Reference Turntable System

The Fluance RT85 turntable arrives complete with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, a PA10 phono preamp and a pair of Ai81 powered floorstanding speakers. This all-in-one package is built for listeners who want a fully matched vinyl front-end without selecting separate components. It delivers a pure analog signal path from groove to room in a single purchase.

Phono Preamp and RIAA Equalisation

The PA10 preamp converts the cartridge’s phono output to line level with high-accuracy RIAA equalisation. Its performance defines the practical limit of how faithfully the original recording is reproduced before the signal reaches the speaker amplifiers. No additional phono stage is required or supported by this bundle.

150-Watt Powered Speakers

Each Ai81 tower contains a 150-watt Class D amplifier driving the drivers directly, providing ample headroom for dynamic peaks and deep bass in typical living rooms. The system comfortably fills medium to large spaces with stereo sound, but it has no provision for adding extra amplification or additional speaker channels.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the RT85 turntable with the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge or a different cartridge?

The RT85 turntable in this bundle comes factory-fitted with the Ortofon 2M Blue elliptical stylus cartridge, chosen for improved linearity, higher channel separation and reduced distortion.

What does the 150W Class D amplifier actually deliver in my listening room?

The 150W Class D amplifier drives the Ai81 floorstanding speakers to produce a full-range soundstage with accurate midrange, deep bass and detailed imaging for room-filling playback.

How does the PA10 phono preamp connect to the Ai81 speakers and what does it handle?

The PA10 preamp converts the turntable's phono signal to line level with RIAA equalisation, then feeds the Ai81 powered speakers via standard analogue inputs for a pure analogue signal path.
