speakers in a single bundle. The turntable uses a diamond-tipped elliptical stylus cartridge that outputs 4.0mV for detailed vinyl playback. The speakers include an integrated amplifier so no separate receiver is required. This combination suits listeners who want a complete analog-focused system from one brand.

Isolation & Amplification

The RT81+ turntable features an engineered isolation system designed to reduce vibration and preserve clarity during playback. The Ai61 speakers draw power from their built-in amplifier to drive 6.5" drivers and premium tweeters for room-filling stereo sound. Both components are finished in piano black and black ash respectively. The total package weighs 41.27 lbs.

Cartridge & Connectivity

The bundled VM95E cartridge with its 4.0mV output connects directly to the Ai61 speaker inputs for a streamlined signal path. No external phono preamp or separate amplifier is needed because the speakers integrate both functions. Buyers who need Bluetooth streaming, a separate phono stage, or additional inputs beyond what the speakers provide will require extra equipment not included here.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the RT81+ turntable and Ai61 speakers together, and what is the common mistake with the cartridge?

Connect the turntable's RCA outputs to the speakers' analog inputs, then power the speakers. The step often missed is fitting the VM95E cartridge onto the tonearm and setting the tracking force before playing records.

What maintenance will the VM95E cartridge need over time?

The diamond-tipped elliptical stylus on the VM95E cartridge wears with use and will require replacement to maintain the 4.0mV output and frequency response.

At what point does the isolation system stop preventing vibration during long sessions?

The RT81+'s engineered isolation handles normal playback, but sustained high-volume levels can transmit enough energy through the surface to overcome the isolation and affect clarity.
