SA1 MK2

Q: Which speakers are compatible with this amplifier?

The SA1 MK2 is designed to power passive speakers and is fully compatible with the entire FORUS speaker range. It is also compatible with many passive speakers from other manufacturers, provided they match the amplifier&#39;s specifications. The SA1 MK2 is an excellent choice for compact and medium-sized stereo systems, offering a versatile combination of power, connectivity, and value. If you are unsure whether your speakers are compatible, feel free to contact our support team at support@argonaudio.com.

Q: Can I connect a turntable directly to this amplifier?

Yes. SA1 MK2 features both a dedicated PHONO input and a standard LINE IN input, making it compatible with virtually any turntable - no additional equipment required. Choose the correct input depending on your turntable: Turntable without a built-in phono preamplifier (RIAA) → Connect it directly to the PHONO input. Turntable with a built-in phono preamplifier (RIAA) → Set the turntable to RIAA ON (or LINE) and connect it to the LINE IN input. Recommended settings for Argon Audio turntables TT-3 and TT SIGNATURE → Connect to the PHONO input. TT MK2 → For the best sound quality, we recommend setting the turntable to RIAA OFF and connecting it to the PHONO input, allowing the SA1 MK2 built-in phono stage to handle the amplification. TT-3 Plus, TT-4 MK2, TT-4 Special Edition, and TT AURORA → We recommend setting the turntable to RIAA ON and connecting it to the LINE IN input. The built-in phono preamplifier in these models has been carefully matched to the supplied cartridge for excellent sound quality and the simplest setup. This flexibility makes SA1 MK2 compatible with virtually any turntable, whether it has a built-in phono preamplifier or not.

Q: Can I use this amplifier with my TV?

Yes. SA1 MK2 can be connected to your TV using HDMI ARC or optical (TOSLINK), allowing you to enjoy high-quality TV audio through your speakers. For the best experience, we recommend using HDMI ARC. The amplifier will automatically turn on and off with your TV, and you can control the volume using your TV remote—giving you the same everyday convenience as a soundbar, combined with the superior sound quality of a dedicated hi-fi system. If your TV doesn&#39;t support HDMI ARC, you can also connect it using the optical (TOSLINK) input. To ensure proper audio playback, set your TV&#39;s digital audio output to PCM (Stereo). The SA1 MK2 is designed for two-channel audio and does not support Dolby Digital, DTS, or other surround sound formats. If your TV is set to output one of these formats, you may experience no sound or other audio issues.Setting your TV to PCM (Stereo) ensures that the audio signal is converted into a compatible two-channel format that the amplifier can process correctly.

Q: Does this amplifier support Bluetooth streaming?

Yes. The SA1 MK2 features Bluetooth 5.0 and supports the aptX, aptX HD, and AAC codecs. This allows for high-quality wireless audio streaming from compatible devices, with aptX HD offering improved audio quality compared to standard Bluetooth codecs when supported by the source device.

Q: Can I connect a subwoofer to this amplifier?

Yes. The SA1 MK2 features a PRE OUT connection that can be used to connect an active subwoofer. Adding a subwoofer can extend the system&#39;s low-frequency performance and is particularly beneficial when paired with smaller speakers or when additional bass output is desired for movies and music. For the easiest setup, we recommend the Argon Audio Subwoofer Connect Kit: This kit includes the cables needed to connect the amplifier and subwoofer quickly and easily.

Q: What is the difference between a stereo amplifier and an AV receiver?

The main difference is the number of channels they support and their intended use. A stereo amplifier is designed for two-channel audio (left and right speakers) and is primarily focused on music listening. Examples include the Argon Audio SA1 MK2 and SA2. Both also work very well with TVs thanks to their HDMI ARC and optical inputs, making them a great choice for high-quality TV and music audio with a simple stereo setup. An AV receiver is designed for multi-channel audio, making it suitable for home cinema systems such as 5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos setups. It can power multiple speakers and process surround sound formats for a more immersive movie experience. In short: Choose a stereo amplifier for music and high-quality TV audio with two speakers. Choose an AV receiver for surround sound and home cinema systems with 5.1 channels or more.

