The iFi Audio AURORA All-In-One Music System, designed by Julien Haziza, blends cutting-edge technology with a stylish bamboo and aluminium exterior, drawing inspiration from Japanese industrial designers. Powered by iFi's PureEmotion technology, it delivers a pure and emotional sound experience, utilising analogue domain operation for authenticity and features like Automatic Room Tailoring for optimal sound positioning, alongside versatile streaming options and advanced Bluetooth connectivity for seamless integration into any setup.
iFi Audio AURORA All-In-One Music System
The iFi Audio AURORA All-In-One Music System is a must-have for any music lover. This unique system combines cutting-edge technology with stylish design to deliver an unparalleled sonic experience. From its striking bamboo and aluminium exterior to its impressive range of features, the Aurora is a true tour de force in the world of wireless music systems.
Designed by French product designer Julien Haziza, the Aurora draws inspiration from Japanese industrial designers and architecture. This is evident in the clean lines and grand scale of the design, mimicking the aesthetic of Tokyo's OmotesandÅ and Harajuku districts. The combination of bamboo and aluminium creates a vintage yet modern look that will elevate any room.
The Aurora is powered by iFi's proprietary PureEmotion technology, which delivers a sound that is both pure and emotional. This fusion of amp technologies ensures that every note and nuance of your music is delivered with speed, dynamic gusto, and a high level of engagement. It's no wonder we call it PureEmotion.
Unlike many other audio systems, the Aurora operates in the analogue domain, avoiding the artificial and lossy process of digital signal processing. This ensures that the sound is authentic and delivers a true high-quality listening experience. With features like SoundSpace and TrueBass, the Aurora fills the room with a rich, room-filling sound, giving your music a sense of scale and space usually reserved for premium audio systems.
One of the standout features of the Aurora is its Automatic Room Tailoring (ART) technology. This allows the system to auto-configure its speaker array according to its position in the room, giving you the best sound possible no matter where it is placed. And with versatile streaming options from Qobuz, TIDAL, and Spotify, as well as multi-room capabilities, the Aurora adapts to your music needs and preferences.
But that's not all. The Aurora also boasts advanced Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with support for all current and future Bluetooth audio formats. And with plenty of cable inputs, including optical, coaxial, and USB, you can connect all your digital sources with ease. Plus, the addition of a micro SDHC card slot allows for even more versatility.

French design. Japanese inspiration.
Our designer, Julien Haziza, drew inspiration from Japanese industrial designers and architecture – namely Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando and the Omotesandō and Harajuku districts in Tokyo.
Clad in bamboo and elevated by a distinctive aluminium frame, the Aurora’s design is striking. It mimics the grand scale of Japanese architecture – crisp, clean lines intertwined with a hint of vintage. Very fitting for the tour de force that is our premium wireless music system – Aurora.
Music amplified by emotion
Aurora is driven by PureEmotion®, an ingenious fusion of amp technologies – brand new and original to iFi.
It delivers a sound that combines the purity of tone with a high level of engagement, speed and dynamic gusto, ensuring the emotive quality of music is delivered in full effect – which is why we call it PureEmotion®.
Analogue. Authentic.
Many audio products use digital signal processing (DSP) to deliver a big, spacious sound from a single box. This is an artificial, lossy process that detracts from the sound quality.
The clever technologies in the Aurora (and all iFI products), avoid this completely as they operate in the analogue domain.
SoundSpace® delivers a room-filling sound and gives the music a sense of scale and space you would a premium audio system.
TrueBass® delivers genuine bass with depth and definition. Everything from timpani to a bass guitar is conveyed with power and poise.
No space too big or small
With Auto Room Tailoring (ART)®, the Aurora can auto-configure the speaker array according to its position in the room.
The effect is similar to the adjustments made by a sound engineer at a live venue.
And what makes ART® special is that it’s executed in the analogue domain. Forget tinny and imagine deep, voluminous sound that captivates you. To our ears, no other music system with automatic room correction comes close.
Versatile.
Enjoy premium streaming services from Qobuz and TIDAL or standard streams from the likes of Spotify.
Aided by ART®, the Aurora adapts to the way you want to use it. It’s YOUR premium network music player. Place it under a TV, connect via Bluetooth® or optical cable and use it as a stylish soundbar. And stream your favourite music.
Link several Auroras via Wi-Fi to create a multi-room system, playing in sync or individually. Whether you’re streaming from a premium music service or surfing the infinite number of internet radio stations via TuneIn, the Aurora has your music needs covered.
Barnstorming Bluetooth
Aurora uses Bluetooth5.0® — the very latest version with the newest Qualcomm 5100 series chipset. There’s also the super-smooth ESS Sabre DAC chip.
All current and future Bluetooth® audio formats are supported including aptX and aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, LDAC and HWA/LHDC, hi-res Bluetooth® codecs created by Sony and Huawei respectively. Also, we have Apple’s favoured format, AAC.
Every codec is covered at the highest resolution Bluetooth® specification. It’s the only premium Bluetooth music system you need.
Future-proofed.
In addition to wireless connectivity there’s plenty of cable inputs — optical, coaxial, USB and Ethernet inputs cater for digital sources, while a 3.5mm socket provides an Alexa/analogue input. There is even a slot for audio stored on micro SDHC cards.
Aurora, with its awe-inspiring sound sustainable bamboo design, is a truly stunning addition to any home. No other premium all one system wireless music system looks or sounds this good.
Once you’ve heard it, we’re sure you will agree – She’s Electric.

"The Aurora’s beauty, the product of a Japanese-inspired French designer Julien Haziza, has function too. Bamboo, which is more than just decorative, fulfils the audio designer’s dream of a medium that is light, exceptionally stiff and non-resonant, which means no trace of distracting vibrations and buzzes. And the Aurora’s perky upwards tilt sends its gorgeous, spookily spatial sound towards the middle reaches of a room’s height, where it belongs." Financial Times 'How to Spend It' - December 2019

Exceptional piece of art that functions better than it looks
Paul Guinan
6 Sep 2021
Verified Buyer
The iFi Aurora is, without doubt, the prettiest piece of audio equipment I have ever bought. Standing on my glass side table it has an understated presence that promises much and makes a real statement to the room. However, then you switch it on!!! First I was surprised how easy and intuitive it is, the instructions are simplistic but tell you enough to get you going. You are greeted by a ‘warming up’ screen as the valve heats which can be seen in the viewing window, at first this is great by soon becomes tiring.
However, once it is alive the sound that it can produce is just truly remarkable! I have always used 3 tracks to test any audio I have bought and this was going to be no exception, 1st classic piano, beautifully reproduced and with a haunting atmospheric sound, as if the piano was right there in the room, next to some 80’s Paul Weller and again, not a struggle. Perfect vocal reproduction and effortless balance of sound. Having no DSP in the Aurora also opens your eyes to little details that be faded or muted out the sound, I heard little guitar strums and drum beats that I wasn’t aware of in these such well-known tracks and then the real test. I have tried several systems in the past and they can produce a beautifully crisp sound that when pushed in the lower frequencies fall over so next was Charlie by the prodigy (the drum and bass remix). Here the Aurora lit up the room with deep thumping bass but still beautiful high-end crispness and balanced mid-tones, if I had a criticism it would be I found the Aurora a little bass-heavy but as with the other tracks, this may be the way it was intended and I have previously tweaked the sound with the DSP to my liking.
Finally, the added benefit for me was as the Aurora is controlled through an app on your phone I can have complete control over the sound, volume, track without moving a muscle. Hugely recommended, you can probably get the same sound from a good £1000 valve amp but it certainly wouldn’t be as pretty as the Aurora.
