Argon Audio AURORA

A modern masterpiece

Aluminium static-balanced S-shaped tonearm
Ortofon Concorde Music Blue cartridge included
ATS technology for clearer sound reproduction
Brushless direct-drive motor with quartz-controlled speed regulation
Rigid, low-resonance construction & damped aluminium platter
High-quality built-in MM phono preamp

Purpose in every part

Great vinyl sound starts with a stable foundation. That is why AURORA combines a rigid MDF plinth with a heavyweight, damped aluminium platter designed to minimise unwanted resonance. Vibration-damping feet provide further isolation from its surroundings, helping the stylus stay focused on the information in the groove rather than vibrations from the room.

Every part has been chosen to create a solid, controlled platform for your records. The result is playback with greater clarity, stability and detail that lets the music take centre stage.

Experience all the details

At the heart of AURORA’s sound is its static-balanced S-shaped aluminium tonearm, fitted with the acclaimed Ortofon Concorde Music Blue cartridge. Together, they provide high-accuracy tracking and reveal even the most minute details captured in your records.

Our patented ATS technology (Anisotropic Torsion Stabilizer) helps reduce unwanted torsional resonance in the tonearm; it allows the stylus to track with greater stability and accuracy. The payoff is not technology for technology’s sake. It is a cleaner, more open presentation and subtle details are easier to hear.

Direct drive, done right

AURORA uses a sophisticated cogging-free, brushless direct-drive motor with quartz-controlled speed regulation. Rather than relying on a belt to transfer power to the platter, the motor drives it directly, helping maintain consistent rotational speed while improving long-term reliability.

But this is not direct drive built around brute force. The motor is designed to work as part of a carefully controlled playback system, combining smooth rotation with the heavyweight platter and rigid construction around it. The result is exceptionally consistent rotation speed with the refinement expected from a high-end hi-fi turntable.

AURORA is also made to be easy to live with. Its high-quality built-in MM phono preamp means it can connect directly to a wide range of amplifiers and active speakers, while 33, 45 and 78 RPM support gives you flexibility across your collection. For 78 RPM records, a suitable cartridge is required.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 3 reviews.

Ich bin vom Aurora rundum begeistert. Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig, das Design edel, und der Aufbau ging schnell und unkompliziert. Der Klang ist warm und detailreich und bringt genau das Vinyl-Gefühl, das ich gesucht habe. Er läuft ruhig und gleichmäßig, die Bedienung ist einfach. Seit der Aurora da ist, lege ich wieder viel öfter Platten auf. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

FAQ

How do I connect this turntable to speakers?

You can connect the AURORA directly to a pair of active (powered) speakers or to an amplifier/receiver with passive speakers. An RCA cable is included for easy connection.

The AURORA features a built-in phono preamplifier (RIAA) that can be switched ON or OFF using the switch on the rear panel.

Choose the correct setting for your setup:

RIAA OFF → Connect the AURORA to a PHONO input.
RIAA ON → Connect the AURORA to an AUX, LINE IN, or any other line-level input.

For Argon Audio amplifiers and active speakers

We recommend setting the AURORA to RIAA ON and connecting it to an AUX, LINE IN, or another line-level input. The built-in phono preamplifier in the AURORA has been carefully matched to the supplied cartridge, providing excellent sound quality and the simplest setup.

Does this turntable have a built-in phono preamp (RIAA)?

Yes. This turntable features a built-in phono preamplifier (RIAA) that can be switched ON or OFF using the switch on the rear panel.

Choose the correct setting for your setup:

RIAA ON → Connect the turntable to an AUX, LINE IN, or any other line-level input on an amplifier or a pair of active speakers.
RIAA OFF → Connect the turntable to a PHONO input or to an external phono preamplifier.

Can I connect this turntable via Bluetooth?

No. This turntable does not feature Bluetooth connectivity and is designed for a wired audio connection.

It connects via the included RCA cable, allowing the analog audio signal to be sent directly to an amplifier, a pair of active speakers, or an external phono preamplifier.

Bluetooth audio requires the analog signal from the turntable to be converted into a digital signal before it can be transmitted wirelessly. While modern Bluetooth codecs can deliver excellent sound quality, wireless transmission still involves digital processing and compression.

By using a wired RCA connection, this turntable preserves the original analog signal path and avoids unnecessary signal processing, providing the most faithful vinyl listening experience.

What's included in the box?

Every Argon Audio turntable ships ready to set up in minutes, including:

The turntable plinth, platter, and slip mat
A pre-fitted cartridge and stylus
Counterweight and tonearm accessories
Dust cover
A dedicated power supply
An RCA cable to connect to your amplifier or active speakers
A printed quick start guide

Just unpack, follow the quick start guide (or our online setup walkthrough), and you'll be playing records shortly after opening the box.

What makes the AURORA different from your other turntables?

Unlike our main-line models, which follow a simple numbering system, the AURORA got its own name because it does things differently. It's built around a bigger focus on design and ease of use, while still keeping the performance and value-for-money approach Argon Audio is known for. That shows up in details like the direct drive motor, an internal power supply (just one cable to connect), and an end-stop function that automatically stops the platter when your record finishes. It's a turntable designed to look and feel modern, without asking you to compromise on sound.

What is a direct drive system, and why does it matter?

AURORA is the first turntable in our lineup to use a direct drive system, where the motor drives the platter directly instead of using a belt. This makes setup easier and results in a very speed-stable, low noise motor that keeps the record spinning with minimal wow, flutter, or other speed-related distortion. AURORA is built for home hifi use, giving you the stability of direct drive with the sound quality serious listeners expect.

What kind of sound quality can I expect from the AURORA?

AURORA comes fitted with an Ortofon Concorde Music Blue cartridge, the same high-quality needle used in the 2M Blue on our TT-4 MK2, known for detailed and balanced sound. But sound isn't just about the needle. AURORA is heavier, rubber-dampened aluminium platter and thicker MDF plinth make it more resonance-free and inert than our other models. As a result, its sound quality matches, and arguably exceeds, our higher-tier TT-4 Special Edition, thanks to its sturdier construction. It also includes a built-in phono preamp, so you can connect it directly to any system with an analog input, no separate preamp required

What replace stylus or cartridge can I use with this turntable?

This turntable is compatible with Concorde style pickups. As it is fitted with the Ortofon Concorde Music Blue, we recommend you use a stylus or replacement pickup from the Ortofon Music series. All styluses within the Ortofon Concorde Music series are compatible with the cartridge so you can choose any replacement stylus, preferably starting with the Concorde Music Blue for the same performance, or the Concorde Music Bronze, Black or Black LBV250 for better sound performance.

While AURORA is technically compatible with the Ortofon Concorde MKII DJ and Ortofon Concorde 5 series pickups, you will not achieve equal or better sound quality than with the prefitted Ortofon Concorde Music Blue.

The headshell is a standard SME-mount so, it is possible to exchange it for a conventional headshell and fit a wide range of pickups. Make sure that both the specifications of the headshell and pickup are in compliance with the technical requirements of the AURORA.

If you're considering a specific cartridge that isn't listed, feel free to contact our support team at support@argonaudio.com.

We'll be happy to confirm whether it's compatible with your turntable.
