Aurora Audio LLC is a professional audio equipment manufacturer based in North Hollywood, California, that designs Class-A outboard gear rooted in classic Neve-style discrete transistor circuitry. The company was founded in the late 1990s by Geoff Tanner, a British engineer who spent roughly 15 years at Rupert Neve & Co. designing broadcast and recording consoles, alongside David Langford and Alan Dickson, owner of Grandmaster Recorders in Hollywood. The operation originated as Phoenix Audio before being rebranded under the Aurora Audio name.

The product line focuses on microphone preamps, equalizers, compressors, channel strips, and small-format consoles. Core offerings include the GTP series of single, dual, and multi-channel preamps (GTP1, GTP2, GTP8), the GTQ series preamps (GTQ1, GTQ2), the GTQC channel strip, the GTC2 dual channel compressor, the GT4-2 and GT4-8 four-band equalizers, the GT500 500-series mic preamp, and the Aurora Audio Sidecar Console.

The brand's reputation in the professional recording community centers on its emphasis on hand-built, discrete Class-A signal paths that reference vintage British console sound while being engineered for modern studio workflows. Units are assembled in the United States and sold both directly and through pro audio retailers specializing in outboard recording equipment.

Aurora Audio has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Preamps, Effects Processors, and Mixers. Their gear is featured by 4 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Rock, and Pop. Notable users include Lorn, Mark Foster, and Above & Beyond.
