Unveiling AURA: Wharfedale's Latest Speaker Range

Introducing Wharfedale Aura: An Exceptional Speaker Innovation

AURA, Wharfedale's latest speaker lineup, embodies the latest advancements in audio technology. Drawing inspiration from the flagship ELYSIAN series in terms of design, craftsmanship, and technological innovations, AURA sets a new standard for speaker performance without the typical high-end price tag.

AURA AMT: High-Frequency Precision

At the heart of each AURA model lies the renowned Wharfedale AMT (Air Motion Transformer) transducer, delivering breathtaking high-frequency clarity and precision. Unlike traditional dome or ribbon diaphragms, the Wharfedale AMT operates differently. Instead of moving forward and backward like a piston, it utilizes a folded diaphragm with conductive elements immersed in a powerful magnetic field. This unique design not only efficiently moves air but also ensures exceptional accuracy, low distortion, and extraordinary musical detail. The result is a wide bandwidth transducer with scintillating speed and dynamic capability.

AURA Cones: Seamless Audio Performance

To match the AMT's transient accuracy and efficiency, AURA incorporates proprietary woven glass fiber matrix diaphragms for the midrange and bass cones, complemented by high-flexibility rubber surrounds. The voice coils are precisely controlled within high-flux magnetic fields, minimizing distortion. These low-distortion motor systems are securely mounted on die-cast aluminum chassis, meticulously connected to the cabinet to maintain structural rigidity and ensure precise transient response. The rubber trim rings surrounding each chassis serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose by controlling resonance at the chassis-wood cabinet junction.

AURA Crossover: Harmonious Integration

The crossover is the core of any loudspeaker, blending all components into a harmonious whole. Wharfedale, with 90 years of experience, led by Peter Comeau, one of the world's foremost crossover architects, has fine-tuned sophisticated crossover networks over countless listening hours. Only the highest-grade, acoustically transparent components are used throughout the network, preserving every musical detail and ensuring seamless integration between the drive units.

SLPP: An Evolutionary Bass Reflex Design

Wharfedale's SLPP (Slot Loaded Profiled Port) bass reflex design, rooted in the visionary ideas of Gilbert Briggs, enhances the AURA series. High-pressure, high-velocity airflow from a downward-facing port is skillfully distributed through a series of slot ports in the plinth. This innovation minimizes turbulence and maximizes the efficiency of the bass reflex system, a hallmark of the Wharfedale brand.

AURA Cabinet: Aesthetic Excellence

AURA cabinets are a true work of art, available in Black, White, and a beautifully grained Walnut natural wood veneer. Each cabinet undergoes meticulous lacquering and polishing, resulting in a stunning piece of furniture you'll take pride in having in your home, reminiscent of the much higher-priced ELYSIAN series. The smooth, curved cabinet design not only catches the eye but also ensures that acoustic output disperses smoothly into the room, eliminating unwanted reflections from sharp edges.
