SPECTRA DX 700 CD

Spectra

 The Wersi Spectra was one of the most chosen organs by both home organists and professionals.  At the time of it's release In 1988, it revolutionised the organ world with it's CD quality sounds and rhythms and stylish good looks.  At one time it was the most used organ used by professionals in concert.
The Spectra contained 153 voices and with all of the upgrade options like the Livestyle and Giga Tower, it boosted them up to around 650!   No other organ could even come close to compete.  It also had a large versatile LCD display which most organs at that time did not have, even the ones that did were nowhere near as large and versatile as that on the Spectra.

It also incorporated the Helios organ drawbars as well as the "Spectra" set of drawbars!  It had a full pedal board and could be taken apart easily and split into several sections for transport ... it was the professional's dream organ.
