Turntables — Auris Audio Bayadere 3

The Bayadere 3 is a belt-drive turntable from Auris Audio, sitting above the Bayadere 1 with somewhat greater mass. The Bayadere 3 brings Auris's more accomplished current 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, matching the Bayadere 1. At 385 x 300 x 132mm and 14kg, the Bayadere 3 shares a similar footprint to the Bayadere 1 with somewhat greater depth and mass.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable, accomplished vinyl playback experience reflecting the factory-matched W9 tonearm combined with the somewhat greater 14kg mass, representing Auris's more accomplished current turntable engineering above the Bayadere 1.

Pairing

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

Alternatives

Auris's own Bayadere 1 offers a more accessible alternative within the same broader Bayadere catalogue.