Seen in real homes

Argon Audio SA1 MK2

Make your speakers sing again – and look good doing it

2 x 100 Watt Class D amplifier in a custom design.
High-end Bluetooth aptX HD and AAC for the best possible streaming from your phone or PC
HDMI ARC for easy and convenient connection to your TV
Phono input for turntables (MM)
32-bit ESS Sabre DAC in fully balanced signal path from DAC to speaker terminals
Separate power supplies for analog and digital circuits (6 in total)

Packing power

Don't judge the SA1 MK2 by its small size! This amp is packing super powerful hybrid-digital amps with 100 ridiculously effective watts in each channel (4 ohm).

To put it simply: this amp is ready for most speakers you could think of pairing it with. Our own passive FORUS-series speakers would be a great choice, but your flea market finds will do just as well.

The right connections

If you are familiar with Bluetooth, then you know how to use the SA1 MK2. Just pair your phone, tablet, or any other Bluetooth-enabled device, and you’re good to go. You’ve also got a pre-out output in case you want to use SA1 MK2 as a fully digital pre-amp. That one is for the enthusiasts. Us simple mortals can also use it to add a subwoofer.

Thinking of upgrading your TV audio? Great idea! By using the HDMI connection to connect your TV, the SA1 MK2 will automatically power on with it, allowing the volume to be controlled using your TV remote. It does everything your plastic soundbar does—except, you know, better. There’s no excuse to settle for the subpar audio of soundbars anymore, 'cause the SA1 MK2 is here to save you! It has truly never been easier to achieve quality stereo sound.

A non-scary amp

Let’s be real for a second here. Amps can be quite daunting. Most often they’re huge metal boxes with some confusing interface that’s impossible to decipher. Turn ‘em around and you stare into a thousand ports, each with their own weird abbreviation slapped on top. SA1 MK2 is different. SA1 MK2 understands.

This small box packs only the stuff you actually need – nothing more, nothing less. Connect your speakers, power it on, pair with Bluetooth, and you’re good to go.

Reviews

"So this Argon Audio amplifier works very well. Its HDMI performance is actually very solid—it's instant play and plug; it works directly. The phone control has been done pretty nicely in small steps. Also, the Bluetooth connection is still pretty impressive, and I just like that they tuned it a bit differently overall in its audio output. It's a great amplifier, and really, if you can get it for a nice price, it's a great thing for sure."

Go to review

"The redesign of Argon's favorite in the basic class of integrated amplifiers has been quite successful – the device has retained an excellent technological foundation, received the obligatory HDMI ARC input, and managed to deliver all this to the customer at a lower price than the previous incarnation."

Go to review

"The affordable amplifier/speaker pair sounds impressive without relying on gimmicks and performs well beyond its price range."

Go to review

"The Argon Audio SA1 is yet another proof that good hi-fi can be very affordable. The specifications and performance match those of integrated amplifiers costing at least twice as much. It delivers ample punch, rendering tight low to high tones with a very beautiful and detailed soundstage. A definite recommendation."

Go to review

"Phew. That hit the mark. At this price, I can't find any fault with either the small integrated amplifier Argon Audio SA1 or the active speakers Argon Audio Forte A5."

Go to review

"The Argon Audio SA1 is a clear recommendation. Lively sound is combined here with good performance values and well-thought-out connectivity options. An integrated amplifier for modern demands, which is also available at a more than fair price."

Go to review

"The Argon Audio SA1 is a true stereo amplifier with all the classic virtues of an integrated amplifier – as well as some digital virtues as well. It handles everything from vinyl records to wireless streaming. And it almost cries out to be placed next to your TV alongside a pair of decent speakers. The sound is formidable for this price, and its appearance is so discreet that surely even the most critical gaze will look kindly upon it."

Go to review

"It meets the vast majority of needs for many, it is visually appealing, and the recommended price is razor-sharp – you get much more sound for your money than the price suggests."
