Volume Control Volume can be adjusted by using the front touch bar on the Aurora, the included remote control or the MUZO Player App*. Input selection Analogue Inputs RCA/Co-axial – connect left & right cables from an analogue source such as a CD player. 3.5mm – connect via 3.5mm cable for analogue signal input or to use Alexa to control the Aurora.
Ethernet/LAN cable – connect an Ethernet/LAN cable for a wired connection directly from a router or Network Attached Storage (NAS) source. Use the MUZO Player App* to stream Spotify (incl. Connect), TIDAL, Napster, QQ Music and many more. Optical – derive signal input straight from a TV so the Aurora acts as a sound bar. Coaxial – connect an SPDIF source such as a Blu-ray player. Micro SDHC card slot – play music les (WAV, FLAC, AAC, Mp3). Supported up to 128GB. This must be formatted as FAT32**.
** FAT32 - formatting past the Windows 32GB limit 1) The Aurora reads FAT32 only (not NTFS/ExFat/HPF+) 2) OS X formats FAT32 regardless of size. 3) Windows OS by itself is unable to format a drive above 32GB. Third party utilities are required. "FAT32 Formatter" is a basic portable GUI tool that can format drive larger than 32GB. http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm *** Wired is always more preferable to Wireless especially when it comes to reception of higher bandwidth music.
Why room correction? Because the room is always the ' nal component' in the audio chain. The same system will have a different sonic signature if placed along a room compared to if it was placed across a room. This is mainly due to the sound waves 're ecting' differently and this impacts what we hear. For maximum musical enjoyment, we need well thought out room correction for any audio system.
The Aurora proudly uses ASP (Analogue Signal Processing) in its room correction system. This means it is uniquely positioned to play music that is unaltered despite using room correction. Most room correction uses DSP. iFi does not use DSP of this k ind in any of its products. The Aurora incorporates sound-matrix technologies that operate entirely in the analogue domain.
TrueBass is another proprietary sound-tuning technology that operates strictly in the analogue domain. The depth and quality of bass supplied by all-in-one lifestyle systems often leaves a lot to be desired. The TrueBass system, incorporating the two downward- ring bass radiators, ensures that the Aurora delivers genuine bass with realistic depth and de nition.
At the heart of the Aurora, lies iFi's proprietary amp technology 'PureEmotion' - a hybrid circuit design comprising several key stages. The rst of these - the preamp stage - incorporates a Russian 6N3P valve (visible through a window next to the OLED display).
