The needle you need
CZ-800-10
The Air LP takes the ION CZ-800-10 needle.
- Genuine ION part
Also fits (same cartridge family): iCT06RS. ION says these fit the same cartridge family, but does not name it for this record player.
Do you need a phono preamp?
A phono preamp boosts the very quiet signal from the cartridge.
We could not confirm whether the Air LP has a phono preamp built in. Check the back of your record player: if it has a PHONO/LINE switch, it has one.
Speakers that work with the Air LP
Each of these has its own phono input, so the Air LP plugs in without a separate phono preamp.
If your record player has a PHONO/LINE switch, any powered speaker with a line input works.
C20 W
Takes Bluetooth too, so it can play the Air LP's Bluetooth signal with no cable.
R-41PM
Also has an optical input, for a TV.
MR1 Mk3
Has a subwoofer output, if you want more bass later.
