Meet our brands
Direct-to consumer
So how do we do it? It's fairly simple, although not easy. We sell our products directly to the end user. Cut out all middlemen that drive up the prices. This enables us to use our 20+ years' expertise to create great products and sell them at a much lower price than otherwise possible.
Our headquarters are located in the heart of Denmark, a country with a rich heritage in audio innovation. As a tribute to Denmark’s proud hi-fi traditions, we craft every product with a distinctly minimalist Scandinavian design.
Timeless, understated, and refined, our aesthetic is made to complement any modern home while reflecting the clarity and purity of the sound within.
The founding of
Argon Audio
The story of Nordic HiFi began long before the company officially took shape—17 years earlier, in fact.
Back then, Argon Audio was the in-house brand of HiFi Klubben, dedicated to delivering quality sound to the entry-level market.
At the heart of it all was Klaus Philipsen, a passionate audio enthusiast who led the brand almost single-handedly. With vision and determination, he built an impressive lineup of products, laying the foundation for what would one day become Nordic HiFi.
The first big success
DAB1
After a few years of hard work and tough learnings, Argon Audio hit its first milestone product, the DAB1 tabletop radio.
It was the product that truly resonated with customers—simple, stylish, and packed with performance.
Like every Argon Audio product, the DAB1 stood out for offering exceptional value without compromising on sound or design.
It proved that great audio didn’t have to come with a hefty price tag, and it marked the beginning of something much bigger.
Bringing the old-school vibe back
The first turntable
At the time, no one could have predicted just how pivotal this product would become. Vinyl had been quietly making a comeback after its so-called demise with the rise of the CD, and the TT-1 was perfectly positioned to ride that growing wave.
While it would still be a few years before turntable sales truly soared, this moment marked the beginning of something special—a quiet revolution that would reignite the love for analog sound.
Groundbreaking innovation
FORTE active speakers
The launch of the FORTE speakers marked a bold new chapter for Argon Audio.
These speakers embody everything we stand for—clean Scandinavian design, uncompromising performance, and incredible value. Engineered in Denmark with meticulous attention to detail, FORTE was our statement to the world: high-quality sound doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.
We’re incredibly proud of what we created, and years later, these speakers are still filling homes across the globe with rich, powerful sound—proving that great audio truly stands the test of time.
A new era
Nordic HiFi is born
Argon Audio was growing. We needed room to breathe, innovate, and push boundaries. So, we took a bold step: branching out from HiFi Klubben to become our own independent company.
This move wasn’t just about space; it was about freedom. The freedom to design audio products that not only elevate everyday listening but also turn heads in the hi-fi world.
It was a time of transformation, full of energy and ambition. Leading us into this exciting new chapter is our CEO, Henrik Reinholdtsen. With fresh ideas and a clear vision, he’s guiding Nordic HiFi toward a future built on innovation, great sound, and customer-first thinking.
Recognition from our peers
Our first EISA-award
Best Value Turntable 2022 goes to... Argon Audio TT-4!
Praised for its solid build quality and outstanding sound performance, the TT-4 earned one of the most respected accolades in the hi-fi world in 2022.
This turntable marked our bold step into more advanced turntable technology—designed not just to look good, but to deliver an audiophile-grade listening experience at an accessible price. With features like an integrated phono stage, custom-designed tonearm, and an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge pre-mounted, the TT-4 punches well above its weight.
The award is a proud milestone for us—and a clear sign that great sound doesn’t have to come with a high-end price tag.
Live Louder
Vestlyd is here to rock!
Creating our second brand was more than just launching new products — it was about making a statement. That’s where Vestlyd comes in.
Inspired by the raw energy of '80s speaker design and the immersive power of live music, Vestlyd brings the concert experience right into your living room. It’s bold, unconventional, and built for those who don’t just listen to music — they live it.
Launched under the Live Louder slogan, our Power Monitors were made to be fun and deliver a sound experience that is impossible to ignore.
Accessories galore
Essentials
Essentials was born from a simple idea: everyday accessories should be as great and stylish as the devices they support.
Drawing from the clean lines and thoughtful minimalism of Nordic design, we focus on what really matters. No gimmicks, no overcomplication, just beautifully built pieces that integrate seamlessly into your setup, whether it’s Hi-Fi, TV, or anything in between.
We make the essentials—done right.
The high-end revolution
Radiant Acoustics
Our first step into high-end audio had to be something special. We set out to deliver true hi-fi performance with unbeatable value.
To achieve this, we called upon some of the best in the business: HiFi Klubben, PURIFI. The three Lyngdorf companies came together with one goal: revolutionize high-end hi-fi.
By combining PURIFI’s cutting-edge tech, decades of Hi-Fi know-how, and clean Danish design, we created speakers that redefine compact speaker performance.
Clarity 6.2 is the first expression of that vision. Pure, dynamic, and beautifully built, it proves that high-end doesn’t have to mean high-priced. And with our direct-to-consumer approach, we’re cutting through the noise—and the markup.
Great sound for the everyday listener
NooN Audio
Our fifth brand took us somewhere new. A step away from the world of audiophiles and into the lives of everyday listeners. While Radiant Acoustics pushes the boundaries of high-end sound, this brand is all about simplicity, accessibility, and joy.
We set out to create products that sound great, look good, and just work. No setup headaches, no bloated price tags. Designed with care and built to last, they’re made for real life and real people.
Because everyone deserves great sound. No fuss, no frills—just music, made easy.
A hard-earned heritage
At Nordic HiFi, we build on decades of Danish audio expertise. Our roots lie deep within HiFi Klubben—a community of passionate sound specialists who have been shaping the hi-fi landscape since 1980. That legacy isn’t just history, it’s the foundation of everything we do.
With insight drawn from hundreds of experts who work closely with music lovers every day, we create products that blend uncompromising sound quality with timeless Scandinavian design. Every detail is guided by a deep respect for craftsmanship, a love for music, and a belief that great hi-fi should be within reach, both in performance and price.
Peter Lyngdorf
As the innovative mind behind HiFi Klubben, Peter Lyngdorf subsequently also laid the foundation for Nordic HiFi. As the owner and a true audio legend, Peter continues to guide us with his knowledge and experience in the hi-fi business to this day.
