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.

OUR STEREO AMPLIFIERS ARE SOMETHING ELSE

What sets our amplifiers apart from the rest?

In this blog, we're diving deep into what sets our amplifiers apart from the rest. To do this, we’ve enlisted the help of the engineer behind the SA1 MK2/SA2, Michael Kragelund, to give you a thorough explanation of the choices made, and how we ended up with such high-quality products:

"The goal was to build a high-quality amplifier without any of the limitations normally found in an entry-level amplifier. It should be able to drive even the most difficult speaker loads with a dynamic and detailed sound."

HiFi 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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
