Turntables — Auris Audio Bayadere 1

The Bayadere 1 is a belt-drive turntable from Auris Audio, pre-fitted with the W9 tonearm, built with more substantial mass than the compact MYSTiK. The Bayadere 1 brings Auris's considered engineering to a serious analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with an AC motor. The turntable comes pre-installed with the W9 tonearm - a complete, factory-matched analogue front end, matching the Auris Jazz. At 385 x 300 x 112mm and 12kg, the Bayadere 1 represents a more substantial commitment than the Auris MYSTiK, reflecting serious internal chassis engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable, accomplished vinyl playback experience reflecting the factory-matched W9 tonearm combined with the substantial 12kg mass, consistent with Auris's broader considered engineering philosophy.

Pairing

The pre-installed W9 tonearm comes factory-matched, requiring only a cartridge selection for immediate use.

Alternatives

Auris's own Bayadere 3 offers a somewhat more substantial alternative within the same broader Bayadere catalogue.
